| ~ Joka |
Joka (in Japanese: ジョーカー, Joker) is the main antagonist of the Klonoa series.
He is a clown-like dream creature who initially serves as Ghadius' right-hand, aiding in the resurrection of Nahatomb to destroy Phantomile. After Ghadius' death, Joka strikes out on his own and becomes a recurring threat across various dream worlds. He is also the archenemy of Klonoa, having murdered his adoptive grandfather in the first game.
He was voiced by Bin Shimada in the Japanese version, and by the late Dave Mallow in the English version of the Wii game.
Personality[]
Joker is often described as greedy and cowardly, and will use any kind of underhanded tactic in order to win. He appears to be very fond of his boss, Ghadius, and does most of his dirty work. Joker is incompetent and inept through most of the first game, but after being berated by Ghadius he becomes more menacing and unpredictable in order to redeem himself in his master's eyes.
