Year 2071.Humanity has been driven away from
earth and enhabited other planets.With new planets
come new rules and with new rules comes new outlaws:
also known as cowboy bebops.
Meet Spike and Jet,a drifter and an ex-cyborg cop who started a bounty hunting opperation searching the galaxy for the outlaws and end up meeting a few friends along the way; a lab dog named ein who is really smart, a female hacker name edward who people often mistake for a boy, and the beautiful card playin woman named faye valentine.
MACHINES
ED:She is a genius hacker who once went by the
name Radical Edward. Her full name is Edward Wong
Hau Pepelu Tivrusky. She was born on Earth, on 1st
January, and claims to be 13 years old. Her blood
type is AB, and she is often mistaken for a boy.
She uses a custom computer that she built herself,
which she calls Tomato. She heard about Spike and
company on the Internet, and invited herself to join
the crew of the Bebop. She has a feral quality that
shows in her gangling walk and flapping arms –
perhaps this is why she gets on so well with Ein.

EIN:Ein looks like a normal male Welsh corgi, and
joined the Bebop crew before Faye and Ed. He is
really a data-dog, developed by a research
organisation. To the right buyer, a dog of Ein’s
abilities would command an astronomical price.
Between them – a dog with human intelligence and
a girl with animal instinct – they make a perfect
team.
FAY VALENTINE:former fugitive from bounty-hunters,
Faye has now switched sides. Her apparent age is
23, though she is actually in her seventies. Her
birthday is 14th August, and her blood type is B.
Her favorite space craft is the Redtail. Her
preferred gun is a Glock 30. She is in heavy debt,
thanks to compulsive gambling and the prohibitive
medical bills from Cold Sleep. Perhaps because of
this, her obsession with money is greater than
either Spike’s or Jet’s. When she first encountered
Spike and Jet, she claimed to be a Romany, though
this was patently untrue. In fact, she lost her
memory in Cold Sleep, and remembers nothing of
her life before she was frozen. Her missing past
troubles her almost as much as its expensive
consequences – her amnesia only aggravates a
temper that is already short. Her quest to
discover who she really is; one of the central
themes of the series.(voice of hayashibara megumi)
JET BLACK:Jet Black is a bounty hunter from the
Jovian satellite Ganymede. He was born on 3rd
December and is 36 years old. His blood type is
A. His favorite space ship is the converted tug
Hammer Head. His preferred gun is Walther P99. He
worked as a police officer at ISSP (Inter Solar
System Police) on Ganymede, where he gained the
nickname “Black Dog.” He left the force in the
aftermath of an almost-fatal accident. His
injuries were so severe that he required cybernetic
enhancement, including an artificial arm (a strange
choice for 2071, since medical techniques could
easily grow him an organic replacement). Now he
works as a bounty hunter, drawing on the network
of contacts he first established in the ISSP. His
hobbies include bonsai, space horse-races, reading
and cookery: his specialty is Fried Beef and Green
Peppers… just without the beef. He created the
Bebop by redecorating a second-hand trawler. If
he marries, he would make a great househusband,
but he never seems to have much luck with women.
any want a go at it.(voice of ishizuka unshou)
SPIKE SPIEGAL:Spike is a bounty hunter from Mars.
He was born on 26th June and is 27 years old. His
blood type is O. His favorite ship is his speedster,
the Swordfish II. His preferred gun is a Jericho
941. He is devotee of Bruce Lee, and a master of
Jeet Kune Do. In his youth, he was heavily involved
with the Red Dragon crime syndicate, until three
years ago, when he met with a serious “accident”
under suspicious circumstances. Now he lives aboard
the Bebop with Jet, and the two are permanently
low on funds. He rarely talks about his past, but
seems to have plenty of experience at martial arts
and gunfights. He has the ability to see risks
ahead, but this doesn’t stop him putting himself
in danger: he often faces unnecessary hazards.
It would seem that his recklessness comes not from
overconfidence in his abilities, but from a lapsed
sense of self-preservation. He lacks fear because
he has nothing left to lose.(voice of yamadera kouichi)
