Bun-Bun Man

ブンブンマン

Supporting One Punch Man

Bun-Bun Man is a low-ranked C-Class hero — a young, muscular man with an afro, dressed in a white skin-tight shirt bearing the kanji for "Fist," black pants, and kung-fu shoes. He fights purely with his hands, relying on his signature technique, Bun-Bun Rush, a rapid flurry of punches.

Despite his low rank and obvious fear, he's shown genuine courage when it counted: he stood up to and openly challenged the Deep Sea King to protect the people sheltering around him, fully aware of how outmatched he was, rather than staying quiet and safe.

Climbed to Class B, Rank 42 during the era of rising monster frequency leading up to Garou’s emergence — a solid, upper-half standing within his class.

His name, "Bun-Bun," is Japanese onomatopoeia for a buzzing/humming sound, often tied to rapid movement or a bee’s buzz. Primarily serves in the story as one more data point for how dangerous Garou had become.
