Hina is a fairly petite and dainty girl in build with  short aqua blue hair that transitions into purple then pink with bangs that are long enough to frame her face while there are short bangs hanging on the right side of her face and blue eyes.
She wears a pink shirt with a white cloak buttoning at her neck and trailing behind her. Her hat is black with a flat brim and a flower decorating the side of it with a red ribbon.

Hina is easily pinned for being naive. Sheltered as a child and only living with her mother at the time rendered her easily trusting others and being ignorant of the evils in the world. She is also slow to understanding social norms she was raised without.
Hina is a very whole-hearted girl who wishes to protect those her faith is in. She is devoid of cruelty and loathes seeing it and being unable to put a stop to it. Though she is physically unable to, her intention and willingness to put herself in harm's way to prevent others from getting hurt are exceedingly high.
She is very driven and once she puts her mind to something, she keeps to it. However, she is rather timid and gets flustered easily. Hina is very in touch with her emotions and cries freely despite what others may think. There is no shame in her being empathetic and sensitive, ultimately. She knows deep down what morals she holds onto.
Right before she left the past to come back to the present time, Hina first confessed her love by kissing a devastated Licht (his past self), and she then promised him, if he doesn't crumble down until they meet again (i.e. 300 years later) she would bear his children and never let him be alone. Back in the present, she started to openly show her love for him and become very adamant to fulfill the promise of bearing Licht's children, to the point that she uses almost every opportunity to try to seduce him, sometimes not even caring about her surroundings. She even tries to "attack" him on the toilet as it's the place where he's most defenseless.

Saki had light brown hair and wore the military uniform.

Saki first appeared in Chapter 13, along with other people who wants to become soldier, she attended at the enrollment ceremony of the training school . When Schmelman Bach reading his storybook, along with Akui Genji and Suda Kyouhei , Saki laughed at him by saying they aren't kid so they don't need to listen a children story. Soon, Alexandrov Grigorovich took out his gun and "killed" them. After awhile, the three of them woke up and realized the blood on their faces was actually just a paint. Alexandrov reveals that the reason why they do this is so the newbies won't be scared at battlefield, which the trio apologies the instructors for their behavior earlier.
On the first day of school, every student received two stars and were told that: every day at 18:00 (6:00 PM) they should check the number of stars each students possessed. Any student with 10 stars is enlisted into the army and will receive extra payment/food rations, while those that have less than 10 stars would be expelled from the school. Every students of the Class A, with the exception of Sakai Rihito due to a special task, they all received their stars from their instructor Schmelman. During the class, Saki realized her stars was lost so she asks everyone if they know who stolen her stars, which soon revealed it was Douan Taketora that stolen her stars. Later on at 18:00 PM, along with other students, Saki regained her stars from Rihito who brought the stolen stars back from Taketora without him noticing.
A few weeks later, Schmelman informed Class A about a peeping incident, which there's a certain person who always peeping the woman's bath every single night. Later, when Rihito enters the supposedly "woman's bath", he realized that it's actually man's bath and captured by the girls. Saki explains that it's Pele Poporo 's idea for switching both bath's names, as he already knew Rihito is the culprit from the beginning. Later, when Jail Murdoch went unconscious after leaved the woman's bath, Rihito tried to run away but he was captured by Alexandrov. Because of him captured the culprits, Alexandrov punishing all Class A students by running outside. During the punishment, along with most of the girls, Saki kicking Rihito and blaming him for their punishment.

Schmelman telling Saki that forming "Non-Killing Army" is possible

A few weeks after the culprit was revealed to be Rihito and the class receives a punishment, the Class A is still doing their punishment due to Rihito keep peeping the woman's bath. Because of this, Alexandrov stated he will give them a "prize" for doing their punishment everyday, which soon revealed to be Forest Survival trip. During the trip, Rihito told the girls there's a river around the forest, the girls were happy and went to drinks it's water but Rihito made a trap to cause them fall into the river. The girls soon realized his true intention that he wants to see their underwear and covers their body, although they soon went back to the forest without covering their body, which Rihito found it odd. The girls explains they don't care since Rihito already seen them a lot of times, and that they must not afraid about it as gender doesn't matter in the battlefield. Soon, when Saki tried to tame off her bra, Rihito gives his uniform for her to cover her body and asking everyone if they really wanted to become soldiers. Saki and the others stated that they must kill their enemies in order to protect their friends and family, or else their family members all died instead. Then, Schmelman appeared and said that they can form the " Non-Killing Army " while they can still becomes a soldier. While the Class A was happy, Saki asks him if that's even possible and he answers with yes, as long as Class A really want to do so. With this, Class A decide to form the "Non-Killing Army" under Schmelman's suggestion.
After the Forest Survival trip has ended, Class A's training is finally started. Schmelman stated that he won't train them as hard as Alexandrov and revealed that the culprit who peeped on women's bath on the first day, is actually not Rihito but Schmelman himself as he wanted to know their talent, which angered Saki and she was about to punch him before he dodged her punch. Soon, he gives Class A weapons that suit them. After the explanation, Schmelman told Class A try to hit him in a training battle. Although nobody except Lyne Mei able to hit him, the training has begun. Tokikaze was told by Schmelman to draw his sword much father than a light.

