I finally did it, I finally drew Banana Fish fan art🥲
Does Hiroko Utsumi just hate women? T-T Why did she cut this out
BANANA FISH (1985-1994) by yoshida akimi
Me whenever anyone calls banana fish "Just a Yaoi"
more banana fish headcannons bc why not🍌🐟
Yut lung is obsessed with dress to impress, but he plays a lot of videogames overall. He spends most Saturdays playing COD with sing over call, telling song to "fucking kill yourself" when they both die. He also loves bullying children in VR chat!
Shorter didn't know how to swim until summer I'm Cape cod, and he almost drown. Several times.
As a kid ash was obsessed with cowboys and so Griffin made him a makeshift horsey out of a twig and an old sock.
Blanca does checks on Ash over the web every few years and whenever he reads an article about some crime he committed he reacts like a proud father.
Jessica loves Cher so much that she dresses up as her for holloween most years. She also absolutely loves Madonna and Lady Gaga. She would definitely be that one straight woman at a gay bar trying to be friends with all of the guys ( very annoying, but there's an endearing quality to her as well)
Ibe had been previously married, and divorced several times. He's a hopeless romantic and realizes that he's probably made a mistake when it's way too late. He also previously knew Eijis mom in highschool, but they were separated after college and just simply growing up. They weren't too close but were definitely friends.
Eijis little sister is four years younger that him, and she is obsessed with idols and wants to be one.
Ash is constantly cold, Eiji is constantly breaking a sweat.
Shorter often gets so immersed in things that he forgets to take care of his basic needs. Lucky for him, he has a wonderful friend who tells him "take a shower you smell like shit" when he forgets ( bet you can guess who)<3
Ashs favorite movie is Romeo + Juliet, Eijis is transformers, Shorters fast and the furious, sings is detective Pikachu, and yut lungs is white chicks.
Finished reading the banana fish manga, please remind me why I'm alive😭
the banana fish fandom has been looking like it's dying recently, so let's share headcannons!
Eiji is a huge star wars fan, Shorter on the other hand is a huge star trek fan. Instead of fighting about this, they instead nerd out together and have binged the entirety of Star Trek the original series and the original Star wars movies ( jokes on them Ash is a fuckin nerd who loves both)
Shorter is a really big fan of music, pretty much any kind. Ash likes any kind of music that has a lot of music, so imagine him listening to alot of Midwest emo ( he loves la dispute) and also classical. Eiji listens to pretty much anything on the radio, but he has a soft spot for classic rock and metal like Ozzy Osborne.
Yut Lung has about 5 Instagram accounts, and he uses each of these just to bully others that he finds himself jealous of.
sing is a beyblade kid. Shorter also loves beyblades and he plays with sing.
Shorter introduced Eiji to South park. He has never been the same.
If we're looking at a banana fish AU in 2025, that would mean the boys are all Gen z ( which is absolutely crazy to think about) Eiji was definitely a unrestricted Internet access kid which is probably why he can deal with so much shit. Someone getting killed? That's nothing. Smile HD? Now that's terrifying.
Shorter probably has eaten a tidepod or something like that.
Ash collects classic vinyl, which is one of his escapes. He has all kinds, pop, jazz, rock, even some new stuff, but it really helps him calm down.
Shorter plays drums and Ash plays guitar. They were once in a two piece punk band which ended with a shootout between them and a rival gang.
shorter is actually really smart, but he dropped out of school because he was struggling with his ADHD and wanted to help his sister.
Ash would often claim Nadia as his own sister because she was so awesome.
Ash doesn't really get Japanese, so he started watching subtitled anime to try to understand the language better.
In Cape cod, the boys shot their own movie. Ash didn't want to be in front of the camera so he helped Eiji with the cinematography. It was a very poorly produced 15 minute film about Shorter, an aspiring actor, and it strangely turns into a zombie gore flick.
Ash and Eiji have some of the worst pet names and it's mostly a joke. Sometimes Eiji will call Ash some Japanese word with an absolutely crazy meaning, and Ash will think it's sweet but it definitely isn't.
Ash is definitely little spoon and he will fight for the death to keep this.
Despite his love for mustard, Ash absolutely cannot take spicy food, but he eats it cause he likes it.
Ash is a dog person and Eiji is a cat person.
I have more but I want to see you guys first!
-blow me away-
Remember back in 2020 when the Banana Fish fandom all collectively agreed that Shorter, Yutlung, and Sing would be friends if the anime was lighthearted...
Yeah, that headcannons and getting old Shane clips on my Tiktok is what inspired this
stupid show about bananas and fishes ruined my life.
before eiji there was shorter and i sTAND BY THAT FACT I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
Banana fish will be the death of me
‘Oh yeah I’m currently at halcon right now- come say hi at table B3-4 if you happen to be there- I have lots of goodies this time around :)
Goodbye my friends
Close enough, welcome back Shorter Wong
Finally Meme’d Tim Stoker, this is just a break post from animations, but i am still going to make more animations ehe 🤡
I've seen some great Banana Fish content. So I just like to throw in some thoughts about this great/sad anime:
1) Cain was great. I feel like he didn't get a lot of credit. Love his character design. He came through when needed and cared about his gang.
2) Shorter was my favorite. 😔😭
3) When Ash screamed Eiji's name, I wasn't ready...nah, this whole scene had me about to act up! Yut-Lung, you bastard! But, seriously, I was invested in their potential future. 😭😭😭😭
4) On a happier note, this right here:
This made/makes me happy. It's just nice. 😢😣😔😊
