60-year-old Minoru Kuramochi a.k.a the Octopus (as he usually brings an octopus with him every time), who is the owner of the Edokko Izakaya octopus bar in Tokyo, is one of the oldest competitors. He has competed several times, but never made it very far into the first stage (the furthest he has gone was the Pole Maze in the 19th competition). Despite this, he seems to be a fan favorite. In the 20th Competition's preview special, he welcomed the G4 American Ninja Challengers to his bar, served them his special octopus meal, and showed off to them his physical skills. Kuramochi also competed on Viking where he made it as far as the Math Parley in the 1st Marine Stage. He also made an appearance on Family Viking, making it into the 2nd Adventure Stage making him the oldest person to do so.
