Spike Spiegel

Spike Spiegel is the main protagonist of the Japanese animated series Cowboy Bebop and the movie, as well as the manga adaptations. He is a bounty hunter or "cowboy" (as he's referred to on several occasions) on a spaceship called the Bebop and travels through the space with his crew consisting of his old friend, Jet Black, and recent members, Faye Valentine, Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV, and Ein.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Spike is one of the slickest and most down-to-earth characters in Anime.
 * 2) When he is not working, Spike is very laid back, sarcastic, and lively to the dismay of his crew mates.
 * 3) He is smooth, cool voice provided by talented voice-actor, Steve Blum.
 * 4) Spike has a good heart and, whether he admits it or not, is more than willing to help out others without expecting something in return, which is rather ironic considering his line of work.
 * 5) He has a slick design to match his personality.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Spike tends to be slothful, nonchalant, indifferent, and incredibly lazy.
