Character Outline[]
Appearance[]
Lampow has light green hair that is of medium length. Unkept in style, the length of his bangs has his hair to the sides of his eyes, with a section in the middle nearing his nose. This partially obscures his eyebrows. For Lampow's electric blue eyes, often the right one would be closed. He has a small black lightning bolt symbol below his right eye.
For clothing, Lampow wears a white flannel shirt with quite a large collar. This shirt has leather ties around the wrists. Lampow also wears blue colored pants.
Personality[]
He is very spoiled and cowardly like Lambo. His cowardly side is evidenced in Volume 34, where a side picture reveals that he was actually afraid when he was ordered to help the Simon Famiglia during the massive Mafia war.
Lampow also has shown to think highly of himself due to his position as son of the lord, as displayed when he introduced himself to Lambo, especially with the way he refers to himself as "ore-sama" in Japanese. He is also lazy when it comes to doing his duty as a Vongola Guardian; he refused to deem Lambo worthy before he even tested him until Giotto convinced him, and even then, he made Lambo's inheritance test easy just so he could finish his duty quickly.
Ironically, he also stated that he disliked kids like Lambo and could not stand them while his character was such. Additionally, in a Drama CD, he was treated like a child by G where he was occasionally calling him a "brat". However, he still maintains a high respect and loyalty for his boss, where Lampow claims he cannot disobey Giotto's orders. For all his traits, Lampow appears to be trusted by Giotto enough to be sent to fight on the frontlines despite his personality.

Weapons and Abilities[]
Lampo's Shield: The original shield was somewhat wok-like black shield. The cambio forma shield consists of two horns and the Roman Numeral I in the middle.

This form has incredible defensive abilities and can also fire out intense bursts of Lightning called Corna Fulmine (lit. Lightning Horn).
