Stinkoman fighting and/or challenging

Stinkoman is Strong Bad as he might appear in a Japanese cartoon. He is an amalgam of anime stereotypes, and is obsessed with challenging and fighting. He seems more than willing to eat dirt, since he has done so on more than one occasion. He was first thought up in japanese cartoon, but he was first mentioned in island, where Homestar Runner called Strong Bad "Stinkoman".

His only halloween costume (or "cosplay") was Speed Racer.

Several of Stinkoman's more famous lines, such as "Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you asking for a challeeeeeeeeenge?!" or "No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older" , are suprisingly similar to those said by Tengu Man, a boss enemy from Mega Man 8, such as "Ha, it's only a kid" and "Are you a worthy challenge?", both in content and voice intonation.

The line "No way, you're only a kid! Maybe when you're older!" is also used several times in the anime movie Akira (or some variation, depending on the translation). The 20X6 and Akira connection is seen again later in the Easter Egg for 3 Times Halloween Funjob

His original name was supposed to be "Stinkoman K". And actually, the reason he's called Stinkoman at all is because Homestar says "Hey, stinkoman" in island to Strong Bad. When this was referenced in japanese cartoon by 20x6 Homestar, the name stuck.
