NeonZ said:Takamaru also was mentioned thrice in the SSBB poll too. If Takamaru is in, that might explain why other Samurai-style swordsman, like Goroh and Lyn, are just Assists. They'd be rather redundant with Takamaru in the game.

This post was both informative and got me thinking. I've seen Takamaru's name thrown around left and right for a while but never bothered to look up who he was. The thought that he would supercede Lyn and Goroh (was really hoping to be a playable) as sword users intrigued me enough to look him up now. Seems like a decent enough character design. Game must have been pretty solid or iconic to be remembered for so long. Do we want Takamaru for Brawl?
