Luigi (/luˈiːdʒi/ ; Japanese: ルイージ, romanized: Ruīji) is a character created by Japanese video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto. Part of Nintendo's Mario franchise, he is a kind-hearted, cowardly Italian plumber, and Mario’s slightly younger twin brother and partner of Mario. Like his brother, Luigi's distinctive characteristics include his large nose and mustache, overalls, hat (green, in his case), and high-pitched, exaggerated Italian accent.
