Ming Ming (眠眠 Minmin) is Zowie's cat. She is just as rude as her master, but she is content to nap most of the time. She doesn't really like Puma, and the two seem to have some type of rivalry. It seems to be a reference to the classic cat/dog rivalry in the media, and how the villain has a pet cat and the hero has a dog. Gregorio III claims she is hard to handle and that he is not particularly fond of her.

Ming Ming appears as a boss in the duet mode of the PSP port of Gitaroo Man, Gitaroo Man Lives!.

History[]

Ming Ming first appears sitting on Zowie's lap in the cutscenes before Stage 3 and 4. After U-1 defeats Ben-K in his robot form, Zowie beams a hologram of himself from a blimp to introduce himself. After he says U-1 cannot defeat him in a million billion years, Ming Ming goes on Zowie's shoulder and insults U-1 too. As Zowie's hologram disappears, Ming Ming is losing her balance on his shoulder and looks like she's going to fall down.

After U-1 finds out that Zowie kidnaps Puma, Ming Ming says it was too easy and insults Puma, with Puma trying to desperately attack her even though he can't because he's tied up.

Ming Ming never appears again in the game, but she is playable in VS Play stage 8. She however returns in the PSP port, Gitaroo Man Lives! as a boss in the Duet Mode exclusive to the port. She plays a percussion unit as her gitaroo. It is unknown if this stage is actually canon to the main storyline, since these stages have no story to them, or if they were added just to simply add new content to the port. This could mean that Ming Ming has followed in Zowie's footsteps as the new ruler of the Gravillian Empire. Of course she ends up being defeated by U-1 and Kirah.

Trivia[]

  • Ming Ming's name translates to "sleepy sleep", which makes sense since she naps most of the time.
