==Biography==

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/>

==Trivia==

*Ninten's name comes from the first six letters in Nintendo.

*The name Ninten was used in manuals for other [[Nintendo]] media when referring to a character who the player names<ref name=Ninten>[http://earthboundcentral.com/2011/03/ninten-isnt-exactly-ninten/ Ninten isn't Exactly Ninten - EarthBound Central.] Retrieved March 16th, 2011.</ref>.
