— Sick Beats SP Description (Rhythm Tengoku)

The Sick Beats Doctor (バイキンはかせ^?, Baikin Hakase) is a character who kills viruses with forks in the minigame Sick Beats from Rhythm Tengoku and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Backstory

The Sick Beats Doctor is known to everyone in the lab and is at the top of his field of virus extermination. He uses a machine to stab the viruses with tiny forks "Because the side effects of medicine can be scary, too."^[1]

On August 3, 2006, about five years after the doctor announced his new method for bacterial research in "Microbe Today", he and his students continue working day and night to catalog their newest data. While looking at a vial received from the mysterious Rhythm League, they discovered the Microbes.^[2]
