Miscellaneous description
Size does matter. Big=strong, fat=healthy. Has a pair of horns and ears piercing his thick hair, which ends in a well-tied pony-tail. Is often seen wearing a yellow shirt and pants with a black-trimmed brown vest on top. Reacts little to conversations around him, although often ready for battle. When he sees red, he can choose to get on his four limbs and transform into a large bull.

Highlights
(Episode: The Blue Bird) Suddenly ends up in a woman's gown, forced to endure it for the entire episode.

Developments after the series
Getting back is one thing. Apologizing to your sister is another. Having left his sister behind during his journeys with the heroes, Adrian has lots of explaining to do.

Name analysis
(Filipino Dubbed) Buku is half of a Japanese expression (Bukubuku) which means "fat".
(Japanese) Ho-ru-su becomes "Horse" supposedly. Although it could also be related to "Hose" and "House" and "Horus"... makes little sense. However, Mr. Tonomura says that the name comes from a certain breed of cows called "Holstein-Fressian" which is rather popular in Japan.

Fun stuff
