Ringo is a Japanese version of Jundooz (he would tell you that I’m a Swiss/Chinese version of Ringo but don’t listen to him, he’s lying). His name means “Apple” in Japanese but Jundooz likes to call him Gringo just to piss him off. He’s the perfect example on how two people could be totally similar and yet, beat each other to death (well.. via bears).
Like all Japanese, Ringo is protectionist and somewhat a bit nationalistic. He truly hates “gaijin” (ie. westerners) who give themselves Japanese nicknames (”Naruto” being the worst) or adding “-kun” or “-chan” at the end and act like Japanese people. He believes that it’s not because you’re Japanese that you love sushis… he happens to love them, that’s all.
