Shobun is a tallish asian middle-aged man with muscular build. He has short black hair, a very thin mustache, and very thin eyebrows. He always keeps a non-enthusiastic look on his face, which helps him trick the opponent into thinking he doesn't care about the match by combining it with his Hand Pocket technique. He is dressed in a white Chinese suit and greyish boots.

Shobun is a very skilled fighter. He uses a lesser-known martial arts style known as Iai Kenpo. The most utilized technique in this style is the Hand Pocket, but it is also shown to have some more common techniques such as the Nukite, which Shobun used on Oliva. His Nukite has proven to be strong enough to stab Oliva with a spear hand strike and makes him bleed, but it didn't work later when Oliva tightens his body for real.
