Jumboman

Jumboman is a crime-fighting superhero from the Sunflower Continent. He is a very large human with super strength and flight. He is actually one of a large family of heroes, all of whom call themselves "Jumboman" or some variation.

Jumboman was introduced in the first Katamari Damacy and has become one of its more recognizable characters. He appears in all games of the series, and even shows up in the intro for We ♥ Katamari and Me & My Katamari.

The Jumbomen have their own show on TV inside the Sunflower Continent called “Go! Jumbomen!” It features the Jumbomen fighting evil monsters in the Sunflower Continent and protecting the world from immediate danger. As shown in Katamari Forever, the Jumbomen show happens in real-time according to other events in the game. It was shown that they were responsible for the star that knocked The King into a deep coma.

Types[]

Jumboman - The original. He wears a red outfit similar to a Power Ranger, with horns on the sides & the number 1 on the back of his helmet. He is the oldest out of the three Jumbo Brothers. Also known as "Fly, Jumboman!" as he flies around. In Katamari Forever, it was revealed that his name is No. 1. He acts a fierce leader and pushes his brothers to do intense training. In comparison to his younger brother Mbili, he always seems to be on top of everything, but deep down he does know that Mbili means well. He has a knack for flying because he thinks it is cool. In Me & My Katamari, his description reads that he patrols the skies daily looking out for evil and other threats to Earth.
Fight, Jumboman! - A yellow Jumboman with the number 2 on the back of his helmet. He is the half-brother of Jumboman #1. He is often holding and/or swinging Mecha Mogran, a Neck Monster, or a Mogera by the tail. In Katamari Forever, it was revealed that his name is Mbili. He is always trying to be top dog, but feels like he is always in the shadow of his older brother. He tries to bring new ideas and tactics but No. 1 always disagrees with him. His description in the collection tells us that he is No.1’s half brother. He sometimes sports some power gloves that increase his power and thinks it is a good way to spice up their routine training. In Me & My Katamari, his description tells us that he uses a special technique to defeat monsters. The problem is that he cannot stop using it once started.
Marine Jumboman - A gigantic blue Jumboman from the sea with the number 3 on the back of his helmet. He is the brother-in-law of Jumboman and Fight, Jumboman! He can often be found in the ocean, patrolling the coasts of the Sunflower Continent. He sometimes rises from and sinks into the sea. Often slow thinking, and slow-paced, he’s been described by the other Jumbomen as “someone with a low profile”. His real name was never revealed in the game, but his description in the collection shows him to be the Jumbomen's brothers-in-law and may not actually be related to the other Jumbomen. In Me & My Katamari, his description tells us that he despises those who try to disrupt the peace and that he walks strangely.
Jumbo Papa - The father of all Jumbomen (Jumbomans?). He is huge, purple, and has a more distinct mustache than the smaller Jumbomen. He is often seen in the background of the other Jumbomen, goofing off like catching butterflies, or hanging off of rockets. He is retired and enjoying his retirement as his sons are now on the frontline.
