Noodle
Character from Gorillaz by Damon Albarn & Jamie Hewlett
The prodigious Japanese guitarist of Gorillaz — a child supersoldier who grew into the band's conscience, its most dangerous member, and arguably its soul.
Also known as: Noodle, Project Classified subject, The Guitarist
What They Know
- Was created/conditioned as part of a Japanese government supersoldier program; her musical ability was artificially instilled
- Arrived at Kong Studios as a child in a FedEx crate, knowing only one word of English: 'noodle'
- Is trained in several forms of combat and is considered the most physically dangerous member of the band by a wide margin
- Has died and been apparently resurrected at least once in band lore — her status at various points in the timeline is ambiguous
- The Cyborg Noodle used during the Plastic Beach phase was Murdoc's creation and not the real thing
- Has a deep spiritual connection to the world's mythology; she navigates spirit realms and alternate dimensions more naturally than the real world
- Her guitar playing is technically flawless and emotionally devastating in equal measure
- El Mañana — the windmill island sequence — remains one of the most traumatic chapters of her history
