Guido Anchovy

Guido Anchovy (スカシー) is the main deuteragonist of the series. In the Japanese version, he goes under the identity Nyanki 2gou (ニャンキー2号), the blue member of the Samurai Pizza Cats.

Appearance
Guido is a humanoid cyborg cat. He is 150 cm (4.11") tall, weighs 55 kg (121 lbs.). Keeping in the theme of the other Pizza Cats, he dons a blue suit of armor with a red chest plate and various details of yellow around his ears, wrists, and feet. He is tall, dark-furred, and has red eyes. His monocular telescopic visor is a light blue color, as well as various details around his hands and feet.

Personality
Guido Anchovy is the resident cool dude of the group. He is often seen chasing after girls, although he has little success in romance. He has a generally laid-back attitude but springs into action when there's evil afoot (or a dazzling damsel catches his eye).

Weapons and Abilities

 * Kunai: Guido's projectile weapons.


 * Samurai Sunspot Umbrella: Guido's weapon of choice. It can fire rings, heat beam, spun to hypnotize enemies, and used as a club (when closed) or shield (when open).

(Note: Nyanki Catbell was removed because in the series, Guido is shown to be the only member of the Pizza Cats (besides the members of the Rescue Team) who doesn't wear one on his collar.
 * Luminous: Guido's swordstick sheathed in the Sunspot Umbrella; which allows him to perform his own ninjutsu technique, Ichimonji Fire. 

Relationships

 * Speedy Cerviche: He and Speedy are good friends and fellow employees at the Pizza Cat Restaurant and as Samurai Pizza Cats. They fight over Lucille a lot, but later Speedy chooses to be with Polly (in the English version). Guido sometimes sees Speedy as a loudmouth but the two are actually great friends that just enjoy competing with each other.
 * Polly Esther: Guido's friend and teammate, whom he sometimes gets on her nerves along with Speedy at times, and as a result, they usually get a beating or get smacked with a frying pan.
 * Francine: Guido's boss in the Pizza Cat Restaurant. She convinced Guido to snap out of his self-pity and go help his friends in No Talent Guido.
 * Bad Bird: Guido sees him nothing more as a bad guy, and a rival at work when he applies for a part-time job at the main branch. But later on, Guido notices his good side, when seeing how much of a nice coworker Bad Bird is, as well as liking him and Carla together.
 * Lucille: Guido's biggest crush where it puts him and Speedy into a rivalry for her affection.
 * Ruby: A girl whom Guido lands a crush, but was later heartbroken to learn she already has a boyfriend.
 * Big Al Dente: Guido's other boss and superior of him and his fellow employees/teammates.

Trivia

 * His name is a reference to the anchovy fish; and Guido is a common Italian name, which is also used as a slang term for a young, male Italian-American in New York.
 * His entire name references Guido Nincheri, an Italian-Canadian artist whom the Pope considered "the Church's greatest artist of religious themes." In this way, his name parallels that of certain other Papally-acclaimed painters such as Raphael and Michelangelo.
 * He is known to make various inappropriate or sexual references throughout Samurai Pizza Cats, some more subtle than others.
 * In episode 12 of KNT (episode 11 of SPC), the Japanese text in the Ninja Crows' profile of Guido claims he has the following: Athlete's Foot, Tuberculosis, a brain tumor and AIDS. However the accuracy of this is questionable as the Ninja Crows' research turned out to be nonsense.
 * Older promotional materials spelled Guido's last name as "Anchovi". However, Anchovy has since become the official spelling such as Madman Entertainment's DVD release.
 * His last name is also spelled as "Anchovie" in the Saban Powerhouse comics.
