History
Amazon is a kind and forgiving man who tried his best to learn more about Japanese culture. Although he is very into friendship and tries to protect his friends with his full might, he was initially rather feral towards strangers that weren't children, and has more than once caused trouble because of it. This actually made him homesick for a time. He later on learns to become more civil towards others as he understands more about Japanese culture and language. As mentioned before, Amazon is a forgiving man who even forgave and rescued Mogura who previously kidnapped Masahiko and tried to kill Amazon.

Fighting Skills
Amazon fights in a berserk and wild way such as biting and scratching. He also moves very swiftly like a gymnast and fights while ignoring wounds inflicted to him by his opponents. Presumably his best area of advantage is the Amazon rainforest where he grew up in and other forest related places. Even without transforming, Amazon can lift a bike with his bare arms showing that he possesses great strength (like most of his predecessors).
