Tristan's character design was overseen by [[Kazuki Takahashi]]. His usual outfit from the second series anime consists of a long brown coat with a raised collar, a white buttoned shirt underneath and black jeans. His brown hair is arranged such that a large portion spikes out from the front of his head.
===Personality===In the Japanese version, Honda tends to omit honorifics just like his friend [[Joey Wheeler|Jonouchi]] does. Honda plays a few of the games that Yugi plays, and does not play [[Duel Monsters]] that often. He along with [[Téa Gardner|Anzu]] are often supportive of their friends. In middle-school, Tristan began a strong friendship with Jounouchi. In the manga, Honda is a sharpshooter. He said that when he was a kid, he could shoot a 100-yen piece with a BB gun from 50 feet. In the first series anime, Honda is the head of the clean-up committee as beautification officer at school and often over-dramatically cites his duty while doing things, which causes him to annoy his friends. Jounouchi often teases him about this, and calls him a 'janitor reject'. In the first series anime, he has a major crush on [[Miho Nosaka]]. Whenever he feels like not doing something or going somewhere, and Miho wants to go or do something, Honda will eagerly change his mind and do what Miho wants to do.hi
