Game: Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! (Nintendo DS May 19, 2005)
Dr. Kawashima is a character from the popular series Brain Age. In the Brain Age series, you are assigned in different games by the professor to finish it as quick as possible to stimulate your brain. You might be wondering, how in the world can this character be eligible for Smash? Well, Brain Age is a very popular series, with the first game selling over 19.00 million copies, even winning awards for innovation and quality, similar to the amount of success Animal Crossing and Wii Fit had. If Sakurai wanted characters from popular casual series, Dr. Kawashima is the answer. The uniqueness of a floating teacher head is beyond different from the rest of the cast, considering that he picked Wii Fit Trainer and Villager because of uniqueness, this easily applies to Dr. Kawashima. Also before you say it, Dr. Kawashima is the fictional adaptation of the real life professor, I consider that not much of an issue. With that said, I'll post a moveset:
Arguments:
1. He did not originate from a videogame!
Sakurai may have changed his mind, probably on many things lately such as the Villager being too peaceful.
He could very well change his mind and let Dr. Kawashima bypass the rule because of his importance to Nintendo.
2. He has too much competition against other characters!
He does not have to listen to the fans popular requests, as he could possibly add Kawashima because of his great moveset potential. (In a similar situation to why Wii Fit Trainer and Villager were added)
3. He's from a casual franchise!
Just because he is from a casual franchise, does not mean it will stop Kawashima's inclusion. That's a pretty poor excuse, as Wii Fit Trainer and Villager are from casual franchises.
4. He has no moveset potential!
He does have potential if you try hard enough. Easily his attacks can be derived from education and some of the activities in the Brain Age Games.
5. He's difficult to program!
Dr. Kawashima is literally only a head with floating heads, I think that would be easier to make than characters with bodies don't you think?

Dr. Kawashima starts as a slow but fast attacker. As you keep attacking your opponents (about 5 times to get 5 EXP points), you gain your level goes up one, just like in the Concentration Training (In which you go up a level depending on the amount of correct answers you get). The maximum level is 5, which turns him into Devilish Kawashima. In which Kawashima is x1.5 better on all stats. Although if you get hit enough times, you go down a level, lowering your overall stats. Although additional things like dodging at the right time allows you to gain an EXP point. Being KOed will automatically lower his stats to level 1. You can also gain EXP through a special move called Concentrate. Dr. Kawashima is a heavy character, it kinda figures for his big head. He is relatively slow in speed, but surprisingly powerful. Mastering Kawashima requires the player to not get hit, in order to gain EXP points for better stats.
