That's President, and I don't think so. He held his master in high regard and tries to imitate him. To him, being Japanese would be like saying "I want to be an Astronaut" or "I want to be a Pro-Football Player" or even "I want to be the President". And it just so happens that Chipp, being an American, can be the President.
Smithkakarot said: Chipp looks to be about 17-20. Sure he's OLD enough to be president?
Well he was a bodyguard (for a short while) for a female president named Erica Bartholomew who's 17 years old. She's the president of A-Country (formerly known as the United States of America which became a third world country).
