*Nik's name is most likely derived from the Japanese word for meat, niku (肉). However, Nik's name in Japanese is "Nick," which written as Nikku (ニック).Nik's old character page His English-sounding name may be a jab at America's obesity crisis, as the Katamari series has made this same joke with the American Guy.Obesity in the United States on Wikipedia.
**In one of the We ♥ Katamari loading screens, his name is mistakenly spelt as "Nick."
*Nik's description on Namco's website reads: "A Cousin who always eats too much. Even though he hasn't been on a diet, he seems to have gained more weight than before due to rebound. He has no likes or dislikes at all, nor does he have set meal times. He can eat anytime and anywhere. He doesn't refuse what is offered to him. Nik will eat it himself even if it is not served to him. It seems that he only shows off his hermit-like versatility and youth-like positivity when it comes to eating."Character descriptions in the We ♥ Katamari section of Namco's website
