And personally, I believe bomber Elite to be male (albeit very bishounen-y), but I guess your new avatar represents Bomberman's view on the matter fairly accurately
I've never thought about it that way. That's a rather interesting concept to play around with. And I have no clue what his/her original voice was in the Japanese game. Although I'd like to believe that Bomber Elite is a female just because there is a lack of females in Bomberman games in general. I wonder if there are any screenshots of her/him...
