A kind old shaman, apparently of Native American descent. Laughing Bull lives on Mars, and figures prominently in a number of Cowboy Bebop sessions. Spike goes to Laughing Bull for advice in Session 1 while looking for bounty head Asimov; in "The Real Folk Blues, Part 2", Jet goes to him for information on Spike's whereabouts. Laughing Bull also succors Spike after his fight with Vincent in Cowboy Bebop: The Movie. Laughing Bull has a son, to whom he occasionally imparts his wisdom.

Laughing Bull refers to Spike as "Swimming Bird", and calls Jet "Running Rock".
