<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
That’s MISTER Magoo to you.<\/p>\n
With his droopy jewels, giving him a somewhat mean-looking expression, Magoo is easy to spot in any role.<\/p>\n
Despite being named after a well-known “nearsighted-bumbling-fool” American cartoon character, Magoo’s elderly appearance usually brings a sense of stability and a sort of “wisdom that comes with age” authority to his roles. As such he’s usually cast in (grand)father-figure roles, such as a doctor, a village headman, of as someone’s father. Although not evil, he can sometimes play antagonistic characters because of simple pig-headed stubbornness or sheer pride.<\/p>\n
A bit of a late bloomer amongst Tezuka’s Stars, he only made his debut in the Astro Boy<\/em>\u00a0(1952-68)<\/a> chapter “Space Parasites” (1962) as one of the scientists that are taken over by the space parasites. However, for most English-speaking readers, he is probably best known as Dr. Tatsugaura in Ode to Kirihito<\/em> (1970)<\/a>. \u00a0He has also appeared several times in Black Jack<\/em> (1973-83)<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n If you spot an appearance not already listed, please let us know in the comments section below!<\/p>\n Astro Boy<\/em><\/a> (“Space Parasites”) as “one of the scientists taken over by the parasites” Submarine Bathys Doesn\u2019t Surface<\/em><\/p>\n General Onimaru\u00a0<\/em>as “a monk” Ode to Kirihito<\/em><\/a>\u00a0as “Dr. Tatsugaura”<\/p>\n Homecoming<\/em>\u00a0as “Dr.\u00a0Hosokibara”<\/p>\n Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (“Avatar”) as “Mr. Benson” Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (“The Cursed Operation”) as “a doctor” Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (“Pinoko\u2019s Challenge”) as “a doctor” Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (“Star, Magnitude Six”) as “Dr. Tokugawa”<\/p>\n Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (“Helping Each Other”) as “the Hospital Director”<\/p>\n Phoenix<\/em><\/a> (\u201cCivil War\u201d) as\u00a0“Taira no Kiyomori”<\/p>\n The Rainbow Parakeet<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u201cThe Petrified Forest<\/a>\u201c) as “Suzuki”<\/p>\n The Rainbow Parakeet<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(“The Bell of Colnevel”) as “the original vassal of devil mask”<\/p>\n Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (“A Question Of Priorities”) as “the captain”<\/p>\n\nManga Appearances<\/h3>\n
