Profile
見るもの全てを赤と青にしてしまう。黄色いバナナも赤く見える？
His 3D glasses are a big favorite of his,
they make everything look red and blue. It seems that even yellow bananas look red to him.
Boy is a wealthy British video game guru and businessman who owns many arcades and makes and develops his own video games. On the Vocal Best cover, he is seen driving a car with Sugi-kun and Reo-kun in the passenger seats, and teasing women. In Pop'n Music 3, he finally got a girlfriend but it's never stated who she is.
Appearance
Techno'80
Boy is a pudgy man with a blond bowl cut parted in the front, an upturned nose and wearing a pair of white 3D glasses, obscuring most of his face. He dons a simple red suit with a yellow collar and brown clogs. This is his original 1P (3P in Pop'n Music 2 and onwards).
Boy's 2P color (4P in Pop'n Music 2 and onwards) has him with red hair, and his suit is now all black and has a white collar and his shoes are brown once more. This palette is used for Dreamy in Pop'n Music 3 CS.
His 3P palette (1P in Pop'n Music 2 and onwards) gives him orange hair, paler skin, and his suit is now light gray. His shoes are black and his collar is orange. This is used in Pop'n Music 2 CS for Funny.
Boy's 4P palette (2P in Pop'n Music 2 and onwards) changes his hair to light blue, and his suit is all orange with a white collar and red shoes. It's used in Pop'n Music 5 CS for News.
Pop Beats
Boy's attire remains identical to his debut, although his hair is now orange. He has an orange suit with a white collar and worn with purple shoes. He keeps his 3D glasses as well.
In his 2P coloring, his suit becomes green with black shoes, and his hair is lime colored.
Techno'80 Remix
Boy appears with blond hair once more, drawn in a rocker style. He sports a purple and white plaid suit with a navy blue collar and black shoes, along with several different pop outfits.
In Boy's 2P palette he regains orange hair, and his suit is deep magenta with white shoes and a yellow collar.

Last time, while I was playing Beatmania IIDX, I saw three girls running around. Huh, they looked like they were jumping out. Is it because of my glasses?

References
