T.J. Snapper

T.J. Snapper (カメラマン) is a photographer who appears in the Rhythm Game Freeze Frame in Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Story
T.J. Snapper loves to take pictures. He used to take a lot of pictures of his girlfriend who has a career in modeling. One day he got into race cars, and she suggested he take pictures of them for the local paper. He became obsessed with work, never taking pictures of his girlfriend, leaving her feeling a little lonely.

She decided to pull a prank on him, by going to racetrack and dressing up as one of the pit crew. As T.J. Snapper was taking pictures of race cars, she leapt in front of the camera, and to her surprise had her picture taken along with one of the cars. Although she wishes she could've "looked a little more presentable", she's satisfied with the result. She later wrote A Confession about this.

In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, she appears in the Superb epilogue for Freeze Frame, having her picture taken along with the winner of the race.

T.J. Snapper by himself appears in Battle of the Bands pointing his camera at the Rockers from the audience. He appears along with his girlfriend in Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic 09 にぎやかでおだやかな夜の巻き (A lively and peaceful night), where a boy passes by T.J taking pictures of a fancy car, while his girlfriend initially looks displeased that he loves cars so much, but affirms that she loves him anyway. T.J. Snapper also appears in Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic 33レスラーとファン (Wrestler and Fans), where he takes pictures of Wrestler and his fans as part of the Wrestler Fan Satsuei-kai (レスラーファン撮影会).

Trivia

 * Although T.J. Snapper's girlfriend mentions being "busy with work" in Rhythm Tengoku Gold and Rhythm Sesang, and having a career in modeling in Rhythm Heaven, the French, German, Italian and Spanish versions of Rhythm Paradise have her say she always wanted to be a model instead, implying she does not have such a career yet.
 * T.J. Snapper's girlfriend looks similar to Mona from the WarioWare series, although their designs in Rhythm Heaven Megamix were tweaked to make them more distinct.
 * Mona herself also makes a cameo among the crowd in the Freeze Frame section of the Wario...Where? Challenge Train course, which makes the resemblance more obvious. In the same section, T.J. Snapper is replaced with Dr. Crygor.
