Soâno

Soâno (ハイドロ, Soano) is a character introduced in Kuru Kuru Rotation Robo. He is an hydrobione research Nendoroid initially created by Dr. Galileo to explore other planets in the universe that might have liquid water. However, Soano was reprogrammed to help Dr. Galileo's plan for revenge.

He appears as a major antagonist in the intermediate point of the game until Gyro beats him, then Soâno becomes a playable character.

Etymology
Soano means "whirlpool, vortex" in Chinese. It is usually pronounced as "soân-o, 漩渦". Soano is a water-based Nendoroid that has the ability to create whirlpools and waterspouts.

Abilities
Soano is a water-type Nendoroid, as you can infer by his name. Soano can rush forward in a torrent of raging water, create violent whirlpools to suck his enemies in, or launch jets of high-pressure vortexs from the ground. Soano is also able to move or run on water, and can even create water shurikens to attack with.

Story
Soano was one of the four Nendoroids created by Dr. Galileo before the events of Kuru Kuru Rotation Robo. He was set to be activated once the evil scientist eventually got arrested. After being activated, Hydro spread the Galileo Virus to the coastal city, infecting all of the aquatic Mechanoids and attacked the city.

Mechanics
Hydro Turbine (ジャイロスコープのセンサー): Soano has a turbine-like engine in his body that allows him to create a vacuum by spinning rapidly in or near a body of water, which can allow Soano to create a raging whirlpool, or a waterspout.

Auto-Gravitational System (自動かいふく): Soano has an auto-gravitational system in his body that exerts water that is pulled in through gravity, allowing him to attack with water shurikens.
