He may appear gruff on the exterior, but often lets down his guard to joke or relax. Jet is trustworthy and remains loyal to his friends, even if they are self-serving at his expense. As captain of the Bebop, he is very fond of his ship and greatly worries about the damage it could receive in firefights. Jet has a great passion for bonsai and cooking (although his dishes are harshly criticized by his companions), adores jazz and blues music (Bebop, the given name of his starship, is a type of jazz), particularly the songs of Charlie Parker, and also highly appreciates the works of Goethe. For some of the attitudes he takes, he could be considered a control freak, but it is not intentional, and all the other characters recognize his choices as the most right. Undoubtedly the most reliable member of the crew, Jet proves to be very apprehensive, proud, and capable of great fidelity. He seems to take this as an offence, preferring that others think of him as young.Īlthough he may look gruff and sometimes has a rude attitude, Jet is basically a good and thoughtful man who, while hiding his feelings, has a great affection for his own companions and thinks of them the same way as a family. The scar on his face may imply that he has been in some fights as a cop and bounty hunter.Īs the oldest member of the Bebop crew (biologically speaking, though Faye Valentine is older chronologically), Jet is often thought of as a father figure. He wears a flight suit most of the time, but has been known to dress up for trips to a nightclub or casino. The metallic piece under his right eye has no known purpose, but it is not likely a cosmetic choice. His original limb was lost when he was ambushed by a syndicate assassin and his crooked cop partner. His left arm is a synthetic, robotic limb that seems to heighten his strength. His sideburns continue down his cheeks to form a beard, giving him a slight resemblance to Daisuke Jigen just like Spike's tall, lanky body gives him a slight resemblance to Lupin III and Vicious' wild, untamed hair and love for wielding the Katana resembles Goemon Ishikawa. He is balding and only the sides and back of his head have hair.

Jet possesses a tall, broad and muscular appearance.
