Y… it’s the second last letter in the English alphabet.<\/p>\n
Professor “Y” can be spotted by his oval-shaped nose and the two large tufts of hair that stck out from his long-ish face, giving him the distinct appearance of the letter “Y”.<\/p>\n
Professor “Y” is the original environmentalist. A firm believer in the natural world, he sees the beauty in nature and animals, and he’s not above a little criminal activity to see them preserved.<\/p>\n
Professor “Y” made his stage debut as Professor Felini, the environmental activist who faked his own death and reincarnation as the titular cat in the Astro Boy<\/em> (1952-68)<\/a> chapter, “Red Cat<\/a>” (1953). He has also made a few appearances in Black Jack<\/em> (1973-83)<\/a> as well as a memorable appearance in The Rainbow Parakeet<\/em> (1981-82)<\/a> as Master Ushizawa, the original owner of the pantomine dog, Tamasaburo, that the Rainbow Parakeet inherits after his death.<\/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> (\u201cRed Cat<\/a>\u201d) as \u201cProfessor Felini”<\/p>\n Black Jack<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u201cHot Night\u201d) as \u201c<\/p>\n The Rainbow Parakeet<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u201cIntermission<\/a>\u201c)\u00a0as “Master Ushizawa”<\/p>\n Black Jack<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u201cAssembly Line Care\u201d) as \u201c Professor “Y” is the original environmentalist.
