Having made a childhood promise to marry Kaolla, Lamba encourages her to grow up so that they can wed, however, this puts Kaolla at odds between her wish to grow up and marry him and staying a child and continuing to have fun.
Appearance[]
Lamba Lu looks almost exactly like Keitaro; the only differences are that he is more tanned than Keitaro, has darker hair and dark green eyes, and is noticeably taller and well-built. Unlike Keitaro, however, Lamba Lu is very calm, collected, and not at all clumsy or awkward. Also in contrast to Keitaro, Lamba possesses a very duty-oriented attitude, a marked difference to Keitaro's idealistic nature.
