Laughing Bull

Laughing Bull is a Native American shaman who lives on Mars. He is known for his mystical insights and serves as a spiritual guide, often providing cryptic advice and predictions. He typically wears traditional Native American attire, including feathered headdresses and ceremonial garments. He offers philosophical guidance to the protagonists, particularly Spike Spiegel, and his enigmatic nature adds a layer of mysticism to the series' narrative. One notable scene includes him predicting the arrival of a 'wooden ship,' which metaphorically refers to Spike's spaceship, the Bebop. Laughing Bull is kind-hearted, caring, and stern. Belonging to the Zuni tribe, he was adopted by the community after losing his family in a youth. He enjoys crafting ceremonial masks and collecting rare Martian crystals and has vowed to protect Mars' sacred sites from colonization.
