Coming Soon.<\/p>\n
Dr. Hanamaru is instantly recognizable by his round bulbous nose and his huge, overflowing poofy white beard.<\/p>\n
Probably Osamu Tezuka’s most reliable “go-to” Star to play a scientist or a doctor. \u00a0He is generally a friendly and competent researcher, concerned with the welfare of mankind. \u00a0He will often be the one to\u00a0make a great discovery pertinent to a crisis, even to the salvation of mankind, and yet be disregarded as a crackpot by the rest of the scientific community. \u00a0However, at other times he serves as a voice of sage wisdom – including somewhat famously lecturing Black Jack<\/a> on the significance of not underestimating the human body and the miracles of nature.<\/p>\n While he never has his own series, Dr. Hanamaru is a significant contributor to almost all of Tezuka\u2019s major science fiction series, and one of his most recognizable and reliable faces. \u00a0First appearing in Tobi\u2019s 20<\/em> (1948) as “Old Man Ya”, his breakout role is most likely as “Dr. Bell” in Metropolis<\/em> (1949)<\/a>. \u00a0He has also appeared as “Dr. Bettara” in Jet King<\/em>\u00a0(1959), five different scientists\u00a0in Astro Boy<\/em>\u00a0(1952-68)<\/a>, and no less than eleven separate doctors (and one Buddhist priest) in Black Jack<\/em>\u00a0(1973-83)<\/a>, among his other varied roles.<\/p>\n If you spot an appearance not already listed, please let us know in the comments section below!<\/p>\n Tobi\u2019s 20<\/em>\u00a0as “old man Ya” Metropolis<\/em><\/a>\u00a0as “Dr. Bell”<\/p>\n The Wonderful Journey<\/em>\u00a0as “Mr.\u00a0Nonemo” Next World<\/em><\/p>\n The Adventure of Rock<\/em><\/a>\u00a0as “Count Oil”<\/p>\n Astro Boy<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u201cMission to Mars\u201d) as \u201cthe university professor\u201d Chief Detective Kenichi<\/em>\u00a0(\u201cThe Case of the Gorilla\u201d) as “the medical examiner\u201d Pink Angel<\/em>\u00a0as “the art dealer” The Three Who Glimpse the Future<\/em>\u00a0as “a\u00a0doctor” Jet King<\/em>\u00a0as “Dr. Bettara”<\/p>\n Brave Dan<\/em><\/a> as \u201cDr. Hanamaru\u201d<\/p>\n Big X<\/em> as \u201cDr. Hanamaru\u201d<\/p>\n Astro Boy<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u201cLast Day on Earth\u201d) as \u201cthe scientist\u201d<\/p>\n Astro Boy<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u201cBlue Knight\u201d) Astro Boy<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u201cAstro Boy Reborn\u201d) as \u201cthe scientist\u201d<\/p>\n Astro Boy<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u201cThe Man Who Returned from Mars\u201d) as \u201cone of the attendees at\u00a0Dr. Ochanomizu’s\u00a0funeral”<\/p>\n Gachaboi’s\u00a0Biography<\/em><\/p>\n Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (\u201cMiyuki and Ben\u201d) as \u201ca doctor\u201d<\/p>\n Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (\u201cTwo Loves\u201d) as \u201ca doctor\u201d<\/p>\n Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (\u201cNeedle\u201d) as \u201ca doctor\u201d Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (\u201cGift to the Future\u201d) as \u201ca\u00a0doctor” Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (\u201cA Surgeon Lives for Music\u201d) as \u201ca doctor” Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (\u201cBlack Jack Disease\u201d)<\/p>\n The Rainbow Parakeet<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u201cThe Telephone<\/a>\u201c) as “the doctor”<\/p>\n Probably Osamu Tezuka’s most reliable “go-to” Star to play a scientist of a doctor.
