He is a character from Ranma ½. Pantyhose's name really needs no pun to go with it, it's
humiliating enough. Coincidently, he is named similarly to the other
Chinese characters (he was born in China, even though that may not be his
ethnicity), such as Shampoo, Herb, Plum, Mousse, etc. The "Taro" part of his name is a bull reference.
