In ''Encyclopedia Mother'', he is depicted as an energetic and adventurous boy, being compared with [[wikipedia:Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones]]. His dog, [[Mick]], is very close to him, especially during his years as an infant. He is very popular in school, and has been chosen as "Mr. Leader" by his fellow classmates. He also displays a strong interest in baseball, being a "team regular" in the boys' baseball team, and thus plays baseball routinely. Being kept a secret from his mother, he enjoys playing the electric guitar that his father has gotten for him, especially when being accompanied by Mick. His [[favorite food]] is prime rib, which his mother serves for dinner once a week.<ref>[[:File:PrimeRibRef.jpg|Excerpt from Ninten's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref> Ninten also loves penguins, even owning a penguin toy, which is one of his most cherished possessions.<ref name=kenisu/> | In ''Encyclopedia Mother'', he is depicted as an energetic and adventurous boy, being compared with [[wikipedia:Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones]].

Among Ninten's favorite things are his baseball cap, a ticket to the Tokyo Giants, a photo of [[Maria|his great-grandmother]], a ball signed by [[wikipedia:Shigeo Nagashima|Shigeo Nagashima]], a bent spoon, and a penguin toy.<ref name=NintensFavoriteThings>[[:File: | Among Ninten's favorite things are his baseball cap, a ticket to the Tokyo Giants, a photo of [[Maria|his great-grandmother]], a ball signed by [[wikipedia:Shigeo Nagashima|Shigeo Nagashima]], a bent spoon, and a penguin toy.<ref name=NintensFavoriteThings>[[:File:Ninten's Favorite Things.png|Excerpt from Ninten's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref> He got the baseball cap from his father, and it is considered to be his trademark; he rarely takes it off, being mainly when he showers, when it comes off as a result from a powerful swing when playing baseball, or when he sleeps, as can be seen in the expanded ending of ''[[EarthBound Beginnings]]''. The Tokyo Giants tickets were brought to him by his father after a trip to Japan, which Ninten believes is the "sister team" of the [[wikipedia:San Francisco Giants|San Francisco Giants]], being his favorite team. The sepia-colored, elliptical-bordered photo of his great-grandmother is kept in his desk, and is something he really treasures. The right half of the photo, which is thought to depict her husband, [[George]], has been torn off. Ninten received the ball signed by Shigeo Nagashima when he was watching a match in the "big leagues", and thereafter noticed that Nagashima sat next to him, recalling him from a special feature in a baseball magazine. The bent spoon became curved when he played with it during a dinner, when he already was full due to earlier having eaten at a hot dog stand, and as a result was unable to restrain himself, and bent the spoon through unknown means. Lastly, Ninten keeps the penguin toy due to his interest of penguins. When penguins were introduced at the [[Choucream Zoo|local zoo]], it made a really big impression on him, as he previously only had seen them on pictures and TV.<ref name=kenisu/><ref name=NintensFavoriteThings/> | ||
