Facts
The character is named Taizo Hori (ホリ タイゾウ 'Hori Taizo'). It's a pun on 'horitai zo' which means 'I want to dig'.
Analysis
Adaptive Music - this game uses synchronized scoring/'Mickey Mousing', where the music starts and stops whether or not Taizo Hori is moving, roughly syncing music to the character movement and animation.
