Anybody know about whether Toru was or wasn't influenced by the pizza? Man, I gotta get that book--I've seen it referenced quite a bit elsewhere, too.
I forget where I read it, but I think it is an apocryphal story, yeah. It's probably worth mentioning just in the context of the legend of Pac-Man itself (like Pac-Man Fever) with the caveat that its validity is dubious at best. I think the "Puckman" "F-uckman" story is accurate though from what I remember, and looking at the original Pac-Man art with Mr. Man's rather phallic nose makes me think it was a good decision!
