List of Astro Boy characters
This is a list of characters from the manga and anime series Astro Boy created by Osamu Tezuka, including the 1963, 1980, and 2003 adaptations.
Mighty Atom / Astro Boy (dub) (アトム, Atomu)
The robot boy fashioned after the deceased son of Dr. Tenma, the head of the Ministry of Science in the year 2000. Aside from possessing the strength of 100,000 horsepower (later 1,000,000, though these numbers often fluctuate between stories) and the kind personality of a child, he has what are called his "seven amazing powers": jet-powered flight, multilingualism, analytical skills, headlight eyes, super-sensitive hearing, hidden weapons in his back, and the ability to tell if a person is good or evil. In addition, he has a built-in Geiger counter and shortwave communication system.
Dr. Hiroshi Ochanomizu / Dr. Packidermus J. Elefun (1963, 1980 dub) / Dr. O'Shay (2003 dub) (お茶の水博志博士, Ochanomizu Hiroshi-hakase)
The present head of the Ministry of Science and a fearless campaigner for robotic rights, who believes that humans and robots can co-exist peacefully, unlike most other human characters in the series (particularly Tenma). He is the adoptive father figure and mentor of Astro Boy, whom he recognizes as unique from other robots, following his abandonment by Tenma and is physically characterized by portly stature and cartoonishly large nose, with his English name being an allusion to the latter.
Ochanomizu is responsible for the creation of Astro's sister Uran and his brother and predecessor Cobalt (who only appears in the first animated series). Somewhat eccentric by nature, he tends to be excitable when faced by a scientific mystery, particularly when his opinions are questioned by his scientific colleagues.
The name "Ochanomizu" translates to "Tea Water", and is also a neighborhood in Tokyo. In Atom: The Beginning, Hiroshi Ochanomizu has a sister called Ran, while in the manga Pluto he is shown to be a widower with a granddaughter. The character was voiced by Bill Nighy in the English-language film.
Dr. Umatarō Tenma / Dr. Astor Boynton II (dub) / Dr. Taro Tenma (2003 dub) (天馬午太郎博士, Tenma Umatarō-hakase)