Saki cries at Genji's injury as the Abandonment War started

Saki and other students keep doing their training for a few months, until Davi was killed by the terrorists. In the next day, Class A received news about Rihito will receives a surgery to gains superhuman strength. Saki is shocked at this news and worries about Rihito, because if the surgery failed he will die. After Schmelman's genes successful injected into Rihito's body, the Class A students was glad that the surgery went well. Soon, the training school received a surprise attack from United Nations Forces. The soldiers from United Nations Forces entered the school by force and tried to kill Saki and the other girls, but the girls was saved by Genji protect them by took several gunshots. After Genji's fall, the soldiers attempted to rape the girls but they were soon saved by Sakai Tokikaze and Jail. Alexandrov then told everyone to hiding inside the school. While hiding inside the school, the girls was scared and traumatized from the events earlier. Alexandrov told them not to worry and claims the reinforcement will arrive soon. However, the United Nations Force used nuclear bomb to destroys the garrison, so there won't be any reinforcement sent to help the school. This only gave the girls some hopelessness.
While the enemies still launching their attacks, Alexandrov told the remaining survivors to leave the school as soon as possible. However, as the enemies had taken over the courtyard, Tokikaze has no choice but to faces United Nations Forces while gives other students a chance to run away. Before they could do so, Saki was captured by the enemy sergeant . Because of this, Tokikaze and the others was all captured by the enemies as well. The sergeant realized that they're trainee soldiers and he found their fighting skills impressive. Due to this, the sergeant decided to become their "teacher" and teaches them what will happen when one of their friends killed in front of them. When the sergeant is about to kill Saki, Genji went to save her and begging him not to kill her, as he was in-love with her and wanted to become her knight to protect her. The sergeant "agreed" his request and attacked Genji instead, stated that he won't kill her until Genji died first.

Rihito protects Saki while he gives his enemies their punishment

Whrn Rihito arrived at the courtyard, he notice the half naked females kneeling by the soldiers. The girls tried to play it off telling him not to worry, and trying to laugh, but Saki started to break and was almost in tears. Rihito ran up and hugged Saki as she cried. Full of rage, he looked at the sergeant of the soldiers and asked, "What were you trying to do to my comrades?" The sergeant pointed his gun at Rihito, but being slow, Rihito knocked out all the soldiers. When everyone celebrates over Rihito's "victory", Genji told everyone that he's still alive and felt sadden at how Saki ignored him even after he risked his own life to save her. Saki then apologies Genji for ignoring him and says she will shake his hand as a reward for saving her, which makes Genji happy. As Class A having their conversation, the enemies stand up and drops their clothes, which revealed they have explosives covering their body but Rihito destroyed the controller. Then, the enemy sergeant stated that they had placed a nuclear bomb in somewhere in the school (Although later it's revealed to be a lie). After the enemy sergeant finished the war teaching for the Class A, he stated he will activate the nuclear bomb in 10 seconds. Seeing how hopeless the situation was, Tokikaze decided to kill the soldiers by himself, but due to his grandmother's promise, Rihito stopped him and he killed the soldiers instead. As Rihito run away, Jail and the others told Class A that it's time for them go back to their future and disappeared.
During the Abandonment War, Licht (Rihito's current name) was slowly losing his sanity. Because of this, Saki and the other girls trying to reach him via his perverted side. They walked up and showed him their underwear, where he got up and walked away. Sumiya Asumi cried and stated the old Licht has gone, but Saki tried to reason that the reason he didn't react was because it was the lingerie, that if they found the lingerie he really liked, he would return to the person he was. After that, Saki keep trying to wear several different lingerie in hope to regain Licht his sanity but none of them ever works. When Licht started wearing mask to hide his emotion, along with other Class A students went to request the instructors for the surgery, so that Licht won't handling the war all by himself. Although Saki herself wasn't chosen to become the Red Baron .
In the last day of the Abandonment War, the Class A has been abandoned by the instructors and make them stay on the land which later known as the "Abyss". Tokikaze tried to stolen a Ballot from them and find the Class A to inform them what's happening. However, the instructors sent Licht to kill Tokikaze and take back the Ballot. As Licht "killed" Tokikaze, he regained his sanity and feel despair, due to the fact he killed his adoptive brother by his own hands. As Licht having a breakdown for his adoptive brother's "death", Saki looking at him while crying.
In the previous timeline, after the end of the Abandonment War, Class A, including Saki herself, decided to commit suicide to support the children of the Abyss. Before they left, the Class A wrote a latter for unconscious Tokikaze that they will commit suicide so the children can fill their stomach, and that they need him to watch over the children once he finally awaken.
However, after Hina time travelled back to the past for one last time via Nana Bassler 's ability, she changed the Class A's fate by having them eat the Red Baron's Drug so they won't commit suicide for the children and lived for over 300 years. During these times, the Class A took their times to learn and master their new powers just so they could help Licht and the others 300 years later.

Jail has short icy blue hair and a long streak of black that matches the color of his iron. His eyes are also a blue color. Jail is seen wearing his military uniform, a pair of white gloves and his signature glasses.

Jail is very detail-oriented, making him a potent soldier and a capable combatant. His conviction is the key component of his personality and ends up being a driving force of his character development. This eventually leads him to make decisions based on his deep-seated sense of justice.
At a glance, Jail appears to be asexual and very career oriented. For instance, he has been in a situation where he was within close proximity to naked female bodies and he casually told them to "lose weight" [1] . However, it is during the time travel plot when things seem to change, in terms of Jail's reaction towards a particular character.

Post-300 years Licht does not differ much from himself before the war, other than his long white hair and taller height. His eyes are crimson and his skin is fair, though his looks are not uncommon among others. He had dark blue eyes and black hair before he became a Baron.
He hides his face under masks of all designs. They are typically classic Japanese Theatrical masks, known as Noh . He sometimes even adorns costumes to appear unassuming, such as a pudding cup with his sword re-purposed into the guise of a spoon.
His usual attire consists of a red garb draped over his shoulders with armor underneath and jet-powered boots. Although it is unknown if the boots are still functional. On the back of his hand is his count. It's an astonishing count of -999 at the start of the series.
During his first appearance, Licht has messy, mid-back length hair that was cut shorter mid-fight and a Noh mask which was also destroyed during his fight with Davi .

Code "001" shown in his left eye

At certain moments, a number code "001" can be seen in Licht’s left eye. [3] [4] Although it's yet to be confirmed, this is most likely his identification code from the Aerial Ace Project. This code can also be seen in the other Barons as well. Tokikaze is 002 and Taketora is 003. This code represents the order in which they were made into Barons.
Later, during the final war between Althea Royal Guard and Special Service , Licht's hair color changed back to black as a result of combined both Schmelman's genes and his own into one.

