Melon Cop can best be described as a more ruthless, cop version of Lupin. He would, as Lupin himself puts it, "Kill a poor kid in the middle of confession." He's calm, collected and efficient, in contrast to the hot-headed Zenigata. According to his file, he's taciturn and highly perceptive.
He often goes behind Zenigata's back to catch Lupin and admits it in a later chapter.

- According to his file, his birthday is May 12th however his birth year is unknown as it is listed as 19XX. Melon Ganimard shares the same birthday.
- While he has not appeared in the anime as himself, a picture done in the Lupin the 3rd Part 2 style did appear on a sticker that was a gift when bought with Furuya Sugar Free Bubble Gum. It was also his only known appearance in color.
- For Part 2 Episode, 28, he was replaced with Melon Ganimard, who is not only the granddaughter of Justin Ganimard, but also basically either a gender-swapped version of himself or a combination of him and a cop version of Fujiko from the manga.
