Zenji Banba

Banba has a gentle and laid-back personality, usually not caring for his appearance or the cleanliness of his residence, much to Lin's annoyance. He is usually patient and understanding in most scenarios, but when it comes to baseball he can be overbearing, especially to the novice of their team, Xianming Lin.

Banba is described as a tall, lean man usually donning a white sweater with old jeans. The novels describe him as having messy, unkempt, black hair and brown eyes however, illustrations show him with dark brown hair. Despite his noted height, he is usually hunched over.
