Character
Faye Valentine
フェイ・ヴァレンタイン
Faye Valentine is a gambler and bounty hunter in Cowboy Bebop who joins Spike and Jet's travelling household. Violet hair, yellow clothing and a red jacket identify her design, and Megumi Hayashibara provides her Japanese voice. Her official anime profile gives her age as 23 and her birthday as August 14. The age field follows that stated value rather than calculating an age from her period of cryogenic sleep. She debuts in Session 3's casino case. Skilled at cheating and determined to obtain money, she also uses firearms and pilots her own craft. The Red Tail is officially a heavily armed vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicle, fitted with Vulcan cannons and revolving gun launchers. Faye can pursue a target herself rather than relying only on bargaining or deception. Cooperation with the others is inconsistent. In Session 7 she tries to collect a bounty independently; in Session 12 she takes the contents of the Bebop's safe and leaves. Such decisions cause disputes and help set subsequent investigations in motion. Past events—mild story spoilers: Faye awoke from cryogenic sleep without her earlier memories and burdened by debt. Session 15 revisits that awakening and her relationship with the lawyer Whitney. An old Betamax tape in Session 18 supplies evidence of her childhood; in Session 24, the Merlion visible in the recording leads her and Ed to Earth. The search for her own history develops alongside, rather than merely as part of, the crew's bounty work. In the animated film she witnesses the Mars terrorist incident while pursuing a target, and her recording becomes an investigative lead. Daniella Pineda plays Faye in Netflix's 2021 adaptation, with Hayashibara returning for the Japanese dub. The age and characterization above follow the anime version. The film's investigation also puts Faye at risk: while pursuing Vincent she is captured herself. Obtaining a lead does not place her safely outside the danger.

Character
Jet Black
ジェット・ブラック
Jet Black is Spike Spiegel's bounty-hunting partner and the owner of the Bebop, the ship that serves as both workplace and home. His official anime profile lists him as 36, with a December 3 birthday. He has a large build, a beard and a mechanical left arm. Unsho Ishizuka voices him in Japanese. Jet previously served with the Intra-Solar System Police, or ISSP. An incident led him to leave policing for bounty hunting, and an injury from that period resulted in parts of his body being mechanized. Alongside investigations, he handles household work and ship maintenance. His interest in bonsai provides another practical, patient activity outside his dangerous profession. The Bebop is a converted interplanetary fishing vessel. Jet's smaller craft, the Hammerhead, is officially classified as a high-powered towing vehicle, with hooks, an anchor and a working hand. It is a different kind of machine from Spike's fighter, reflecting the practical responsibilities of the crew's shipowner. Past events—mild story spoilers: Session 10 brings Jet back to Ganymede and to his former partner Alisa, whose current boyfriend is wanted for a bounty. Session 16 concerns a prisoner transport revolt involving Udai, the killer connected to the loss of Jet's arm. Jet investigates with his former colleague Fad, revisiting the police years when he was known as Black Dog. These cases give the crew's caretaker a personal history beyond his day-to-day responsibilities. Jet also appears in the animated film. Mustafa Shakir plays him in the Netflix live-action adaptation, whose Japanese dub casts Taiten Kusunoki. The Japanese anime performance and the live-action dub therefore have different actors. On Ganymede, Jet apprehends Alisa's boyfriend Rhint and hands him to the police. The case brings a former personal relationship into direct contact with his present work.

Character
Ed
エド
Ed is the Earth-born hacker who joins the Bebop in Cowboy Bebop. Her extended name is Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV. The official anime profile gives a January 1 birthday and explicitly describes her age as a self-reported 13. Reddish hair, goggles and a short white shirt characterize her appearance. Aoi Tada voices her in Japanese. Her homemade computer is called Tomato. Instead of specializing in the gunfights and physical confrontations of the adult crew, she supports investigations through networks and remote control. The official character introduction says that she learns about Spike's group online and subsequently makes herself at home aboard their ship. Session 9 centres on a satellite creating enormous markings on Earth; Ed can remotely operate both the satellite and the Bebop. In Session 14, chess pieces left behind during gate-hacking incidents prompt her to play online chess while seeking the organizer. These cases connect her computer skills to particular investigative clues rather than simply treating her as an unexplained source of answers. Ein frequently accompanies her. Their search for food in Session 17 brings mushrooms and unexpected trouble to the hungry crew. Later-story context: Session 24's visit to Earth also uncovers information about her father, giving her a family history beyond her work for the other bounty hunters. Ed helps identify Vincent during the animated film's investigation. Eden Perkins portrays Radical Ed in Netflix's live-action version. Ed, Radical Ed and the extended name refer to the same character. The stored age retains the official qualification that it is self-reported; it is not used to derive a birth year. The official anime introduction identifies Ed as a girl and notes that her appearance sometimes causes others to mistake her for a boy.

Anime
Cowboy Bebop
カウボーイビバップ
In 2071, bounty hunters Spike Spiegel and Jet Black pursue criminals aboard the Bebop. Faye, Ed and Ein join a crew whose everyday jobs keep colliding with unresolved pasts. This original Sunrise anime combines episodic crime stories, space travel and music across 26 television episodes.
Titles
Character
Ein
アイン
Ein is the male Welsh corgi living aboard the Bebop in Cowboy Bebop. His brown-and-white coat, upright ears and short legs look canine, but he is a data dog with human-level intelligence. The official introduction places his origins in secret research at an unnamed institution. That contrast between an ordinary-looking dog and unusual intelligence defines the character. His debut in Session 2 connects a serial pet thief with researchers trying to recover stolen experimental material. Spike's pursuit of a bounty brings the crew into contact with Ein, who subsequently lives with them. His arrival therefore links a routine bounty investigation to interests the hunters did not initially understand. He often accompanies Ed, including their search for food and involvement with mushrooms in Session 17. The television series also shows him operating devices; Wikipedia's character reference identifies examples involving a telephone and a gaming device. These are particular demonstrated acts, not a basis for inventing unlimited control over machines or information. Ein remains part of the crew in the animated film, whose official character guide again stresses the contrast between his canine appearance and human-level intelligence. His role is understood through shared life aboard the ship and observable behaviour rather than a human bounty hunter's career or equipment. The inspected official introductions do not specify an age or birthday, so neither value has been entered.

Character
Vicious
ビシャス
Vicious is a Red Dragon syndicate executive in Cowboy Bebop and an important figure from Spike's past. Long silver hair, dark clothing and a black bird distinguish his appearance. Norio Wakamoto provides his Japanese voice. The official character introduction describes him as both a former rival and an ally of Spike. He resents the organization's movement toward a more moderate approach and continues to seek conflict. Unlike a one-off criminal pursued for everyday income, he connects the syndicate's internal affairs with the protagonist's earlier relationships. His use of a sword also contrasts visually with the surrounding guns and spacecraft. Story context: Session 5 draws Spike into a trap involving Mao. Sessions 12 and 13 connect a drug deal on Callisto with Gren's earlier relationship to Vicious, leading to a confrontation involving Spike as well. Later, the Red Dragon's internal conflict reaches Spike and Julia. Their repeated encounters gradually reveal more than the simple fact that the two men once worked together. Alex Hassell plays Vicious in Netflix's live-action adaptation, with Wakamoto returning in the Japanese dub. That version expands his background and family relationships within the organization; those additions should not be treated as established anime continuity. This entry follows the anime's affiliations and relationships, and leaves age and birthday unset where direct evidence has not been verified.
