Travis Touchdown (Japanese: トラヴィス・タッチダウン, Hepburn: Toravisu Tacchidaun) is a fictional character and the main antihero of the video game franchise No More Heroes. 27 years old in the original game, he is both an otaku and a professional assassin, wielding a Beam Katana. He was created by Goichi Suda, and voiced by Kazuya Nakai in Japanese and Robin Atkin Downes in English.

He is named after the protagonist of the film Paris, Texas directed by Wim Wenders.[2] He lives a lifestyle that is often compared to those of average people because of his obsession with anime, professional wrestling,[3] pornography, and action figures; however, this lifestyle has also been called an "uber male fantasy." He has received mostly positive reception, with MSNBC describing his appearance as "richly detailed" and "flamboyantly designed". He has also been compared to other characters in fiction, such as Tyler Durden from Fight Club and The Bride from Kill Bill.
