<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Being the father of the world’s most powerful robot is a role that doesn’t require spending a lot of time in the limelight. \u00a0After all, who needs a name when everyone knows you are “Astro’s Father”?<\/p>\n
Astro’s Father is generally recognizable by his rotund appearance, smiling face and large, round nose. \u00a0He also seems to have a retractable moustache as its existence varies, sometimes from panel to panel, often in the same chapter.<\/p>\n
Astro’s Father was created, along with his much more famous wife, Mitchy<\/a>, by Dr. Ochanomizu<\/a> to act as Astro Boy<\/a>‘s robot family. \u00a0Although he is a father figure, as a robot he is actually younger than Astro<\/a>, and thus attends the same school in a lower grade – something which often leads to some comedic results. \u00a0Astro’s father is always ready to be a steadying hand, a fountain of advice or simply comedic relief.<\/p>\n Although he is primarily a member of the supporting cast in Astro Boy<\/em> (1952-68)<\/a>, Astro’s Father has made an appearance in the Black Jack<\/em> (1973-83)<\/a> chapter “Gleamy Eyes” as “Tetsuo’s Father”.<\/p>\n If you spot an appearance not already listed, please let us know in the comments section below!<\/p>\n Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“Astro\u2019s Parents<\/a>“) as “Astro’s Father” Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“Sea Serpent Island”) as “Astro’s Father” Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“Cobalt”) as “Astro’s Father” Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“Electro”) as “Astro’s Father” Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“Shootout In The Alps”) as “Astro’s Father” Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“Ghost Manufacturing Machine”) as “Astro’s Father” Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“Fortress of the Centaurs”) as “Astro’s Father” Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“The Eyes of Christ”) as “Astro’s Father”<\/p>\n Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“Space Snow Leopard”) as “Astro’s Father” Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“The White-Hot Being”) as “Astro’s Father” Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“Robot Land”) as “Astro’s Father”<\/p>\n Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“The Devil\u2019s Balloons”) as “Astro’s Father”<\/p>\n Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“The Greatest Robot on Earth”) as “Astro’s Father” Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“Roboids”) as “Astro’s Father” Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“Astro Boy Reborn”) as “Astro’s Father” Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“Beginning of the Contradiction”) as “Astro’s Father”<\/p>\n Astro Boy<\/a><\/em> (“The Man Who Returned from Mars”) as “Astro’s Father”<\/p>\nNotable\u00a0Roles<\/h3>\n
