Buhara's manga appearance

Buhara is a hulking figure with a large potbelly and an even larger appetite. He can consume large amounts of food more than his own body weight.

Personality

Buhara's easygoing nature greatly contrasts with Menchi's highly selective one. However, he also has a tricky side, telling the examinees they could capture any kind of boar while the only species living at the site of the test is the most dangerous in the world.

Plot

Hunter Exam arc

Buhara announces his condition to pass the first part of the 2nd Phase of the Exam

Menchi and Buhara both act as the examiners for the 2nd Phase of the Exam. Absolutely ravenous, Buhara declared he desired roast pork and the pigs needed to make the dish were said to be found in the Visca Forest Preserve. Surprisingly enough 70 out of 148 examinees manage to get and prepare a roast pork dish for Buhara. Satisfied with the all of the roast pigs, Buhara passes all 70 examinees. Menchi however disapproved of Buhara's handling of the part of the phase announces that Sushi will be the dish the examinees will have to prepare. Buhara questions Menchi's choice, thinking her bad habit might come into play, and it does as she fails all seventy examinees.

While Menchi contacts Beans, Buhara tries to reason with her, but still she fails all of the examinees. This causes one of the examinees Todo to try and retaliate against Menchi, but is stopped by Buhara sending him flying into a wall with a single palm thrust. When asked by Menchi why he did it, Buhara responds, if he didn't Menchi would have killed him.

The examiners talk about whom they favor the most

After the 2nd Phase of the Exam, Buhara, Menchi, and Satotz enjoy a meal together and chat about the examinees that year. When asked what examinee Buhara favored the most, he chose Hisoka. He details after Menchi lost her temper, he exerted a massive amount of negative energy.

Soon after the 4th Phase of the Exam, the examiners enjoy a meal with Netero and question what he has in store for the Final Phase of the Exam. Netero informs them he'll have the examinees have unusual fights. When Netero finishes up the template of who the examinees will fight and show it to the examiners, Buhara questions if he's serious. Netero seemingly serious says that he is. The next day Buhara and the other examiners oversee the Final Phase of the Exam and the Final Phase of the Exam, attends the debate held after it arguing if Illumi somehow manipulated his younger brother Killua into killing Bodoro.

Abilities & Powers

Buhara has access to all the benefits granted by his status as a Hunter. He also has the uncanny ability to eat a quantity of food larger than his own body (70 roasted Great Stamps), the only possible explanation being that his digestion is inhumanly fast.

Buhara sends Todo flying

Enhanced Strength: Buhara has great physical strength, which he demonstrated by throwing a large man like Todo in the air effortlessly, knocking him out in one blow.

Nen

Having served as an examiner, he is probably a competent Gourmet Hunter and, as such, capable of using Nen.
