A celebrated sharpshooter and hero during the American Civil War Lemon eventually finds himself pressed into service as Sherrif. Although his duty is clear his resolve is put to the test when the dreaded Melon Kid wanders into town. Unsurprisingly Lemon Kid made his debut in the title role of Lemon Kid 1953. However despite being one of the good guys Lemon was not above making an appearance in Mr. Cactus 195153 to stir up a heated rivalry with Cactus Sam to decided which one of them is the rootinest toot inest cowpoke in the Old West. He has also been featured in another cowboy adventure manga The Bean President 1953. Lemon Kids name in Japanese is derived from English. Although it has no particular meaning it is an anagram of his childhood antiheros name Melon Kid and is inspired by a long line of outlaws from the Wild West such as BillyTheKid or The Sundace Kid. Although he does not have any particular distinguishing physical characteristics you can usually spot the Lemon Kid by his blond hair large round eyes and 10gallon white cowboy hat.
