Ash Lynx

Aslan Jade Callenreese, better known as Ash Lynx, is the protagonist of Banana Fish. Ash is given a sample of an unknown drug by a dying man and is targeted by Dino Golzine for what he is suspected to have. He is aided by Japanese journalist Eiji Okumura and his friend Shorter Wong in discovering the true nature of the mysterious substance.
He is voiced by Yuma Uchida.
==Appearance==
Ash is a tall and slender young man. He has blond hair, green eyes, pale skin, and is extremely beautiful in appearance, as remarked on by numerous characters in the series. His normal attire consists of a loose white T-shirt, blue jeans, brown belt, and red hi-top sneakers. He is shown wearing glasses when reading, suggesting that he may be far-sighted. He is sometimes sporting a green jade earring given to him by Dino Golzine to match the color of his eyes and serve as a reminder of his ownership over Ash.
==Abilities==
Ash has the skill to gather large groups of individuals together under his influence. Not only is he excellent in combat and an incredible marksman, but he is also highly intelligent, with an IQ of 200. His intelligence lends itself well to solving the mystery of 'Banana Fish' and he has also been stated to be quite well-read, knowing his way around the newspaper's daily columns and political novels- unusual for someone who did not finish middle school.
While employed as one of Ash's teachers in Private Opinion, Blanca takes note of how well Ash understands the advanced curriculum he is being taught, and the intelligence of his questions concerning the material.
==Personality==
Along with his remarkable intelligence, Ash's good looks and charisma allow him to sway the will of people to his benefit in dire situations, and he's well aware of it. Despite the influence he holds over others, however, Ash is mistrustful and holds most people at arms-length except for a few select friends in his inner circle, including his long-time best friend Shorter, and later Eiji Okumura. He is not afraid of death because of his disillusionment with his own life.
== Trivia ==
* Ash's character design is based on the late American actor River Phoenix.
* Ash developed a fear of pumpkins as a child, due to an incident on a Halloween night where he accidentally scared himself with his own costume.