He is enigmatic as far as intentions go. He does his best to conceal that he is a Baron, but his overwhelming power and inability to allow others to suffer causes him to reveal himself often.
He's also shamelessly perverted and needy in an almost comical way. He could be considered mischievous upon first meeting. He is used to girls denying him and being hated, facing the truth with a stone face.
When he takes on the true power of his Ballot, his personality shifts to an unwavering bloodlust and desire to kill all enemies.

As a child, Nana wore her hair in braids and used a bunny and turtle band to tie her hair. The turtle and bunny tie might have something to do with Schmelman 's stories as this was one of the recurring stories he told, or it may have something to do with Licht 's ability.

Under one of her knees is a simple black cuff and she boosts her height a bit with black, Mary-Jane style kitten heels. Stuffed into her belt is a pair of shackles to dangle at her hips.
The count of 77 on her left breast is fake. Her original count is under her left eye. In her original count's absence, a beauty mark is more prominent than before.

Nana is a kind woman, but it is not her defining trait as she is visibly stern and unafraid of holding her own via carrying herself with respect and dignity. She is more well rounded than those around her, making her to appear seemingly ordinary and more relatable.
Her class and knowledgeable attitude is more than what a mobile bar owner leads onto be.

However, his inability to tell Brianna directly leads to her feeling cheated when she finds out the truth.
In an attempt to impress Brianna before she goes on a space mission, he rewires part of the rocket's system to project congratulatory flowers and dancing chibi versions of himself. This unfortunately triggers the rocket's auto-pilot and disables the guidance system. Astro is able to chip in help in time, and Anton comes out of it with a hope to further refine his inventions.

Tezuka was a lifelong fan of Disney and he drew many of his early characters with the overall style in mind. Astro, of course, was one of said characters with the simplistic 'cartoony' designs akin to the producer's works. An example of this would be the two spikes on his head going in alternating directions that don't change, regardless of any camera angle, similarly to the ears of Disney's most popular character, Mickey Mouse.
One of Astro's most defining features are his eyes, especially in the anime series due to the use of limited animation. His eyes were designed to be fully reactive to light and feel dynamic. This would become a very common design aspect in anime and manga characters that would follow. The use of the eyes in this manner allowed the facial expressions to use less animation yet seem more real.
Additionally, he has a simplistic set of eyelashes, drawn as 5 short lines coming out of his eyelids. In some iterations, they tends to alternate between the simple and more realistic-looking lashes.

Astro was created in the image of Tobio Tenma therefore he inherited his basic personality traits. Due to Tobio being a child when he died, Astro has inherited his same childlike innocence including his childlike naivety, Astro by nature has a strong sense of justice and for deciding what is right and wrong. Mostly a pacifist, Astro will not stray from using force if he has no choice, although he always tries to solve situations diplomatically. Astro is incredibly protective of family and friends and will often risk his own life to protect them from harm.
Astro is selfless, brave and kindhearted. He has a deep love for humanity, in spite of the many hardships he may face. At the end of both the 1960s anime series and Astro Boy: Omega Factor , he willingly sacrificed himself in order to save humanity from certain doom (although in the latter, he was brought back to life).
Astro's most complicated relationship is with his own creator Umataro Tenma. Although, he was treated with love and care by Tenma in the beginning, the grief left over after the death of his son Tobio took control causing Tenma to accept that a robot could not be an adequate replacement for his flesh and blood human child. Due to this realization, Tenma slowly begins to lose his sanity and in some adaptations resorts to drinking, he begins to treat Astro poorly and even becomes outright hostile towards him leaving him stuck in dangerous situations. In most adaptations Astro is eventually sold to Hamegg's Robot Circus by Tenma and although Tenma feels legitimate remorse for his actions, fails to reconnect with Astro who mostly tries to avoid him however, in some instances tries to forgive him which results in Ochanomizu typically going out of his way to stop such a reunion.


Pluto

Astro II has the same appearance as the original Astro: his hair is black and metallic, with two sharp spikes. He predominantly wears a green belt, black shorts, and red boots. However, he carries himself much more sloppily and laidback than the original Astro.


Pluto

In his first appearance, Atlas has a simple, streamlined body without much detail. He resembled a young teenage boy, relatively close to Astro's age. On his head are several black pistons that resemble bantu knots, a Black hairstyle that originated in Zulu. [2] Much like Astro he is capable of flight, but the means that he does so differ between adaptations. In the manga, Atlas has a small jet turbine mounted on his lower back, which allows him to fly through the air, and also use as a defensive weapon similar to Astro's rear-mounted machine guns. In the 1963 anime series however, this jet turbine is absent, and he instead possesses a pair of retractable jets on the sides of his neck.


Pluto

Bacon Egg is a tall, gangly, skinny middle-aged man. He has slick black hair that curls at the back of his neck, and a curled mustache. In the arena, he wears a white tuxedo with pink accents, a matching top hat, and pointed black sunglasses.
Bacon Egg also strongly resembles how Hamegg looks in many regular Astro Boy series. Given that Bacon is his father, this implies Hamegg's looks are at least partially hereditary.

In the arena, Bacon has a bold and captivating stage persona. He is able to keep up with the moment-by-moment action of the robot tournaments, giving his audience constant commentary.
His thoughts on AI robots are mixed. He has empathy for some of the more humanized robots, such as U-Ran, but enjoys general robot violence. Bacon sees the carnage as something that's necessary to entertain an audience. However, after being rescued by North, Bacon seems to have a very slight change of heart.


Pluto

As a recycled robot, Belligerent has a patchwork appearance; he is mostly comprised of gray, green, pink, and purple chunks of metal. His arms are cannons with four barrels in place of fingers. Belligerent has one blue-green eye in the centre of his body.


