Homura Banto

番刀 炎

Homura Banto

The first ever mascot that resulted from a bug in a classic console baseball game.
Though corrected for the US release, Japan's Bases Loaded is famous even now for a bug which allowed home runs to be hit with a bunt, hence Homura's name.
Homura, is a hot-headed guy with an intent dislike for Clarice and calm discord. He much prefers action to thought, hence him joining the fray armed only with a baseball bat!
His character design is courtesy of none other than the legendary Kenichi Sonoda! (Suchie Pai, Riding Bean, Gunsmith Cats).
