Story[]
Fire Pro Wrestling World[]

He is the son of legendary wrestler Billy The South from Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special, and is the friendly rival of Sumio "Blade" Saeba in a tag-team called The Vanishing. He faced Sumio in the WWWWW Heavyweight Championship, defeating him to claim the champion title which he now holds.
Travis Strikes Back[]
No More Heroes III[]
Notorious appears during Travis' confrontation with Sniping Lee. He defeats Lee with a shot from his Akashic Cannon before Lee is able to shoot Travis. He and Travis then become acquainted with one another, with Travis expressing his excitement over meeting the WWWWW Heavyweight Champion.
During Travis's battle with the Mass-Produced Destroymen, Notorious appears from the sky, blasting the remaining Destroymen and shooting a hole into the Destroymen Factory. Once Travis defeats Destroyman True Face, he and Notorious go on a Rocky-esque montage on the beach where Notorious describes how he had been observing Destroyman for some time, describing him as a terrorist who took money from militaries in order to mass produce an army of Destroymen and take over the globe. He thanks Travis for the help, and the two celebrate by the ocean.
Notorious returns at the end of the game, shooting FU with his Akashic Cannon to help Travis.
