In Japan, Biff is known as コブッター ('kobutta'), which is romanized as Cobutter. Given his lumpy, yellow appearance and his association with fighting, his name can be explained as a portmanteau of 瘤 ('kobu', meaning "lump"), ぶっ叩く ('buttataku', meaning "to beat vigorously"), and バター ('bataa', meaning "butter").