Pluto

Bem is an androgynous humanoid robot made on a planet named Nicoro. They appear slightly older than Astro, and were designed to look similar to the cherubim of Renaissance Era art . They have fluffy blonde hair, which is moulded with slicked-back bangs and two long, feathered wings. These wings also allow Bem to fly, and they have been mistaken for an angel while flying through the air. In their original manga appearance, Bem is completely nude, and visibly lacks any secondary sex characteristics. In the 1963 anime, however, they wear a white undergarment similar Astro's shorts.

Bem disguised as a human girl
Bem's body was adapted from a female android body, giving them an overall feminine appearance. Their body is plain and streamlined; it has a particular shine that gives Bem the illusion as if they are glittering or glowing.
In the 2001 Kyoto Anime Theatre short [1] , Bem is much more humanlike in appearance. They wear a metallic grey jumpsuit with heavy shoulders and red stripe details. Bem's hair is flexible: if Bem is happy, the sides of their hair point upwards. If upset, Bem's hair relaxes, resembling a pageboy cut. Much like their manga and 1963 anime self, Bem's hair can then extend in length when they need to fly.
In the series Go Astro Boy Go! , Bem is reimagined as a male robot named "Cosmo Boy". Cosmo Boy retains the characteristic wing-like hair of his previous incarnations, but it is now white rather than gold or blonde, and he has yellow eyes. He also wears yellow elbow-length gloves, white knee-length boxers, and yellow boots that resemble Astro's.

As a newly-made robot, Bem is naive, and they can be stubborn and emotional. However, they are benevolent and kind by nature. Bem was especially horrified to learn about their hidden power, which caused them to flee Nicoro in hopes of avoiding an explosive death. Unfortunately, Bem does not fully understand how their powers work yet.
Bem is also very fond of Astro. Since Astro was the first person to treat Bem as an equal and not a weapon, they come to trust him almost immediately. When Astro attempts to contain Bem, they do not hesitate to fight back, but soon regret hurting their first friend.


Pluto

Black Jack is a tall Japanese man somewhere in his late 20s to mid-30s. He has scruffy hair that is mostly black, save for a large patch that has prematurely greyed. His body is covered with dozens of large scars; these come from from the lifesaving reconstructive surgery he received as a child from Dr. Honma. Black Jack dresses in heavy formal clothing much of the time, even wearing ascots and vests while resting at home. He leans into his notoriety as an unlicensed doctor, dressing in black and driving black cars, and has an imposing, gothic overall appearance.
In some older art, Black Jack's skin patch is coloured blue. This is a case similar to Skunk Kusai , who sometimes appears with blue skin so as to make him look more striking and haunting. Canonically, Black Jack's face patch is brown, and comes from a skin donation he received as a child. A large patch of skin had to be replaced on Kuroo's face after the land mine accident, and his Afro-Japanese friend Takashi volunteered for a skin donation. In the years since, Black Jack has never attempted to have the skin replaced out of respect for his childhood friend's kindness.

Black Jack is smug but charismatic. He is as stubborn as he is gifted, which is exactly what cost him his medical license: when he was in medical school, Black Jack's classmate and lover Kei Kisaragi (formerly Megumi) was diagnosed with late stage ovarian cancer. Their superiors claimed Kisaragi's cancer was too far gone to operate on, but Black Jack, confident that he could save Kisaragi, defied their orders and operated on him anyway. Kisaragi's life was saved, but Black Jack's medical license was immediately revoked. Regardless, he continued to hone his craft as a doctor.
Black Jack's outward ego and image are a cover-up for years of childhood trauma. Born as Kuroo Hazama, he was a normal child until he and his mother Mio went to a beach, where they stepped on an abandoned, undetonated IED land mine. Mio was killed while Kuroo needed intense full-body surgery, and instead of supporting the family, Kuroo's father Kagemitsu instead chose to abandon them and remarry. Throughout the series, Black Jack tries to deal with his resentment towards his father and step family.
The only person who can get under Black Jack's skin almost as badly as his father is Dr. Kiriko . The two have starkly opposing views on life and death, and have competed to save vs. euthanize a patient. Elsewhere, Black Jack is fiercely loyal to those he lets close to him, such as Pinoko and his mentor Dr. Honma . Honma was also the one who reconstructed and rehabilitated Black Jack after his childhood accident.


Pluto

The Blue Knight is a bipedal humanoid robot. He is especially tall and strong in stature, standing taller than even some of the tallest humans in Astro's world. He is covered in thick blue metal plating that resembles armor, and has a slick, close-fitting helmet with wide wings on either side, similar to ancient Roman winged helmets . One of the few organic pieces of his outfit is his long fabric cloak.
As a civilian, Blue Bon has short, dark blue hair with thick bangs and sideburns. He is tall and bulky, resembling a brawny human man in his late 20s. Blue Bon is not as tall as his Blue Knight self, implying his armour makes him look stronger and taller, or that he has made alterations to his robot body after becoming the Blue Knight.

Blue Knight is prejudice towards all humans due to his past experience with them, refusing to communicate or listen to anyone and is hostile towards those that have harmed other robots. He also feels no remorse if humans are killed in his attacks nor does he hesitate to destroy other robots who oppose him including. Despite his views, he is not heartless, and was willing to work with Astro Boy to save humans on multiple occasions, though usually only if fellow robots were in peril as well.


Pluto

Blues is a tall, stocky black man around Skunk's age. He has blonde-dyed hair, with a matching bleached mustache and beard, and Blues usually wears small round sunglasses and flashy jewelry. He always wears a long black trench coat, matching slacks, and a red button-up shirt with the collar popped up. Blues is the tallest member of the group, and can usually be seen watching over Skunk or Jazz .

Blues works under Skunk, and alongside Jazz as a partner. He can most often be seen working alongside Jazz, and the two communicate like good friends and equals.
Blues is the largest member of Skunk's gang, and also the one who speaks the least. He only adds remarks alongside his cohorts or asks questions when he finds it necessary. He is the most passive member of the group, usually letting Skunk or Jazz take the lead in schemes and following along to help. In Jumbo Revived , he is visibly nervous about piloting Jumbo against the heavily-armed police, hinting that he is more used to low key underground crime. He tolerated Denkou , but was openly irritated upon finding out they had talked to Astro.

