He was created as part of a collaboration with Japanese gaming magazine Nintendo Dream. His name directly derives from Nintendo Dream, which is known as NinDori for short, though dori can also mean "bird". He later went on to become the magazine's mascot and became officially known as Nindori-kun. He can only move into town after scanning his e-Reader card, which was exclusively distributed by Nintendo Dream magazine.

Appearance
Nindori is an orange ostrich with a yellow beak and feet. He has black-tipped wings and tail feathers. His eyes are very large and black, with just a small portion of his sclera showing - because of this he is often mistaken to have hollow eyes, similar to a Gyroid's. He has four black squares on each cheek, and a few yellow hairs sticking out of the back of his head. Nindori initially wears the G Logo Shirt.

Personality
Nindori is a jock villager with an interest in fitness and sports, which he will mention frequently. He will get along with peppy villagers, but will not get along with lazy villagers due to their dislike of exercising.
