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

Bongo’s name is identical in both English and Japanese. \u00a0It has no special meaning, other than seeming appropriate for a boy raised in the jungle’s of South America.<\/p>\n

Distinguishing Features<\/h3>\n

This jungle-boy hero is recognizable by his three-pronged, backward hair sweep and distinctive bang curl.<\/p>\n

Status: Primary Star (\u2605\u2605\u2605)<\/h3>\n

As the star of his own series, Bongo is a Tarzan-like character based in the Amazon Jungle rather than deepest, darkest Africa. \u00a0Raised by animals, and a descendant of the Incans, Bongo protects his jungle home from those who come seeking the treasures of his fore-fathers.<\/p>\n

Notable Roles<\/h3>\n

Although his main appearance is in his own titular series, Bongo<\/em> (1961), he has also been spotted in The Strange Boy<\/em> (1961-62) as well as a cameo in Astro Boy<\/em> (1952-68)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
