Don Pacino
CharacterDon Pacino heads the Pacino Family, a Z-City crime outfit, and carries a C-Class criminal rating. Devoted to his men yet fatally shortsighted, he tries to gun down the cyborg Genos and pays dearly for it.
Appearance
Short and heavyset, Don Pacino has pale skin, brown hair, and weary yellow eyes ringed by heavy bags. He dresses like a classic mobster, wearing a black suit with a purple shirt and yellow tie beneath a gray trench coat and matching hat.
Personality
Don Pacino puts his family above everything and would go to any length for them. That devotion comes paired with poor judgment, as he cannot grasp how hopeless it is to take on a cyborg like Genos with nothing but firearms and hired muscle.
History
His lone appearance comes in OVA 2, where he crosses paths with Genos outside a shop and seizes the keys that Saitama had entrusted to him. Pacino offers to return them if Genos will explain his connection to a certain hostage, then sits through a rambling account only to discover the cyborg had no link at all and had wasted his time. The mob boss and his men unleash a hail of bullets that do nothing to Genos, who incinerates them and rescues the captive. Pacino also turns up as a playable fighter in several One-Punch Man games. His name pays tribute to actor Al Pacino, long famous for playing mafiosi.
