Appearance

Lineart of Ganiko depicting her from different angles.

Ganiko closely resembles Celestia Noodlina, Terra Kneadalina, Prioria Sweetalina, Oceania Illumilina, Ghostia Taxilina and Konvoy Sagawa.

She wears a space helmet with two antennae over her head, and has two long crab arms ending in pincers. Her lower body is encased in a mechanical "dress" with lines connecting to form the rough shape of a face in the center, that sits upon a circle of stubby appendages.

Ganiko combines the appearances of two aliens originating from American science fiction cinema: the helmet of the Ro-Man from the 1953 film Robot Monster, and the Venusian Monster from the 1956 film It Conquered the World.

Biography

Yuhi Ohdo, Yuamu Ohdo and Yudias Velgear were looking for the receptionist of the Coruffium, to which Ganiko introduced herself. She asked Yuhi what kind of an alien he was, which he responded with being an Earthen alien. She told the group that anyone who wanted to Duel was welcome. She explained that winners in the Coruffium received Duel Power and many other items, then gave Yuhi a sign-up sheet. Once Yuhi signed the sheet, Ganiko told him to go to UFO #3 for his Duel. After Yuhi's Duel with Nomurandamas, she threw Nomura out of the Coruffium for fighting.

Ganiko was displeased when Yudias, the Ohdo twins, and several MIK agents barged into the arena, as it wasn't their turn to Duel, but soon learned that MIK Director General Ranran Nanahoshi intended to close the Coruffium. Upon hearing Manabu Sogetsu disagree with Ranran, Ganiko suggested they settle the matter with a Rush Duel, given they were in the Coruffium. After a poor opening performance by Ranran, who had little knowledge of Dueling, she made a comeback that was cheered on by the crowd, but was eventually defeated by Manabu, ensuring the Coruffium would remain open. When Yuna Goha was arguing with Yudias and the Ohdo twins outside the Coruffium, Ganiko dispelled the tension by recommending they Rush Duel over their conflict, while giving no indication she knew Yuna. After Yudias lost the Rush Duel and Yuna took his and the Ohdo twins' Duel Power, Ganiko had the three of them thrown out of the Coruffium due to their lack of Duel Power, ignoring Yudias' pleas to speak to Yuna.
