Honkan functions as a local police officer. His official full name, Mentama Tsunagari Omawari-san, translates to "Mr. Policeman with Connected Eyes," directly referencing a distinctive eye trait. He is universally identified by his occupational nickname, Omawari-san (Mr. Policeman or Mr. Cop). One chapter ambiguously references a potential personal name, Futio Shiratsuka, though its canonicity remains uncertain as a meta-reference to the manga creator; it is not consistently used. His primary role involves policing, frequently leading to encounters with the central father-son duo. These interactions typically provoke intense frustration due to their unconventional behavior. Honkan possesses a notoriously short temper, especially when confronted by Bakabon and his father. This aggravation consistently escalates into extreme reactions, including repeated attempts to shoot them with his service weapon during encounters near the police station. He prizes his firearm as an integral part of his identity. This pattern of enraged escalation defines his character across appearances, establishing him as a comedic antagonist whose role emphasizes law enforcement's futile struggles against the protagonists' absurdity.
