Take a look at the Pandaman pic from Grand Battle 2.
Actually, he's the same
Since Pandaman is always hiding, he's seen in many different outfits, every now and then.
Why is he always hiding, you may ask. Well, because he HAS too Oda created a whole background for Pandaman in One Piece.
Pandaman is running from Tomato Gang. Tomato Gang is, as revealed by Oda himself, a debt collector who's trying to capture Pandaman and make him pay the money he owes him. He's often spoted with Pandaman, too. Tomato Gang is a tomato-shaped headed guy who has a tuft of hair on the top of his head, and a mustache (exactly like a tomato ). Rumors says his gun is actually a konbu seaweed roll.

Many people don't know, but Pandaman wasn't created solely for One Piece. Oda has created him a long time before, in a Shonen Jump contest, as a (believe it or not) enemy of Kinnikuman (that's why he's a wrestling fighter - too bad Oda's character wasn't chosen). Since he liked the character, he decided to put him in One Piece as a "Find Wally" type of character, just for fun
