Non-Non, also known as Kuma, is the pet bear of the Black Belt Demon. He is a 'secret character' who is not playable in all versions of the game, and always requires the Black Belt Demon to be unlocked first. In the original Playstation game, he is not playable in the English and Japanese version. However, Non-Non finally becomes playable in the second game. In Rumble Roses XX, he is unlocked in Exhibition Mode only. To play him in this mode, its necessary to highlight the Black Belt Demon character, then enter a code which activates him instead of her (on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, hold down the left-trigger, then push the A button).
Background[]
Not much is known about Non-Non, since he first appeared in the second game. When the Black Belt Demon makes her entrance, he is seen in the middle of the walkway towards the ring, ready to pounce. But the Black Belt Demon stares at the bear, unfazed by his prescience. Non-Non stands on his hind legs and attacks the Black Belt Demon. However, she keeps the bear under control by confusing it with her parasol. Non-Non knocks the parasol off of her hand, but Black Belt Demon draws in close and delivers a powerful hip toss that sends the bear flying into the ring.

Attributes[]
Pros[]
- Access to bear hugs in his normal moveset and a stronger version via his killer move
- Bear hug performs decent damage and humiliation to a Rose caught until she can escape
- Hurtbox doesn't match his model fully allowing for some mind games, though mostly a gimmick.
- Grapples are straightforward and leave Non-Non up faster than his opponents.
- Despite his downfalls he still builds humiliation faster than Reiko (HAH).
Cons[]
- Downright pitiful stats
- Many of his moves are bear hugs, limiting his offense.
- Despite his killer move being a bear hug also his horrible stats make him unlikely to win by squeezing his opponent.
- Even Sebastian has better in ring merits.
- While his bear hugs humiliate his opponents his humiliation game is serviceable at best.
- Bad at reversing.
In Game[]
Non-Non displaying his grizzly strength
Despite being a hidden character, Non-Non's moveset is limited. He is also the slowest character in the game, slower even than Noble Rose. His ratings in submissions, reversals, aerial maneuvers, and foul player are minimal. But with that being said, Non-Non excels in striking and throwing. So if players choose to play as Non-Non, it is recommended for them to primarily focus on beating down their opponent with hard hits and powerful throws, rather than building for submissions. That's also because Non-Non's ability to build on his opponent's H-Gauge is minimal too.
