I like his style too, he seems to be going for a more 'cool' look compared to the 'fun' looks of a lot of other Reiwa main riders, closest to Ace but a bit more rugged. It makes me hope he'll have a more cool and professional personality too, to go with the secret agent concept.

Also the Japanese word for the animal tapir, which derives from the mythical beast iirc. It's another case of the giraffe-kirin/qilin situation where they have the mythical beast first but later name a never-before-seen animal that.

By the way, in the case for our titular hero, his name is written as 莫 in kanji. Apparently it means nothing or nobody depending on context.The mythical beast baku and the tapir are written as 獏 in kanji.
