Who is "Holden"?

[Silversea]

Holden was one of the apparent new villagers coming in the Welcome Amiibo update, but I'm not seeing anyone mention or discuss him. Was this villager scrapped at the last minute or does he really exist?

I just looked him up actually

http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/Holden

He was part of a collaboration in Japan for Fueki which I think is a brand of cosmetics in Japan

Here's a link to the Villager himself: -Holden-

And here's a link to the furniture set you get in his RV: -Link-

He's exclusive in Japan.

Holden could not be moved from a japanese player's town?
Assuming we can visit japanese people.

I don't think he can move into a town at all, I heard you can only get his furniture.

Filly also. I seen some Japanese players had her (Filly) at their campground and her RV was sitting where the special NPCs would be at and not were the Sanrio characters and others you can invite into your town.

he's so cute i want him in my town ;~;

If he have a exclusive amiibo card then we have no chance of getting him.

I don't think he's meant to be moved into people's towns. I read something where someone said they hacked him in, and on April Fool's day when you're supposed to get his pic, they got like Hamphrey's pic instead or something.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I found some images of him just after posting my thread, so I was able to construct that wiki article for him. Hope it is of use although it is still missing some info.

Thanks for this link to the furniture set. I was trying to find the localized name for his shirt!

Does anyone know what his Japanese name is so I can research him further?

With some handy searching I've managed to find his Japanese name, which is のりぼう (noribou). I had to find the Japanese name for the company (Fueki フエキ) and then tie in a search with Welcome amiibo, which did the trick.