Blues afraid in Jumbo's control centre

His main role among Skunk's group is as backup muscle, occasionally working with computers and driving their vehicles. In Old Dog, New Tricks , his pockets are emptied by a super magnet, and it is revealed that Blues carries a pocket knife for close range self-defense.


Pluto

Brianna is a human in her early 20s, with fluffy blonde hair and green eyes. She is tall and lithe, but still slightly athletic. She usually wears her academy's uniforms and flight suits, but on occasion, has worn feminine modest casual clothing.

Brianna is a highly skilled and intelligent student at the space academy. She can come off as an airhead, but that is only because she is almost always thinking hard about her studies. She aspires to one day be an astronaut and engineer.

Brianna, unaware of Astro's love-induced system overload
In the original Japanese version, Brianna finds Astro adorable and treats him like a little brother, but still maintains a polite and formal tone with him. However, in the English dub, she is strangely changed to be more coy, with some of her lines altered to seem like she is flirting with Astro.


Pluto

Burg is a white European man aged somewhere his 50s. He has short, slicked-back black hair, with a goatee and a pointed mustache. He wears formal western clothing, such as three-piece suits, top hats, and bow ties. He smokes cigarettes, but only via a long cigarette holder .
Burg's eyes usually look sharp and narrowed, with prominent bags under his eyes. He has a weak left eye and needs a monocle to see. He is relatively tall and well-built, standing about a foot taller than Professor Ochanomizu .

While Count Burg puts on a calm, classy demeanour, it is all a cover for his cruel personality. Dr. Ross and his children first meet the "gentle" Burg who comes to ask for Maria 's hand in marriage. He is charismatic enough to convince the whole family that he is a good man, to the point where Dr. Ross is in disbelief when Maria tells him about Burg's true nature.
In reality, Count Burg is a cruel, ruthless braggart. He has immense disposable wealth and military ties. When describing his resources, Burg claims to own "eight castles, nine mountains, and three resorts"; in Japanese, this combination of numbers can be read as "ya + ku + za" (八 + 九 + 三), as in yakuza , the infamous Japanese crime syndicates. Burg will hurt as many people and robots as it takes to get his way.
It is unclear if Burg genuinely loves Maria. He finds her beautiful and recognizes her as his wife, even after Maria has been amalgamated into Blue Bon's body. However, this does not stop him from killing the siblings with Blue Knight's own spear.


Pluto

Chiitan is roughly the size of a human infant. He is built with similar features as his siblings, specifically pointed black hair: he has one point on the back of his head. Chiitan is still learning to walk, and so he crawls much like a human baby. He wears onesie suits with long thick sleeves.
An adaptation of Chiitan appears in Jetter Mars as the titular character's brother, Melchi.

Chiitan was created to be a comic relief character, giving Cobalt a break from being the comic relief in so many stories. Chiitan has a tendency to be rambunctious for a baby, and can act fierce if he doesn't get his way. He has some super strength, and is able to cry at extremely high volumes. At times, his bawling is loud enough to shatter glass and cause tremors.


Pluto

Cobalt bears a strong resemblance to his younger brother, Astro. He has black, pointed hair and dresses in very minimal clothing, wearing red knee-high boots, shiny black athletic shorts, and a green belt. However, he is noticeably taller, slimmer and older-looking than Astro, and his hair spikes point straighter upward. His facial features are also different, with a wider, more upturned nose and smaller eyes with less prominent eyelashes.


Pluto

Cora is a 13-year-old East Asian human girl. [1] She tends to dress in a punk style, and has short black hair in jagged cuts with pink streaks. She dresses in layered clothing with muted colours and soft patterns.

Cora is spunky and resourceful. As the oldest among Hamegg's children, she is the surrogate older sister of the kids, and looks out for them. She tends to act as the makeshift leader when the children go out searching for robot parts.
Cora has some trust issues, stemming from her past as a runaway. She is hurt when she finds out Astro lied about being a robot boy, but soon forgives him after understanding he's still a child close to her own age. Cora was not intended by the film's director to be Astro's romantic interest, but rather, a "foil character" [2] and best friend.


Pluto

Lord Deadcross is a tall, imposing human man who appears to be somewhere in his 40s. At all times, he is dressed in full military regalia. He wears a Roman-style galea helmet with a long crest made of white fur. His face is mostly obscured, leaving only his mouth, chin, and some of his nose exposed. In many series, this is not Deadcross's true face; he wears heavy prosthetics and heeled boots to disguise his strong resemblance to Rag.
In the 1980 series, Deadcross's uniform and helmet are slightly altered. The sides of his helmet taper down to the back of his neck, and he wears a long coatee tunic. This gives him a strong resemblance to Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam . The character and anime originally debuted in 1979, and were tremendously popular around the time of the 1980 anime's release.

Lord Deadcross is cruel and vengeful. He considers himself superior to most others, and will stop at nothing to get his way. Despite his bravado, Deadcross is secretly a disorganized and immature politician. He is Rag's true creator, but Deadcross only intended for Rag to be a tool in handling Deadcross's work duties. He sees Rag's success as a personal insult and a callout to his own shortcomings.


Pluto

Delta is a bipedal humanoid robot. He is especially tall and strong in stature, built as a typical strongman-style utility robot. He is covered in armour that also serves as his regular uniform: a blue jacket with wide shoulderpads, white bodysuit, navy blue boots, and gret utility belt and detailing.
Delta's face is angular and humanoid, made of grey metals, and mounted securely to his neck. His eyes are yellow signal lights; they can either light up when needed, or scan and analyze his surroundings.

