History

Anime Dimmy first makes his appearance in episode 14, when he has possessed Jibanyan. Keita and Whisper notice the change in Jibanyan's behavior, but don't realize he's possessed. Later, they have trouble with Sharekofujin, who has possessed his mother. While his mother is on her way to school, Whisper then reveals that Dimmy was their best chance of defeating Sharekofujin and saving Keita from humilitation. It was then that they realize that Jibanyan was possessed by Dimmy, so Keita calls Jibanyan to get Dimmy. Afterwords, Dimmy possesses Keita before revealing himself to Whisper. Whisper practically begs him for help, but Dimmy refuses. Just as his mother reaches the school, Whisper is forced to take drastic measures. He pushes Dimmy (who doesn't react at all) into Sharekofujin, making her "ghostly" and defeating her. Dimmy then decides to become friends with Keita and gives him his medal.

Origin

Dimmy's appearance is based on that of a ninja. Additionally, both his powers and his thin, flat frame emerging from a shadow could be a play on the expression kage ga usui (literally "having a thin shadow"), which means "barely standing out, fading in the background". Name Origin

• "Dimmy" is a portmanteau of the words dim (plain or boring), and the male name Jimmy (which also happens to be his Japanese name.).
• "Jimmy" is both a common Western name and a homophone with jimi, meaning "ordinary, unremarkable".
