Personality
Spring Mustache is an intelligent, serious man who doesn't back down, as shown by his persistence in fighting Kombu Infinity, even after being beaten up rather badly. He also shares a bond with fellow A-Class hero Golden Ball, as they regularly pair up to hunt monsters and share drinks on their off-time.

Rumored Monster Arc
Spring Mustache and Golden Ball headed to the outskirts of the city to find a rumored monster, and met Kombu Infinity. After Golden Ball is knocked out by Kombu Infinity, Spring Mustache and Kombu Infinity engage in a fight. Despite putting up a good fight, Spring Mustache loses, but not before calling back up. Some time after the event, he received a promotion to rank 28.

Hero Hunt Arc
After realizing that Golden Ball was absent for their usual drink, Spring Mustache goes to his aid in his fight against Garou. Spring Mustache then starts swinging in every direction, forcing Garou to jump. Spring Mustache then initiates his secret move, Tomboy. Garou dodges the attack, but his left hand got stabbed. Succeeding the dodge, Garou punches Spring Mustache, launching Spring Mustache into several trash cans and crates. Garou reveals that he knew about Spring Mustache's secret technique and that he is now used to armed combatants.

 * Salute: A fencing stance used at the beginning of a duel to greet an opponent. Spring Mustache uses it as a stance from which he launches attacks.


 * Tomboy (トムボウイ, Tomubōi): One of the his secret attacks of fencing is the thrust, which begins with his foil coiling in on its self like a spring and then thrusting it forward while shouting "Et La." The resulting thrust extends far past the reach of his foil and has been shown to be able to punch through a telephone pole quite a ways away.

Equipment
Small Sword: Spring Mustache uses a small blade with a cup hilt. The blade is composed of spring steel. He stores his blade in the form of a handkerchief that he keeps in his breast pocket.
