Rokkaku<\/em> means “Hexagonal” in Japanese.<\/p>\n You can usually spot Rokkaku by his wide jawline, thick glasses and pimply face.<\/p>\n Rokkaku is the consummate traditional Japanese student. A little absent-minded and slow on the uptake, likely because of all the hours he spends hunched over a desk, he’s usually given the role of someone’s “friend from school” or some other kind of nondescript man-in-the-crowd. When he’s not playing the role of a B-level student, his roles tend towards teachers or some other official with a modest level of authority.<\/p>\n Rokkaku made his subtle debut in Next World<\/em> (1951) as of of the residents of the tenement. Although he’s never had a starring or recurring role, he’s popped up as Shibugaki<\/a>‘s classmate in the Astro Boy<\/em> (1952-68)<\/a> chapter “Electro”<\/i>. He was also one of the teachers, along with Noracula<\/a>, in Microid S<\/em> (1973).<\/p>\n If you spot an appearance not already listed, please let us know in the comments section below!<\/p>\n Next World<\/em>\u00a0as “one of the tenement residents”<\/p>\n A Man From Mars<\/em><\/p>\n Astro Boy<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(“Electro”)\u00a0as “a student at Shibugaki<\/a>‘s house”<\/p>\n Pin Pin Sei-chan<\/em><\/p>\n Flying Ben<\/em>\u00a0as “a man in the neighborhood”<\/p>\n Microid\u00a0S<\/em>\u00a0as “a teacher”<\/p>\n Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (\u201cBurned Doll\u201d) as “a\u00a0doctor”<\/p>\n The Three-Eyed One<\/em><\/a> (“Bolbock, the Monstrous Plant”)<\/p>\n Black Jack<\/em><\/a> (\u201cThere Were Two Films\u201d) as “the man talking to the reporters” Rokkaku is the consummate traditional Japanese student.
