==In the games==
===Medarot 2===
[[File:Iwanoi md2 battle sprite gbc.JPG|thumb|100px|left|Iwanoi's battle view sprite in the original Medarot 2.]]
Iwanoi appears early in [[Medarot 2]], having won the school's annual Robattle contest with his fellow Screws. When [[Ikki Tenryou|Ikki]] challenges The Screws and defeats [[Kagamiyama]], he is the next to go up against him but is also beaten. He is defeated and runs away when Ikki's medarot unleashes the [[Medaforce]]. 

[[Kouji Karakuchi|Kouji]] comes to the school to look for the individual who has been "tickling" girls with a Medarot, he mistakes the Screws as the perpetrators and challenges them to a Robattle. He easily defeats their Medarots and  Kagamiyam runs away with his fellow Screws, hiding in a class on the second floor.

After Ikki clears up the misunderstanding, Iwanoi steps up on the tribune in the school's playground and makes a speech about the rumours that a ghost medarot has been stealing parts in [[Mt. Odoro]]. He fails to get the crowd's attention, prompting Kikuhime to step up and declare The Screws will go to Mt. Odoro and claim any medarot parts they find as theirs. On the 2nd floor of [[Mt. Odoro's Marsh]], he is found doing maintenance on his medarot in a narrow path leading to [[Kikuhime]]. When Ikki speaks to him, he is surprised and challenge him to a Robattle with his main medarot and a [[Mantaprey]].

In the tournament on [[Medarot Island]], he is is Ikki's fourth opponent in the Block B heats, using Bluesdog/Cyandog and two Mantapreys.

In the original [[Medarot 2]], he uses [[Bluesdog]], while [[Medarot 2 Core]] has [[Cyandog]] as his main medarot to match the anime. 


===Medarot 3===

In Chapter 1 of [[Medarot 3]], Iwanoi and [[The Screws]] are bothering [[Arika Amazake|Arika]]. When Ikki appears to provide her some back-up, Kagamiyama's medarot runs away and Iwanoi is forced to pick up the slack, challenging Ikki with [[Purple Collar]] in the first Robattle of the game. 

When the [[RoboRobo Gang]] make their presence known at the school, Iwanoi deduces that they could not have been responsible for the magnetic storm that wiped every [[Medarotch]]'s data and goes to his house to investigate. After [[Arika]] and Ikki captures a Roborobo, Arika decides to go to Iwanoi's house and executes her plan to get the Roborobo to reveal the gang's plan by submitting him to tickle torture, to Iwanoi's confusion. When the Roborobo explains they have been using the [[Mini-Mini Machine]] to make themselves small and cause trouble all over town, Iwanoi says this does not explain the medarotch malfunction and asks them to go away. 

After winning the Medalympics heat at school, [[Kikuhime]] asks Ikki and Arika to check up on Iwanoi as he's locked himself into his house all day trying to find an explanation for the Medarotch malfunction. Once they enter his house, Iwanoi's computer program gets deleted and he is knocked out by [[Electra]] when she emerges from his computer. When Electra is defeated, Iwanoi wakes up and does not believe Ikki's explanation for what happened. 

In Chapter 2, he and The Screws challenge Ikki to a Robattle with [[Noctocat]], Rickturtle and [[Purple Collar]] once he steps out of the Medamall, as a distraction to steal his badge to the academy. Once in the academy, he steals a badge from one of the students and hides in a room (thirds vertical door to the right) on the first floor. Once Ikki finds him, he initiates a Robattle using Purple Collar and [[Danin]], but is defeated and gives back the badge. He regroups with the other Screws and challenge Ikki to another Robattle with The Screw's three main medarots. 


===[[Medarot Brave]]===

Iwanoi appears early in the game, mugging a kid in the Artic biome with the other Screws. When Ikki comes in, Kikuhime orders Iwanoi to fight him for the parts and Iwanoi goes into one of the attraction challenging Ikki for a direct Robattle with Bluesdog. Iwanoi loses and apologize to Kikuhime for his failure, but his inability to not call her "Boss" frustates her to the point of punching him.

==In the anime==
===Medarot===

Iwanoi is a recurring character in the original [[Medarot (anime)|Medarot]] anime, portrayed as a member of [[The Screws]] and assisting [[Kikuhime]] in her antics. He is the single-worst Medarotter in Japan due to his Cyandog being mismatched with his [[Monkey]] medal and gets kicked out of The Screws on two ocassions due to his poor Robattling record. Unlike the games, he is not shown to have any strong aptitude in hacking. 

===Medarot Damashii===

He appears in a similar capacity in the sequel [[Medarot Damashii]], often taking part in Kikuhime's schemes to gain favor with [[Kokuryuu Kamizake]]. Compared to the first series, his incompetence as a Medarotter is downplayed.

==In the mangas==
===Fox Kids Annual 2004===
[[File:Tankar fox kids annual.JPG|thumb]]

Iwanoi and The Screws steal the medal of [[Sugar Princess]]. Iwanoi and his friends taunt Ikki when he tries to investigate who is responsible for the theft, and when he says he's in a hurry for class, Iwanoi shoves him to the ground, which makes Ikki realize the tracks he see on the ground belong to their new Medarot [[Tankar]] and that The Screws are the thieves. When [[Metabee (character)|Metabee]] easily destroys Tankar, Iwanoi runs away.
