'''Laki''' is a character in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He is an 18-year old [[Lakitu]] who appears by the train station in [[Rogueport]]. Laki is called a train enthusiast, but is more of a train obsessionist. All he does is watch the [[Excess Express|trains]] all day, and hopes to one day get to ride the Excess Express (although he lacked the money to do so all throughout ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''). His appearance is noticeably different from most other Lakitus; his hair is more curly than that of the average Lakitu, his eyes are always in an angry position, and his [[Lakitu's Cloud|cloud]] wears sunglasses. However, a separate Lakitu with this same appearance can be found actually riding the Excess Express occasionally, and two Lakitus from [[Glitzville]] also look identical to him.

The Excess Express staff apparently allowed Laki to get away with his crime with just a warning, although the story ended with an additional "...this time".

*Laki was given a reference in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where he left graffiti stating that he loves both [[Koopla]] and [[Buzzo]] in [[Merlee's Mansion]]'s men's restroom. It is unknown how he managed to get to [[Gloam Valley]] (which exists in a separate dimension than that of Rogueport) to do so, and it is possible that the programmers intended for this Laki to be a different one than the one seen in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.

—Laki, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Laki is a character in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He is an 18-year old Lakitu who appears by the train station in Rogueport. Laki is called a train enthusiast, but is more of a train obsessionist. All he does is watch the trains all day, and hopes to one day get to ride the Excess Express (although he lacked the money to do so all throughout Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door). His appearance is noticeably different from most other Lakitus; his hair is more curly than that of the average Lakitu, his eyes are always in an angry position, and his cloud wears sunglasses. However, a separate Lakitu with this same appearance can be found actually riding the Excess Express occasionally, and two Lakitus from Glitzville also look identical to him.

Laki is mentioned in one of the RDM Issues in the game, where he is said to have been taken into custody after making the Excess Express late for the first time in ten years by taking pictures of it in an area where non-workers were not allowed to enter. The Excess Express staff apparently allowed Laki to get away with his crime with just a warning, although the story ended with an additional "...this time". This issue of RDM is also notable for stating that Laki is eighteen years old, in accordance with standard newspaper practice for criminals.
