Norimaro is a beloved fighting game guest character appearing only in the Japanese versions of Marvel Super Heroes Versus Street Fighter. (He is also one of the only
playable characters in Capcom's Versus Series not to return in MVC2.) The guest character was the hilarious result of a collaboration between Japanese comedian, Noritake Kinashi (on whom the character's likeness is based), and Capcom's design team for 1997's Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter. In a rare video posted on Twitter by @felineki, the famous Japanese comic is seen
performing the actual motion capture used in
the making of Norimaro's brilliantly-animated 2D sprite for the game.  A live audience can also be heard in the video, as the footage is taken from a classic Japanese televised program featuring Noritake Kinashi. Click "play" in the video below to watch the short clip!
