He has a leaping horse totem around his neck (made of jade).

While he may bottle up his true emotions a trained eye can see them clearly through his eyes, as they betray his honest feelings. He loves to make new friends and tries to do so everywhere he goes. It is very difficult for him to turn down any kind of racing challenge as that is a passion of his.
