The series was later brought to life as a critically acclaimed anime adaptation produced by MAPPA, which aired in 2018 and introduced the Banana Fish world to an entirely new generation of fans across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAsh Lynx\u003c\/strong\u003e is a 17 year old street gang leader operating in New York City, instantly recognizable by his striking blond hair and sharp green eyes. Beneath his formidable exterior, Ash carries deep emotional wounds and a fierce will to survive. He is widely considered one of the most complex and compelling protagonists the Banana Fish franchise has ever produced, and his character has inspired a passionate global fandom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEiji Okumura\u003c\/strong\u003e is a warm and gentle Japanese university student and former pole vaulter who travels to New York as a photography assistant.
