Shiokara, known as Squidguts in English, is a high-ranking member of the RoboRobo Gang. In the games, he is characterized as a stern man with a dislike of children while the anime portrays him as naive and stupid.
His real name is Raizou Shioka (シオカ ライゾウ, Guido Gudalucci in the English anime dub).
In the games[edit]
Medarot 2[edit]
Shiokara first appears in the second chapter. He set a base of operation for the RoboRobos at Mt. Odoro, having convinced a "ghost" Medarot to steal parts, which they stored in a cave inside Mt. Odoro Marsh. Eventually Ikki stumbles upon the storage after exploring the marshes and fights an angry Shiokara. He uses Dashbutton as his leader and a Pururun Jelly in the Kabuto version, and two Abyss Greater in the Kuwagata version. After his defeat, he flees the scene and leaves behind the Spider Medal (Kabuto)/Phoenix Medal (Kuwagata).
Medarot 3[edit]
Shiokara makes his first appearance near the end of Chapter 1. Shiokara and the other senior RoboRobo executives escaped jail using the MiniMini Machine and he had one of the team competing at the school's tournament kidnapped and replaced by a trio of RoboRobos. After Ikki and friends win the tournamenet, they head inside the school to rescue the kidnapped children and find Shiokara who explains how he escaped and denies he is responsible for the theft of Medarot data, saying the identity of the perpetrator is a secret. Before Ikki can't do anything, he threatens to shrink the hostages with the MiniMini machine and stomp them. As such, Ikki and Arika lets him escape.
In Chapter 3, Shiokara and a team of RoboRobos infiltrate the underground complex of Earth Mall and hold hostages in the Geofront Scientific Laboratory in exchange for medals. Kouji stumbles upon them while looking for Ikki and a fight ensues. In this battle, Shiokara uses a team of three Passghouls.
In the anime[edit]
Shiokara plays a similar role than he does in the games, being one of the RoboRobo gang's executive. In one episode, he is briefly promoted to leader after one failure too many by Sarami.
