History
Once a normal human excavator, Taizo Hori ended up encountering strange monsters while digging underground in the event known as the "Dig Dug" incident. Thanks to quick thinking, knowledge of his terrain and his handy drill-pump, he defeated the monsters and became a hero to his people. Since then, Taizo traveled the world and enjoyed the fame and glory, but often has to come out of his retirement to stop more subterranean threats, even founding a superhero squad to deal with such. But he also does his best to be a good man to his family and sons, one such son being the more recent digging phenomenon, Susumu Hori, AKA, Mr. Driller.
