======Haniwa====== **Haniwa** were originally produced in Japan during the [[wp>Kofun period]]. They are typically small terracotta figures that were made in many forms. In videogames they are predominately the same type: a cylindrical boy with round top, hollow round eyes and mouth, and handle-like arms, one bent upwards, one bent downwards. 'Haniwa' literal translates to 'clay rings'. =====Appearances===== Pictures to come! * [[game:animal_crossing_series|Animal Crossing series]], as Gyroids * Armadillo * Big Bang Age * Big Bang Beat: 1st Impression * BlazBlue * Breath of Fire III * Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (Graphic in ROM, but unused in game) * Darkstalkers 3 * Doraemon Nobita No Dorabian Nights * Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies * Dynamite Headdy * The Final Fantasy Legend * Goemon's Great Adventure * Hany in the Sky * Hany on the Road * Kaizo Chojin Schbibinman Zero * Kirby series * La Pucelle: Tactics * The Legend of the Mystical Ninja * Linkage * Marble Cooking * Mysterious Dungeon 2: Shiren the Wanderer * Ninja Taro * Okami * Pikmin 2 * Pocket Fighter * Quiz Chikyu Bouei Gun * Rance: Search For Hikari * SaGa 2 * Sengoku Rance * Snow Bros. 2 * Super Bomberman 4 * Tamagotchi Genjitchi * Tetris Plus 2 * Totsugeki Kikan!
