Hunter serves as a school bully and rival to Joe Kirifuda in the 2017 anime series. Arrogant and loud, his imposing physical stature exceeds most characters, demonstrated when he lifts Joe effortlessly by his clothes with one hand. He operates alongside Shacho and Fulcon Purito.

In a specific academic rivalry plot, Hunter and his group enlisted numerous tutors to surpass Joe, leading to extreme study fatigue that left Hunter exhausted at school. Despite this drowsy state, he challenged Joe to a duel, deploying Hyper Mustin to pressure Joe's field. Joe's Bainarado shield card ultimately secured Hunter's defeat.

Post-duel exhaustion caused Hunter to sleep through an entire test, mirroring Joe's result. Both scored zero, resulting in parental punishment. Hunter duels with a Nature Civilization deck centered on Gransect creatures.
