 The Air Batter is a youth devoted to baseball and rhythm.<ref name="chara"/> During [[Spaceball]], he brought a [[Rice Ball]] for lunch, but lost it at some point<ref>"なくなったと思ってたら、ボールの中に、まぎれていたのネ。" ("I thought [the rice ball] was gone, but it was hidden with the baseballs.") ~ [[Rice Ball|おにぎり]] (Rice Ball), ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</ref>. It appeared mixed in with the balls, and he hit it without a second thought, sending into the void of space. He regretted this while complaining about being hungry<ref>"This rice ball was supposed to be my lunch. I didn't mean to knock it into the endless void of space--it was supposed to fill the endless void of my stomach. So...hungry..." ~ [[Rice Ball]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>.
-In the [[Superb]] epilogues of [[Spaceball]] and [[Air Batter 2]], he receives a trophy for winning first "space". In the other epilogues, he's shown to be very polite, offering an alien his rice ball in exchange for a ball which hit the alien's UFO, and he is seen pulling a tire to train himself. During an [[Rhythm Shiryo Shitsu#エアーバッター速報 (Air Batter Report)|interview]], he talks fondly of rice balls, and mentions his girlfriend (who incidentally is good at cooking rice balls). When asked why he wears masks during the game, he dodges the question and leaves the interview. It's likely he has no special reason for wearing them<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/brij/chara/secret.html キャラクターアルバム　もろもろ] (Character Album Various)</ref>.

 ==Trivia==
-*It is unclear if the character in the [[Lush Remix]] version of [[Spaceball]] is meant to be the Air Batter dressed as the [[Pitcher]], or if it is the [[Pitcher]] herself.
+*In [[Lush Remix]], the batter during the [[Spaceball]] sections resembles [[Pitcher]] from [[Exhibition Match]]. It is unclear if this is Air Batter dressed like her, or if it is meant to be the actual [[Pitcher]].
+*Though the rice ball is usually referred to consistently as a rice ball, it is bizarrely referred to as a dumpling once in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''<ref>"C-can I have my ball back? I'll give you my last dumpling..." ~ [[Try Again]] epilogue to [[Spaceball]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>, and referred to as a kimbap in ''[[Rhythm Sesang: The Best Plus]]'', with the added detail of it having a salted pollack roe inside<ref>"점심에 먹으려 했던 삼각김밥. 안에는 반드시 명란젓을 넣는다. 없어진 줄 알았더니 공들 사이에 섞여 있던 모양. 그것도 모르고 저 멀리 날려 버렸다. 아아~ 배고파. 망했어..." (The triangle kimbap I was planning to eat for lunch. They always put salted pollack roe inside. I thought it was gone, but it seemed to have been mixed in with the balls. I didn't even realize it, so I tossed it far away. Ugh, I'm hungry. I'm screwed...) ~ 아침 일찍 일어나 만듭니다 ([[Rice Ball]]), ''[[Rhythm Sesang: The Best Plus]]''</ref>.
