Taizo Hori was a character who appears in Sonic For Hire episodes Dig Dug, The Battle: Part 01 and The Battle: Part 02. He reappears in Movie Magic and Soniqua Mad.
History[]
He claims that his job is to dig into the homes of monsters and either crush them to death with a rock or pump their stomachs full of air until they explode. Sonic finds this disturbing and asks if he and Kirby could meet and get along believing that they're both psychopaths. Sonic comments on how the monsters don't look dangerous he asks how he would know just because of "a couple good games like 20 years and a shit load of shitty, shit since then!". He then yells that Sonic is no better than the monsters and deserves to die too, but Sonic steals Taizo's pump and blows him up, leaving his wallet, Sonic tells the monster that they can roam free, Sonic runs away and the monsters escape to rape the nearest village.
He later appears with Mario's other goons and breaks Sonic's poster, Taizo Hori seems to be revived but he is still injured. After Mario and his goons attack Sonic and co., He begins to fight but he was quickly devoured by Kirby. He appeared in Movie Magic, where him and the rest of Mario's old team where on a green screen, from the episode "The Battle Part 02."
