The Bruce Lee jumpsuit
Lita always wears the same outfit, a tribute to Bruce Lee: a bright yellow one-piece jumpsuit with a black stripe running down the arms and legs, and little yellow sneakers with black stripes. He refuses to wear anything else.
Kung fu at two and a half
Lita is Bruce Lee's biggest fan and, despite his age, a kung fu expert: perfect guards, battle cries and combinations that come out of nowhere. Ny Rabe never explains it, and nobody in the family is really surprised. Like Zézé the zebu who speaks to the reader, it is one of the few fantastical touches the universe embraces.
A whirlwind at home
Lita is always on the move: he breaks things, he swallows things, and he sometimes becomes the unwitting test subject of the experiments of Njaka, his twelve-year-old uncle. He adores Maki the dog and Zézé the zebu.
