Cowboy Bebop Characters

The following is a list of major and minor characters, with biographical information, from the anime and manga series Cowboy Bebop, directed by Shinichirō Watanabe and written by Keiko Nobumoto. The series' 26 episodes are often character driven; current events are often the consequence of life changing occurrences shown in flashbacks.

Cowboys is the series' name for the bounty hunters who pursue wanted criminals across the breadth of the solar system. The bounty hunters, led by the martial artist and Mars native Spike Spiegel, travel in a converted fishing trawler, the spaceship Bebop, owned and maintained by the former policeman from Ganymede Jet Black.

The intelligent Corgi Ein and hustler Faye Valentine join the crew early in the series; the eccentric Edward is encountered and comes aboard in a later episode.

Famous quotes containing the words cowboy and/or characters:

    The lariat snaps; the cowboy rolls
    His pack, and mounts and rides away.
    Back to the land the cowboy goes.
    William Jay Smith (b. 1918)

    The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true to life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
