> } Noodle

This is Noodle's biography from Phase 1 that could be found on the original Kong website as well as extra tidbits from interviews and other media. Not all of this is canon anymore, and any retconned information will be found at the bottom of the page under the "Retconned" section.



Original Bio, Kong Studios Website:

Born: Osaka
Age: 10
Influences: Haiku poetry, Loa Zi, Richie Sambora

Noodle arrived in a crate. She's a kick ass riffmeister, the Asian axe princess. Doesn't speak more than a word of English, and that word is "Noodle."

Martial Arts expert, little ice maiden, she looks at the world through unfazed eyes.

Usually found with Russel. Special zen bond with 2D. Tickled by Murdoc's desperation.

Irrepressible. Inscrutable. Irresistable.

Likes: Power Puff Girls, Tomagatchi pets, Pokemon, Yo-yo's, her new radio headphone hat, rice and noodles.

Updated Bio, Tomorrow Comes Today rerelease, 2002:

Always the most centred of the band, Noodle takes Gorillaz' success in her stride. For her, the world is the same big playground it always was, buying gadgets from around the globe and trading guitar licks with some of her biggest influences. Full of wise words and light actions she creates an atmosphere of childlike wonder in every new situation. Her joy is the moment but remember, "it is not wise to despise the snake for having no horns, for who is to say that it will not become a dragon?" With her burgeoning taste in lipstick, boob tubes, Justin Timberlake and Shaggy, she may well start breathing fire before our very eyes!

Future projects: "I'm happy if band is big or small, if band make good music at right time that is where we should be."

New best friends: Brian May and Samurai Jack.

- views the rest of the band as her big brothers
- has a crush on Blur's Graham Coxon
- the song she likes the best off of the Gorillaz album is New Genious


During Phase 1, Noodle mentioned in the New York Times interview that she was sent to "Zen guitar monastery" at age three by her family because it was a long standing tradition going back to her great great great great grandfather. This was retconned in Phase 2 when her backstory was altered to her coming from a supersoldier program and never knowing her family.

Noodle's birth year in phase 1 is given as 1991. This has since been changed to 1990.
