Buster J. Bunny (voiced by Charlie Adler and John Kassir in the English version and by Ryûsei Nakao in the Japanese dub), is the first appearance of the Buster Bunny in The Wacky Wabbit, and the leader of the Tiny Toons gang, a street-smart anthropomorphic blue rabbit who had to deal with the challenges of a tough school curriculum, the machinations of former friend, present-day rich kid and local bully Montana Max and the advances of crazed and dippy animal lover Elmyra Duff. Like Babs, he will do anything for a laugh, though he is marginally more sane and calm than his female counterpart.
Buster's parents, like many of the main characters on the show, have never been seen on screen. It is known that Buster does live with his parents however, because in a commercial for Tiny Toons fruit snacks, he has even been spoken with his mother on the phone, mostly as a way to tell Buster that she and his father were on their way home while he was having a party.
Buster has an extreme fondness for Bugs to the point of often imitating his mentor, such as using Bug's slap dance technique from Bully For Bugs in one episode (though with considerably less success).
Buster's outfit is just a red shirt and white gloves, which brings up the question when he asked his creator in the pilot episode for some clothes "for the censors" even though he's completely pantless.
It is shown in "Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian" that Buster doesn't like riding on airplanes because he gets motion sickness. There he tried to persuade the script writers to make a rewrite regarding his disliking for air travel. Because they refused, he had no choice but to accept it.
In early development, Buster would have had the catchphrase "Hello Nurse!" This idea was dropped as they could not think of a good reason for him to say it; it later evolved into a character name on Animaniacs, as well as a cry of lust from its main characters.
Buster's sole end tag alone without Babs was "And dat's a wrap!"
