Gallery[]

Lionbuta in the digitally colored chapters.

Personality[]

Not much of its personality is known, but it appears to be friendly as it is able to form a close bond with Gaimon.

History[]

Syrup Village Arc[]

Lionbuta was the first animal Luffy and Nami encountered on the Island of Rare Animals.^[1] He was seen again with a group of animals when Gaimon waved goodbye to the departing Straw Hats.^[4]

Buggy's Crew Adventure Chronicles[]

Lionbuta, Cocox, and Usagihebi were there to witness Buggy's crash-landing on the Island of Rare Animals and the subsequent battle between him and Gaimon.^[5]They later danced and partied along with Buggy. He then witnesses Buggy's departure along with Gaimon and other animals.

From the Decks of the World[]

Lionbuta was seen watching happily as the new inhabitant of the island, the barrel-woman Sarfunkel, fed Gaimon some food.^[6]

Trivia[]

Its name is a portmanteau between the words lion and buta (豚, Japanese for pig). This also corresponds to its appearance as a pig with a lion's mane.
