If you know Splatoon 3<\/a>, then you know Big Man. The loveable Manta Ray is one of the first faces that you see when you boot up the game and his wobbly little dance moves immediately captured our hearts when Deep Cut first burst onto the scene. But what if we have been referring to this icon by nothing but a nickname for all of these months? What would his ‘proper’ name even be?<\/p>\n

Well, as it turns out, it might just be Ian. Yep. Ian<\/em>…<\/p>\n

That is, at least, what some are deducing from the latest Squid Sisters’ song, ‘Liquid Sunshine’, which features a mysterious artist called ‘Ian BGM’. Shared via @NintendoUK<\/a> on Twitter, the mystery “Splatsville Songster” certainly sounds like it could<\/em> be Big Man, but with actual Inkling lyrics in all of his lines, are we to assume that the Splatcast host had a greater vocabulary that “Ay!” this whole time?<\/p>\n
