The Bebop from 'Cowboy Bebop'. The name just has a cool, jazzy feel to it. It reflects the laid - back yet action - packed nature of the show. The ship is home to a group of bounty hunters, and the name Bebop gives it a sense of being a unique and somewhat off - beat place in the science - fiction world.
