Banjo made his debut appearance in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', alongside [[Tiptup]] and Conker, as a heavy racer with a high top speed and low acceleration before starring in his own game several months later. Since then, he has been the main character of every ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie series]]'' game yet. A while back, Banjo adopted a breegull named [[Kazooie]] who is often seen seeking shelter in his backpack. The pair has gone on numerous adventures together, the purpose of most of them being to stop the sinister plans of the evil witch [[Gruntilda]]. He has returned in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts|the series' latest installment for the Xbox 360]]. Banjo also has a younger sister named [[Tooty]] who lives with him and Kazooie in a house at the bottom of [[Spiral Mountain]]. She also plays her namesake instrument. | Banjo made his debut appearance in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', alongside [[Tiptup]] and Conker, as a heavy racer with a high top speed and low acceleration before starring in his own game several months later.

Banjo's personality is very different from that of [[Kazooie]]'s. Banjo is a well-mannered, sweet-natured, easygoing bear. He uses "Mr." or "Mrs." when speaking to people and generally likes to help people out - which means a lot of damage control when Kazooie opens her fat beak. While he always means well, he sometimes comes off as a bit slow. He tries to say something witty every now and again, but he usually isn't any good at it. Despite his niceness, he can have short moments of being aggressively straightforward when angry. | Banjo's personality is very different from that of [[Kazooie]]'s.

Banjo flip-flops a bit when it comes to his bravery - at times he will jump into a situation quickly, but other times he acts timid and doesn't want to commit. In all cases, however, he would much rather sit down and have either honey, pizza or a nap, suggesting he is somewhat lazy but he at least does not have the issue of shoving food into their fat mouth constantly while thinking up new lies and imaginary situations to produce. Throughout the series (mostly in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts|Nuts & Bolts]]''), many characters including Banjo's allies have referred to Banjo as "stupid" and "crazy", but this is a trait not shown in other games in the series. The real issue is mental instability and basically compulsive lies, once come to terms with just maybe a happy life may be possible. | Banjo flip-flops a bit when it comes to his bravery - at times he will jump into a situation quickly, but other times he acts timid and doesn't want to commit.

Then [[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie|in 2010]], Banjo got word of a racing tournament of some sort. He decided to put his old racing skills to the test, so he and Kazooie fixed up the 'Bolt Bucket' and went out racing with Sonic and friends. | Then [[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie|in 2010]], Banjo got word of a racing tournament of some sort.

*In ''Viva Piñata'' there are multiple references to Banjo. The Fizzlybear species attacks using golden puzzle pieces, an item Banjo collects in the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' franchise.