Delta is a true lawful good. He is stern and serious, having been designed to follow the law at all times, but he is still quite compassionate. When Astro first meets Delta, he is surprised to hear how strongly Delta believes only his squad is qualified to fight robot crime. Delta also immediately shoots down Astro's attempts to help them. This turns out to be because of Delta's instincts to follow the police rules, as well because of his pride as the squad leader.
Inspector Tawashi regularly works alongside Delta in the series. Delta regards Tawashi as his ally and colleague, but dislikes Tawashi's occasional derogatory remarks about robots.


Pluto

Denkou has the appearance and personality of a very young androgynous child, with fluffy bright green hair and a green caped jumpsuit.

Her family is part of a space colony project designed to study how human families can live in space. Her family is monitored by the Ministry of Science; while her life is part of a simulation, Emily's emotions and dreams are very much real.
Emily enjoys hearing her father's stories about the Blue Knight. When Katari kidnaps her parents, Emily immediately volunteers herself to the Blue Knight to become a super soldier.

Dr. Fooler is a short, stout man aged somewhere in his 50s to 60s. Due to his stature and baby-like face, Fooler looks much younger than he actually is. He is notably short, being only about as tall as Uran . He is balding, with one notably long, curly hair on the top of his head. Sometimes, if he is meant to be an especially mad scientist, the hair along the sides of his head will be scruffy and unkempt.
In spite of Fooler's juvenile appearance, he is always dressed professionally. He usually dresses in formal attire, such as three-piece suits and cravats, and in bright white lab coats. He will often use large canes and walking sticks that are taller than him.

Dr. Fooler is Tezuka's least threatening villain by design [1] . As bombastic as he is, Fooler seems completely unaware of his stature and appearance. He is very confident, very self-assured, and his own worst enemy because of it.
Fooler is a talented scientist when he puts his mind to it. Otherwise, his creations are poorly-conceived and prone to causing disaster. He does have a limit to the chaos he likes to cause, and will reluctantly ask for help in fixing his schemes.


Pluto

Frankenstein generally resembles a streamlined robotic version of Dr. Frankenstein's monster. He is tall, barrel-chested, and clad in dark full-body clothing, with two bolts on either side of his face. Frankenstein is crafted with a stoic, serious face; this gives him an intimidating appearance, despite how he is a brand new, impressionable robot.

In most versions, Frankenstein is overpowered but benevolent. The circumstances around his creation are unknown, but he was likely produced as an interpretation of Dr. Frankenstein's Monster. He has limited AI and relies on input and commands from other robots or humans.


Pluto

Gideon resembles an organic dolphin, having the same shape and features. He is light blue and yellow with red markings. He has large, expressive eyes with streamlined eyelashes.

Reno programmed Gideon with kokoro so Gideon would be able to feel self-preservation, due to the dangerous work he was built to do. Gideon's constant awareness of his surroundings is both a blessing and a curse: he knows to avoid danger, but he is prone to panicking and swimming away.
After Reno tells him about the "Phantom Pirate" legend, Gideon is terrified of going on his deep sea mission. If his system takes any excess water, he gets hiccups until the water can be drained from his dorsal fin.


Pluto

Osamu Tezuka was inspired to create Hamegg from two sources, one being the villain of Milt Gross's He Done Her Wrong , and the Hungarian-German actor Peter Lorre. Hamegg has a very distinct round face, based on Lorre's, and a wide toothy grin, based on Gross's villain.
Most often, Hamegg is depicted as a lanky man in his 30s-40s, with a mustache and slicked-back black hair. On rare occasion he has been depicted with differently-coloured hair (dark green, Metropolis ) or even as a different ethnicity ( Jetter Mars ).

Hamegg can be best described as shady and slimy. He is often scheming, or helping others pursue their schemes. His most well-known Star System roles are as a crooked circus owner or as a mob henchman. Hamegg is generally motivated towards crime by a love of money and power. Despite this, he is also cowardly and easily frightened. He may be comfortable pushing Astro around, but has been intimidated by Dr. Ochanomizu and Skunk .
He often appears as a criminal alongside Lamp , Marukabi Boon , and Skunk , but Hamegg is the most meek and skittish out of the group.


Pluto

Hannah is a fair-skinned human girl between the ages of 10-12. She has dark brown hair in a hime cut and light green eyes. Hannah always wears very feminine, frilly English-style dresses and sweaters.


Pluto

Osamu Tezuka modelled Heck after American actor Tom Tyler, specifically his role as Luke Plummer in the film Stagecoach (1939). Heck has a long, narrow face and a heavy brow line, which has made him appear typecast as a villain. [3] He has striking blue eyes and is usually blonde.
He is not to be confused with Biwamaru , a different Star System character. These two have similar-shaped faces, but Biwamaru is much older and partially blind.


Pluto

Higeoyaji has a simple but iconic design: he is a short, portly middle-aged man, balding with a thick white mustache. This mustache is particularly the source of his nickname. Usually, Higeoyaji dresses in business casual style, such as sport coats and ties. He is said to speak with a Kansai accent .
During the "Once Upon a Time" manga arc, Astro meets Higeoyaji several decades in the past, when he was a very young man and just starting out as a teacher. He is still short and stocky, but now without a mustache, and black hair with jagged bangs.
In Atom: The Beginning , Higeoyaji appears as a teenaged version of himself, but now skinny and with a full head of brown hair. His uncle Kensaku Ban bears a strong resemblance to the adult Shunsaku Ban in other canons, implying A:TB Shunsaku will grow up to look just like him.

Shunsaku Ban is boisterous, opinionated, and outspoken. This is intimidating for many, but he's a fantastic ally for Astro . Like Professor Ochanomizu , Ban is a strong supporter of robot rights, and gladly invites Astro into his classroom. He is generally devoted to justice and protecting others' civil rights. If he catches someone attempting to wreak havoc or hurt someone else, Ban will not hesitate to come at them, fists swinging.
However, Ban's short temper doesn't always work in his favour. He tends to overreact or jump to conclusions very easily. He also has a bad habit of speaking too harshly.
His opinion on robots tends to vary in some adaptations. In most incarnations, he is depicted to be very openly supportive of robots having human rights, and warmly allows Astro to be a part of his class. In the 2003 anime however, he is initially portrayed as having a distrust for robots in general, but quickly warms up to them after Astro helps him solve a case.


