-In the anime, he is the father of [[May (anime)|May]] and [[Max]], and the husband of Caroline.
-Very early in his Hoenn journey, [[Ash Ketchum]] arrived with May in [[Petalburg City]] in the hope of getting his first gym battle. Ash found the Petalburg Gym and met Max. May stopped him and allowed Ash to meet her parents, Caroline and Norman. Norman turned out be to the real Petalburg City [[Gym Leader]]. Norman used his Pokémon, a Vigoroth, to save May's [[Torchic]] from [[Team Rocket]].
-Norman is a good friend of [[Professor Birch]] and was most likely to have been the person to send May to [[Littleroot Town]] to get her first Pokémon. As May did not initially like Pokémon, this seems to have created some distance between the two. Before Ash knew that Norman was May's father, he commented that it sounded like she knew the Petalburg Gym Leader pretty well, to which she replied, "No, I just wish I did" and becomes subdued.
-The day after that, in Love, Petalburg Style, May and Max tried to figure out why Norman and [[Caroline]] are getting all worked up as Ash tries to save Norman's three Pokémon from Team Rocket. It all turned out that Norman had Nurse Joy set up a special firework display to make fireworks in a form of a [[Beautifly]] as a wedding anniversary gift.
