Based on reporting by ABEMA Times, the character is a central part of the Forger family in the hit adaptation of Tatsuya Endo’s manga series, which surpassed 41 million copies in circulation by December 2025.

Bond’s Basic Profile and Role in the Forger Family

Bond is a large, male canine characterized by a thick white coat, floppy ears, and a calm demeanor, according to ABEMA Times. While his exact age and weight remain unspecified in the source material, the manga’s fourth volume (MISSION:18) notes that he is relatively old. He rarely barks unnecessarily and generally demonstrates an understanding of human speech, often responding with a low “bof” sound when addressed by Anya Forger.

The name “Bond” originates from Anya, who names him after her favorite fictional spy character, Bondman, following an incident at a dog park where the dog retrieves Anya’s glove from another animal. In the television adaptation, voice actor Kenichirou Matsuda provides Bond’s vocal effects. Matsuda also serves as the series narrator, noting in public comments reported by ABEMA Times that he has a history of voicing large white canine characters, such as Riku in Kino’s Journey.

Precognitive Abilities and Narrative Context

According to ABEMA Times, Bond joins the Forger family after crossing paths with Anya during a crisis involving a terrorist group. This precognition allows Bond to anticipate hazardous events, helping him alter outcomes to protect members of the Forger household.

The overarching narrative of SPY×FAMILY is set against a backdrop of a decades-long Cold War between Westalis (the West) and Ostania (the East). The story follows Twilight, a Westalis intelligence agent assigned to Operation Strix. To get close to target Donovan Desmond, Twilight constructs a fake family by adopting Anya—who possesses telepathic abilities—and marrying Yor, an undercover assassin, while keeping their respective identities hidden from one another.
