Character

Max Lobo

Max Lobo is a major supporting character, as well as a journalist in Banana Fish. Max has short, light brown hair, and thin eyebrows above his blue eyes. He usually wears casual attire not limited to a greenish-blue jacket over an unbuttoned white shirt with a red collar. A kind-hearted, brave, and oftentimes funny man, Max is caring and affectionate, and would do anything for his friends, family, and those he is loyal to. He has combat experience as this side can show in certain situations. He served in the United States army alongside his friend Griffin, and was in part of the NYPD for a while. He came to work as a reporter. Being a former soldier from the Vietnam war (Iraq in the anime), Max Lobo has expertise in both hand to hand combat and marksmanship, and is physically adept in all of these despite years of being off any battle. His fighting ability is more than proven when he was able to confront Ash in a fistfight that ended in a stalemate, and is seen repeatedly when Ash is forced to fight hostiles. His quick-thinking has saved him and Ash on multiple occasions, making Max one of Ash's greatest allies.
