Well, the entry says that he was a former saleryman, but could you tell that by looking at the picture?

Not very good. Alternative suggestions would be good, though.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested — the girl on the right is holding a bazooka thing, which makes you think this isn't your normal "negotiation." I think this can be helped by adding a stronger caption.

I think the problem is more that there's no indication that this guy acquired his skill from the workplace. I mean, he's wearing a salaryman shirt, but I'm not sure that that's enough.

[up][up] Weak Keep Until Better Image Suggested for me too.

He looks like a salaryman, he's clearly doing unsalary-manly works, I can only assume he's using his salaryman skills.

All I can say is that he looks rather out of place.

It's a very weak Keep Until Better Image Suggested for me.

I'm the one who added the image...

But to answer the OP, he clearly look like a salaryman, a Japanese White Collar Worker. He also does something a White Collar Worker might do('negotiate') but in an unusual/odd way and setting.

[up]It's better if we can get the context from the get go instead of having to guess (unless you know about this stuff, of course, but not everyone does).

[up] Better, yes.

But given there are no other suggestions, the picture looks good and is of good quality, it adds visual interest to the page, it doesn't break any rules, and it certainly doesn't detract or obfuscate from the page, I can't think of a reason to pull without replacement. It's by no means great (probably not even "good") but it's definitely not bad. I feel like most of the other weak KUBI Ses feel similarly.
