Chimaki is a mysterious and silent character in the Guilty Gear series who, according to Daisuke Ishiwatari, serves as the franchise's mascot.

In Guilty Gear 2 -Overture-'s Replay Mode, players can run around the field controlling him. Chimaki received his own spin-off game in Pro Jumper! Guilty Gear Tangent!?, and appears in multiplayer lobbies in Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- to give advice to players.

Design[]

Chimaki's body has the shape of a white star, pitch black eyes, a topknot, and a small green leaf between his leg- Sporting a moustache and smoking a cigarette, Chimaki can be confused for a stuffed toy.

Personality[]

It is said that Chimaki does not actually think, at least in any way humans understand. He is not entirely aware of what those around him do, or, for that matter, what he himself does. Anything said to him goes in one ear and out the other... if he has ears. Supposedly he has the same emotional capacity as a human being, which may be why he seems to show affection for small animals to the point of following them around and documenting their routines.

He has an excellent aesthetic sense, is gentle, easily moved to tears, and sensitive to bullying. He is also a man of few words, but when he is moved emotionally, those words become fewer still. When a particular item is put into play, his intelligence and cleverness increase exponentially.

Story[]

Chimaki was born in a conservative island nation known as Japon, which strongly favored remaining neutral and isolated on the world stage. Times changed, however, and foreign culture made its way to the shores of his country. Extremists who despised these changes chose to resist violently.

In this time of chaos, the government realized the only way to stop these extremists was through the use of force, and created an anti-terrorist unit, the C1000. At the forefront of its inception was Chimaki. Although the C1000 patriots struggled to execute their authority, they managed to bring a new era to their island home. No longer in need of their services, President Meiji ordered the dismantling of the C1000.

As a result, the Chimaki is unemployed, overcome with boredom, and has generally abandoned thinking at all. It is in this state that he became Sin Kiske's precious stuffed toy prior to Guilty Gear 2 -Overture-.

Abilities[]

It is said that Chimaki's skill with the sword is completely unprecedented. In Pro Jumper! Guilty Gear Tangent!?, his primary attack consists of slapping a towel on his opponents.

Trivia[]

  • Chimaki was originally spotted in an "important magazine". Initially he was called Mononofu, but due to "overwhelming (?)" player demand, he was renamed to Chimaki.
  • In the BlazBlue Radio segments in which Ishiwatari appears as Sol, Chimaki is seen hanging on the side of the omake Sol's head, as if being worn as a hair ornament; similar to Litchi Faye-Ling's Lao Jiu.
  • In Guilty Gear -Strive-, May carries a Chimaki-themed backpack.
  • His appearance somewhat ressembles Big Nose from the Pink Panther franchise, but more oriental.
