He is revealed to have won the MVP in the Youth Championship during a flashback in Chapter 333 following the Japan and America had after a 45-45 tie in the championship game and the result of the unofficial overtime was not counted. In chapter 312 of the manga, Panther has been revealed to have a 40-yard dash of 4.10 seconds, amazingly and surprisingly breaking the 4.2 speed of light barrier, previously thought to be unbeatable. (It should be noted that Panther was in a suit and dress shoes while Morgan was in his uniform) Panther then shows why he is called the "Worlds Fastest Man" when he takes the ball away from Morgan before the older player could make a single move. Apollo states that he would teach Panther all the techniques he knew, in order to make Panther stronger. When Morgan promises to let Homer join if Panther can get past him or take the ball from him, Panther has a flashback to when he was training with Apollo one on one during the time when he reached the limit of his natural talent. When questioned on which players should join the American team, Panther suggests the NASA Shuttles quarterback Homer, who has a terrible technique despite his exceptional throwing strength. He is extremely motivated for the upcoming World Youth Cup, because the ultimate prize for the best player in the match is an automatic contract with the San Antonio Armadillos as well as 3 million dollars which eventually became a signing bounds for Panther. He is considered one of the top two players, and the top runner, in America, and possibly the fastest man in the world, quicker than Seijuro or even Sena. In chapter 306, Panther is shown as one of the American players coming to the American Football Youth World Cup. Eventually, he and Sena became good friends and promised to play on equal terms the next time they met on the field, (Sena was nearly at his limit by the time Panther had entered the game).

He is also one of the few people who is able to eat his grandmother's horrendous oatmeal recipe.

Panther's dream is to become a pro NFL player and make money so that his grandmother would no longer have to work. He trains everyday by running across rooftops. Panther is a good-natured person who has extraordinary running talents, but has been reduced to being a ball boy, due to Apollo's prejudice. By the Youth World Cup Arc, his hair has grown and can be seen hanging loose from the back of his head. He always wears it, and it's very important to him. He is almost always seen wearing a white sweatband with a black panther embroidered on either side of his head, "PANTHER" stitched in under it. He has reddish brown eyes and dark hair tied back in corn rows. Panther is a tall, young black man with a lean build and long legs.