Pluto

The Hyoutan-tsugi is said to be a small gourd [2] -like animal with a pig face. It is beige and made of two rounded shapes. The Hyoutan-tsugi's body tends to be covered in what appear to be sewn-on patches, implying it is wearing cloth, and it usually has bandages on its bare head.


Pluto

He is not to be confused with Pilat or Jazz , although the three are visually similar.


Pluto

Jake is a basic GP-IV model, which is a specialized humanoid labour robot. All GP-IV robots are of the same make and design, but their colours vary; Jake has green and silver "skin" with light blue fixtures. He is tall and wide, with bulky shoulders and arms, resembling a very strong human.
Jake's eyes are basic LED screens with round black irises, resembling the "pie-eyed" designs of 1930s cartoons . Within the iris is a line indicator that changes angle according to his mood. At the base of his neck are two rectangular sensors that resemble a butler's bow tie. Jake's mouth is a slim line that will light up on each word he says.

Jake is soft-spoken and kind. He keeps to himself, usually focusing on his work, and is very good at his duties. He fears General Red but enjoys Hannah's company, and likes to teach Hannah how to care for the flora and fauna of the estate's garden.
Jake also has a small apartment in the attic of the Red family manor. There, he keeps a small collection of books and items, most of which were gifted to him, and a potted plant that he closely takes care of.


Pluto

Jasper is a bipedal humanoid robot. He wears a helmet that resembles a grasshopper, with yellow bulbs and two sets of antennae. His plating resembles a human outfit, a belted tunic with pointy shoulder pads and tall boots. He is short, standing at approximately 1.5 metres. As the plant's spokesman and public face, he was designed to be the most human-like of the Hydra's robot crew.
Jasper's eyes are a very dark blue. In low light, his irises appear black, but in direct light they appear more clearly blue. His skin is off-white, and he has a red sensor in the centre of his forehead.

Despite his youthful appearance, Jasper is a smart and level-headed power plant foreman. He cares greatly about his crew and all guests to the power plant, and under his watch, the Hydra operates smoothly at all times.
Even though he mainly works with robots, Jasper has a strong instinct to protect humans. When Mr. Donner feigns sickness, Jasper immediately takes him to the medical bay, and stays by until he is sure the human is stable. Later on, Jasper risks his life in order to save Mr. Donner when he gets trapped under wreckage.

Jazz is mostly seen working alongside Skunk and Blues. Jazz treats Skunk with an enormous amount of respect, especially in the Japanese version, and treats Blues like a good friend and close partner.

Jazz, about to kidnap Ms. Midori

Jazz is possibly the most brutal member of Skunk's group, as evidenced by his willingness to shoot Wato in Old Dog, New Tricks , and how he shoves Denkou into a corner so he can yell at them. He openly hates Astro, and sees robots as nothing more than machines or tools for the benefit of humans.
Jazz collects guns, and is especially knowledgeable with their various functions. He has a particular interest in electronics and machinery, especially with customizing or jumpstarting them, and he often handles technical aspects for the gang. Jazz was primarily responsible for hijacking and reactivating Jumbo ; in the English dub, Jazz even adds a special program to Jumbo that allows him to bypass the robot-inhibiting Guardian System.


Pluto

Jump is a beige Australian Terrier. He has several dark brown spots on his ear, face, and back. He has a brown collar with a round silver ID tag.

Pluto

Katari is a tall, well-built human man, aged 28. He has sandy blonde hair, tan skin, and grey eyes. He is tall and strong in stature, which he utilizes in hand-to-hand combat. He is not to be confused with Rock or Ambassador Magma, whom are separate characters.

On the surface, Katari is an average, conventionally-attractive young man, but he is actually very manipulative and ruthless. His hatred of AI robots is so strong that he will lie, kill, or cause other acts of destruction. Katari's outspoken hatred is even how Astro first learns that humans can hate robots.
Despite his true hatred being toward robots, Katari is also particularly brutal towards his own kind. His strategies involves him willingly taking advantage of the trust or weakness of children and the elderly. He even attempts to kill Astro , Mimi , and her grandfather in order to keep his story straight. As devious as he is, Katari is equally impulsive. He has had some of his plots turn awry due to his own hot-headedness.

She is unafraid of talking on a casual level with her boss Hamegg, or even with the Chicago mafia don. Kathy initially doesn't want to work with Astro (whom she meets under the name of Tobio/Toby), assuming he'll be too much trouble alongside her other circus duties. However, she soon becomes very sympathetic towards him, treating Astro like a younger brother.
Kathy believes very much in Astro, to the point of betting Hamegg that she can train Astro to safely perform the 50,000 Volt Trapeze. She frequently steps in between Hamegg and Astro to prevent the boy from being beaten. Kathy later helps fake Astro's fatal explosion, and smuggles him away from the Robot Circus to help Astro escape with Dr. Ochanomizu. It is implied that she is still safely working with Hamegg and the Robot Circus.

Sankaku strongly resembles a Chinese stereotype from western media. While he was not originally designed to be Chinese, Tezuka begun depicting Sankaku with this cultural element in his later roles. In some series, such as the 1980 Astro Boy anime, Sankaku is given a full classical Chinese art motif.


Pluto

Pluto

The Light Ray Robot was made entirely out of a special material called PH Glass, making him only visible under polarized light. Light Ray was constructed for aesthetic appeal and to showcase the versatility of PH Glass. When lit up, he looked like an angelic blue boy in his early teens, with short hair, a belted jumpsuit, and tall boots.

Light Ray was childlike and naive, due to being sheltered and handled as a piece of artwork. This unfortunately led to him easily being lured away by Skunk and talked into performing crimes. Light Ray was even unaware that he was a robot, only realizing the difference between humans and adults after he and Astro briefly fight. Astro attempted to teach Light Ray the difference between good and evil acts, but this was impaired by Light Ray's inexperience with social norms. He could be very gullible and overly trusting.

