John is an Inkling Boy from the Splatoon (Series) series and was introduced in Splatoon 1. He acts as the male player character for the game, alongside Kaori (Splatoon) who is the female player mascot.
He usually wears a pair of goggles on his head, a white short-sleeved T-Shirt with a black long-sleeved shirt underneath, black bike shorts and large purple Sneakers. His hair tentacles are tied up in a Topknot and is most frequently colored blue, (though this may change depending on his team's color).
