Horohoro

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. He is the older brother of Pirica and his guardian ghost is Kororo, a small nature spirit. Horohoro is a tall boy and he is most commonly seen wearing a white and blue skiing outfit, black shorts and skiing shoes that can be attached to his snowboard. He has long light turquoise blue hair that when tied together with his headband (that has Ainu styled patterns on it) sticks up in spikes. Horohoro is good-natured and cheerful, but he gets serious in dangerous situations. He argues constantly with his teammate Ren, and they do not seem to get along at all. However, it is shown that he really does care for Ren, when he tells Yoh that if he can't save Ren, he would never forgive him. Horohoro is also very secretive about his past not willing to talk about it even to his friends. In addition, he can also get very competitive, even going so far as to turn Ryu's arms to ice and shatter them during the shaman fights. His main goal is to save the Koro Pokkuru ("Minutians" in the English anime), a tiny spirit people. As part of this goal, he intends to plant a vast field of Butterbur. During the battle, Horohoro mainly uses ice to either attack his opponent with projectiles or creating large chunks of barriers to protect himself. During the Shaman Fight, he forms the team “The Ren” together with Ren and Chocolove. In the English anime version of the anime series, his real name is Horohoro but he prefers to be called Trey Racer. In both manga series and Japanese version of the anime series, his real name is Usui Horokeu(碓氷ホロケウ) and Horohoro is just a nickname.
