Bones is a lieutenant in Ash's Gang assigned to protect Eiji in Banana Fish.
Appearance
Bones has long, messy pink hair that is tied into a braid as well as wearing gray suspenders with one strap hanging. This covers a pink undershirt with a green square motive. He wears green tennis shoes as well. He has many broken or missing teeth that he claims resulted from being punched by Ash when trying to wake him up.
His appearance in the manga is identical to that of the anime with the exception that his hair is slightly longer, he keeps both overall straps hooked, and he doesn't wear a shirt underneath.

He joins Shorter in the rescue attempt of Ash when he is lured into a trap by Arthur by pursuing Marvin.
