''' | '''Lou''' is a character in [[Mother 3]]. He can often be found practicing comedy routines with [[Bud]]. | ||
==In ''[[Mother 3]]''== | |||
Lou and his performing partner Bud practice comedy acts which work much like the traditional Japanese stand-up comedy act known as {{wp|manzai}}. In these acts, Lou plays the role of the ''{{wp|tsukkomi}}'' or "straight man". Much like the real-life comedy act, their acts consist of the two of them talking about a random subject, then sometime through Bud (playing the "funny man") makes a pun out of it or says something ridiculous. Lou then proceeds to smack Bud on the head, followed by a simultaneous bow performed by both of them, as two-key tune is heard. The duo can be found as early as [[Chapter 1]] during the search for [[Flint]]'s family. | |||
They are later seen working in the factory in [[Chapter 4]], where they quit their comedy routine. Speaking to them reveals they nearly forgot they did it in the first place because it was so long ago. | |||
In [[Chapter 8]] they are found once again in [[New Pork City]], where they once again perform their comedy routine. | |||
==Name origin== | |||
In the [[Mother 3 fan translation]], Lou was named after [[wikipedia:Abbott and Costello|Lou Costello]] of the Abbott and Costello comedy duo. His original Japanese name, Achato, is a play on a Japanese [[wikipedia:manzai|manzai]] comedian named [http://mcel.pacificu.edu/aspac/papers/scholars/bensky/#003 Hanabishi Achako]. | |||
