Hello, My Name (in English) is\u2026<\/h3>\n

Hyoutantsugi.<\/p>\n

Distinguishing Features<\/h3>\n

Perhaps Tezuka\u2019s strangest and most recognizable creation is Hyoutan-tsugi, a strange little creature which looks rather like a pig with patches stitched on it.<\/p>\n

Status: Other Organism\u00a0(\u2605)<\/h3>\n

Hyoutan-Tsugi actually represents the fruiting body of a kind of Japanese mushroom, and is based on a sketch Tezuka\u2019s sister did when she was very young. This strange little figure has become Tezuka\u2019s signature, in a way, appearing in essentially every work he ever wrote in some strange form or another. The Hyoutan-tsugi appears most frequently as an expression of emotion. For example, when a character is shocked, startled or embarrassed, sometimes the character\u2019s face will turn into the Hyoutan-Tsugi, or the Hyoutan-Tsugi will drop from the ceiling and hit the character on the head. When angry, a character will often kick a Hyoutan-Tsugi that appears on the ground, or throw one so it bounces around the panel.<\/p>\n

Notable\u00a0Roles<\/h3>\n

In addition to its function as an expressive tool, Hyoutan-Tsugi often appears in the background as a symbol – a logo, a decoration in a room, a photograph on a desk, a face on top of a totem pole. Even in Tezuka\u2019s very serious works, the Hyoutan-Tsugi will generally make an appearance, as in Buddha<\/em>\u00a0(1972-83)<\/a> where it is the symbol branded onto a slave, or in Message to Adolf<\/em>\u00a0(1983-85)<\/a>\u00a0where it occasionally appears to lighten moments in an otherwise intense drama.<\/p>\n
