Winfred "Big Wins" Kitaki is the father of Wocky Kitaki and the fourth and current leader of the Kitaki family. Recently, he has had a change of heart and aims to run an honest business.

Personality

Winfred is a stern, but level-headed man who is very protective of his family. He and Wocky often don't get along.

Name

• "Winfred" was likely chosen for his nickname "Big Wins".

• His Japanese name possibly comes from the phrase "tsune ni katsu" meaning "always wins".
• His large, ominous appearance can be compared to that of Marlon Brando's role in "The Godfather".
• At first glance, his eyes are foreshadowed. But at the end of the trial, the "shadows" were revealed to be very large eyebrows with his eyes sitting behind them.

Development

• He bears a resemblance to Don Vito Corleone, from The Godfather.

• He appears to have very menacing, deep-set eyes, but later in the game it is revealed that these are just extemely thick eyebrows. This may be a reference to Don Vito Corleone, whose eyes were very shaded in many of his pictures.

• Winfred Kitaki's apron sports a cartoon fox's head wearing a leaf. Along with the Japanese name for the Kitakis, "Kitakitsune", this is a reference to kitsune, the Japanese word for fox and a common subject of Japanese folklore. In such tales, the foxes are able to take on human shape (usually beautiful women) by placing reeds, a broad leaf, or a skull over its head. The fox even seems to have long eyelashes, indicating that it is supposed to be female.
