History[]
When the wrestling match between Chopper Man and Usodabada began, Minoru and Shopan commentated on it. He spoke with Shopan during the fight, and both suspected something amiss.

He swiftly defeated Usodabada in the match, but the villain continued to fight Chopper Man with Gigantic Robot Frangashan.[1]

Translation and Dub Issues[]
In the Funimation dub, Minoru's surname "Kazeno", which is homophonous with "of wind" (風の, kaze no?), is translated as the epithet "the Wind".
Trivia[]
- Kazeno Minoru is based on the Japanese wrestler Minoru Suzuki, who voices the character. They are both wrestlers and have the same hair style.
- Minoru's surname name, "Kazeno" is homophonous with "of wind" (風の, kaze no?). He wears the kanji for "wind" (風?) on his shirt (which also makes up the "kaze" of his name), and Chopper Man tells him to "become the wind" when he tags in to the wrestling match.
