\"\"\"star-dojiemon\"<\/p>\n

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

Coming Soon!<\/p>\n

Distinguishing Features<\/h3>\n

Usually towering over his companions with his bulky frame, you can usually spot him by his large round nose, enormous round chin, and even larger round belly.<\/p>\n

Status: Minor\u00a0Star\u00a0(\u2605)<\/h3>\n

As a member of\u00a0 Khoekhoe people of southern Africa, Dojiemon is <\/span><\/span><\/span>officially considered one of Tezuka’s “black” Stars, his range is enormous and he is equally comfortable being cast in both black and white roles – not to mention both male and female roles.<\/p>\n

As a black Star, Dojiemon usually takes on leadership roles – cast as a tribal chief or a village headman. However, too versatile to be type cast, Dojiemon began to take on white roles as well.\u00a0 Although he is usually cast as a subordinate to one of Tezuka’s higher profile stars, such as Duke Red<\/a> for example, and can acts as the “heavy muscle” in a gang of criminals, given his range he naturally takes on all kinds of roles – villains, ordinary citizens, doctors, and rich people. You name it, and he can pull it off.<\/p>\n

Notable\u00a0Roles<\/h3>\n

Although his first appearance was as one of the natives in The Jungle Kingdom<\/em> (1948), and he was memorable as the Chief of the Donga Tribe in Jungle Emperor<\/em> (1950-53)<\/a>, he also made a remarkable 13 appearances in Black Jack<\/em> (1973-83)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
