His attire consists a formal business suit which includes a white shirt, purple tie, black pants and black shoes which are accommodated by his large pink-polka dotted coat adorned with yellow cuffs and shoulder frills. Miniscule fangs protrude from his bottom lip and two black spikes of hair that resemble horns protrude from the top of his skull.

Personality

Despite his intimidating appearance, Ohban is a calm and polite individual who is very professional and addresses everyone with respectfully. His professionalism often tends to contrasts with Love's unprofessional behavior, such as her unwillingness to release Zebra due to her crush which he thought was most troublesome.

Ohban was the one who welcomed Toriko and Komatsu upon their arrival to Honey Prison and escorted them through the prison's many areas while also sharing info to the curious Komatsu. Once they arrived at Warden Love's office to discuss Zebra's release, Ohban disappointingly told them about Love's obsessive crush on Zebra being the main reason for his difficult release, eventually however Love takes them to Zebra's cell much to her disappointment and has Ohban release him after Zebra finished off his execution beasts.

A year and a half later, he was one of the many people who went to the World Kitchen to say their goodbyes to the Four Heavenly Kings and Komatsu before they set off to Gourmet World.

Ohban made an appearance in the anime's TinaPan segment, where he is shown to be quite friendly and effeminate, in stark contrast to his portrayal in the manga, to the point where he enjoyed cross-dressing as Marylin Monroe for his photo shoot on TinaPan more than his other costumes.
