Watchdog Man

As long as I can protect my own town, that's enough for me.

Watchdog Man (番犬マン Banken-man) is an S-Class Rank 12 hero, who is in charge of Q-City.

Appearance
Watchdog Man is a young-looking man with a blank and uninterested look on his face and dresses in a full-body dog suit with a red collar, with his face showing where the dog's mouth should be.

Personality
Watchdog Man has been shown to be very blunt and nonchalant. He also has a habit of wearing his costume all the time even during bath time. His table manners are also pretty bad since he eats like a dog and is never seen using a fork or spoon.

Rumored Monster Arc

The Murder Case that Is Too Impossible
Watchdog Man and other S-Class heroes were invited to a hot spring resort, after the Dark Matter Thieves failed invasion.
