About
Born November 7, 1935, he was originally an Amazonian shaman from South America in a small village until the young people were seduced by the modern world and it made tribes disappear. He became a traveling comedian in New York City, and he met Chocolove. He first messed with him with a blood bag for a gag. Chocolove does try to kill him with a gun, but he missed. Chocolove is an orphan because his parents were killed on Christmas, and he later joined a gang. He asked tries to reason with Chocolove but is forced to use Mic to attack huim. He says that it would take a long time before he can save the world with laughter. Chocolove thought that it was the funniest thing he ever heard, and Chocolove did ask him how he did it, what kind of animal it is. Olona was surprised that he could see Mic, and and recognize him as his successor.

He trains Chocolove to become a shaman for six months on the riverbanks close to the Brooklyn Bridge. Chocolove said that his jokes weren't funny.

Anime/Manga Difference
In the anime, Chocolove met him, when he tried to stop a hostage situation using only jokes. however like the manga they still live at the riverbanks, but unlike the manga, Chocolove is not part of a gang in the manga and instead of being beaten and shot, Orona simply dies from old age.
