Horohoro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Horohoro (ホロホロ) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Shaman King. In the English anime, his real name is Horohoro but he prefers to be called Trey Racer. In the Japanese anime and the manga, his real name is Horokeu Usui (碓氷ホロケウ Usui Horokeu), and Horohoro is a nickname.
Horohoro is an Ainu from Hokkaidō, a prefecture in Japan. In the English anime, he is described as from "the Northern Woods" instead of from Hokkaidō. Horohoro's main goal in the Shaman Fight is to save the Koro Pokurru (Minutians in the English anime), a tiny spirit people. His guardian ghost is Kororo (Corey in the English anime)("Kori" also means ice)a spirit who is smitten for Manta Oyamada.
His younger sister, Pirka (Pirika in the anime) trains him harshly, similar to how Anna trains her fiancè, Yoh Asakura. Horohoro's name sounds and is spelled (in Katakana) like "boroboro," which means "crap," which causes humorous problems when some characters mispronounce his name.
In the English anime, when Trey reveals his nickname, Morty sings the Speed Racer theme with Trey's nickname in place of Speed.
Horohoro's birthday is on November 27, 1984. His Japanese voice actor (seiyū) is Yuji Ueda.
In the Japanese version, Chocolove McDaniel got his name mixed up with "Boro Boro" which means, "worn out, slezy, and beatup." Horohoro says the usual reaction to Chocolove's joke, "It's Horo Horo you bastard!"
