Ball-Chinned Kid
CharacterThe Ball-Chinned Kid is the grandson of Agoni, the multimillionaire who founded the Hero Association. Best remembered for the deep cleft splitting his chin, he is the boy Saitama rescued from the monster Crablante three years before the story begins, in an encounter that helped set the hero's path in motion.
Appearance
The boy's most striking feature is by far the huge cleft dividing his chin. Otherwise he is a small child with short black hair, dressed in a white T-shirt, orange shorts, and blue sneakers.
Personality
He has a playful, troublemaking streak, having once scribbled on the sleeping Crablante with a permanent marker while the monster napped in a park. He can also be scatterbrained, fretting over his lost ball even as his life hangs in the balance.
History
Saitama first crosses paths with the boy while he plays soccer in a park. After learning that Crablante is hunting the child, Saitama starts to walk off, figuring the matter is none of his concern, but he turns back when the crab monster lunges and battles the creature to save the boy. In a bonus page set later, the kid reappears as a school student, watching Sneck lie defeated on the ground after failing to crush Saitama.
