Saw Paing is a Burmese fighter with a lean and tall physique. He arguably appears much younger than he is, with a youthful and hairless face and spiky, voluminous brown hair and hazel eyes. True to his personality, he often sports a determined and enthusiastic expression with wide eyes and a perpetual grin.

Saw Paing is the polar opposite of his self-proclaimed rival, <a href="https://anilist.co/character/143861/Gaolang-Wongsawat">Gaolan Wongsawat</a> while the latter is calm and apathetic, Saw Paing is hot-blooded, brash, and easily excitable. He is a frequent shouter and yells loud enough to drown out the announcer on the mic in a crowded stadium. His adoptive father, Sanemitsu, casually states that Saw Paing is not a very intelligent person, though he does have (a certain degree of) common sense. Despite his hot-blooded nature, Saw Paing is surprisingly understanding, such as delaying fights with Gaolan if the latter has an appointment.

His rivalry with Gaolan is seemingly one-sided; after Kaolan beat him in a cross-border match at age 16, he frequently sneaks across the border to challenge him to a rematch, even climbing up Kaolan's high-rise apartment to do so, much to the latter's annoyance.
