Description
Honkan, formally titled The Police Officer with the Connected Eyes, recurs across Fujio Akatsuka's universe. His design features a single connected eyeball, a central upturned nostril, and a pronounced underbite. He typically sports a police uniform and sprout-shaped hair, though this varies by story.
Personality traits include a volatile temper, manifested through frequent pistol discharges to announce arrests or threaten targets—from actual crimes to minor disturbances. He displays gluttony, fixations on money and career advancement, and lewd attractions primarily toward women but occasionally men, leading to clingy behavior and recurring failure. He harbors contempt for children, including his son, sometimes causing their accidental deaths through neglect or direct action. Despite periodic firings for misconduct, he consistently regains his post.
Relationships shift across narratives. He frequently clashes with Bakabon's Papa, suffering humiliating pranks that provoke extreme reactions like suicide (later reversed). With recurring crook Kaoru-chan, he develops romantic entanglements. Family includes son Isamu, whose pranks result in his death and a doctor's demise; miniature sons (from a mouse bride) cannibalized by others; and a sister appearing briefly in spin-offs.
His background lacks uniformity. Some origins depict him as a neighborhood officer due to weapon-firing enthusiasm, while *Let's La Gon* casts him as a former hunter. Family history fluctuates, with promised relatives like a younger brother often dropped from plots.
The character surfaces in Akatsuka works beyond *The Genius Bakabon*, including *Osomatsu-kun*, *Extraordinary Ataro*, *The Chicken Family*, *Let's La Gon*, *Boy Friday*, and *Waru Waru World*. Core traits persist, but roles adapt—sometimes as king, cross-dresser, or background figure—with shifting relationships and gender expressions for comedic contexts.
In the 2018 *Late Night! The Genius Bakabon*, he retains trademark impulsiveness and lechery. Modern touches include arrests for public indecency when stripping to a necktie. Interactions with the Bakabon family and neighbors maintain patterns of comedic conflict and humiliation.