When Atlas was activated, his power discharge accidentally destroyed Livian's original form, but she forgave Atlas after being restored. Atlas shared a very strong rapport with Livian, and would stay around her as much as possible, much to Skunk 's dismay. However, Livian accidentally knocked over an oversized gargoyle, breaking it, and Guiss decided to punish her by making her into an inanimate sculpture, much to her horror. Atlas was so disgusted by this that he chased Guiss out of the castle and off a cliff. Atlas then set forth rebuilding Livian and then himself.

Boon's design is very iconic, with his big eyes and noticeable bags underneath them. He most often has thick eyebrows and sideburns. He is a bulky, slightly chubby man of medium height.
Boon was also modelled after Franco-Italian actor Lino Ventura. While Acetylene Lamp 's design was retroactively inspired by Ventura, Boon was entirely modelled after the actor.

Munk, unmasked

Munk's characterization varies between the Japanese and English versions. In the Japanese version, Munk has a soft, effeminate voice, and his character is rather delicate. He believes in people's hearts, and claims his mask allows him to see the true character of others. In the English version, Munk has a deep cool-guy voice, and is casual and slick.

Unlike Tawashi, Nakamura is rather timid. He is the more rational of the duo and not prone to jump to conclusions, but due to Nakamura's soft-spoken nature, he often cannot get a word in edgewise while Tawashi rants. As Tawashi's superior, Nakamura does have the ability to rib on or correct Tawashi without incurring Tawashi's temper.


Pluto

When he was younger, Ochanomizu had a full head of black curly hair. In Atom: The Beginning , where he is 26 years old, he is much taller and skinnier than previous younger versions of himself.

Hiroshi Ochanomizu is an intelligent, caring man who is passionate about science. Though he is the current Minister of Science, he is tremendously humble. Ochanomizu strongly believes in robot rights and justice. He has often used his influence as the Minister of Science to speak out about certain causes. He's tremendously emotional and passionate, but also equally intelligent and clever. In the Astro Boy manga and 1963 series, he was often shown to have a very explosive temper, and was quick to lose his patience with those he considered unreasonable or irrational, although his temperment in later appearances calmed considerably.
Ever since his youth, Ochanomizu loved science and engineering. When he was in graduate school, he was roommates and lab partners with Umataro Tenma. Their long-but-former friendship is what makes Ochanomizu want to reform and still believe in Tenma. As much as Ochanomizu cares about his former colleague, he will not hesitate to call out Tenma for being abusive or reckless.
Professor Ochanomizu often acts as Astro's mentor in both social and academic matters, as well as acting as a father figure from time to time. He deeply cares for the robot as if he were his own son, and considers him as close as family. He truly believes Astro is the key to building a better future for robotkind and the making of a peaceful world in which humans and robots co-exist.


Pluto

Orrin is a silver and white minimalist android. His construction is very rounded and streamlined, with round eyes, and a blue LED indicator that gives him an animated mouth. Orrin has limited mobility, and is only able to turn his waist, arm joints, and neck. However, this sleek design choice allows for him to glide faster on his wheeled base. He is permanently hunched over, almost resembling a question mark ("?") in shape.

Despite his very mechanical appearance, Orrin acts very much like a human, thanks to Tenma's advanced programming. Orrin is kind and good-natured, but he has frequent bouts of anxiety or bewilderment.
Orrin is reliable and will always follow Tenma's orders to a T. The only way to make him defy an order is to directly mess with Orrin's programming, which Toby has figured out; he at one point even hot-wires Orrin and makes him drive to the Ministry of Science.


Pluto

As a recycled robot, Outrageous has a blocky and uneven appearance; she is mostly comprised of gray, green, pink, and purple chunks of metal. Her arms are large and bulky with large, spike-covered appendages that resemble hands.

She is much larger than Belligerent and makes up much of the Little Stinker's body mass once transformed.


Pluto

Kiriko is very gaunt-looking and appears much older than he actually is. He has long, stark white hair; some art depicts him with very light platinum blonde hair. Kiriko always dresses in fine suits, long coats, and ascots.
In Black Jack , Kiriko has an eyepatch over one eye. He originally lost this eye in an accident during his term in the Vietnam War. However, Kiriko does appear with two eyes in Prime Rose and Astro Boy .

In his home series, Dr. Kiriko is a morbid, brooding man. He takes himself and his career seriously, enjoying his rivalry with Black Jack to some degree. Kiriko has a reputation for being death-obsessed and creepy, which has lead some to nickname him "The Reaper's Avatar". In reality, Kiriko entered the field of euthanasia after serving time in Vietnam as a military doctor, a particularly vicious time in history. Kiriko began to question the hippocratic oath and switched careers. While he is a competent and serious doctor, Kiriko hates being one-upped or proven wrong.
As Pavlos in "Atlas Strikes Back", he is much more maniacal and dangerous.

Originally, Osamu Tezuka modelled Pilat after Michael J. Pollard, in his role as C.W. Moss from the 1967 American film Bonnie and Clyde . [1] Just like Pilat, Moss is a getaway driver and criminal henchman.
Pilat has a tan complexion, and has medium-length brown hair that frames his face. He has very big eyes and a prominent nose, and is far shorter than Skunk. He always wears a brown blazer and slacks, black dress shoes, a green turtleneck, and a bolo tie.

Pilat comes off as one of the less dangerous members of the gang, but he can be just as shady and scheming as Skunk. He and Skunk tend to act like friends, with the two of them pulling smaller heists together. However, Pilat is still a henchman, and has been yelled at for not completing tasks fast enough or for questioning his boss's authority.
As well, Pilat is the only member of Skunk's gang to ever be given a name. In the early episodes of the series that he appears in, the Japanese credits contain his voice actor alongside the katakana of Pilat's name. However, later episodes credit him as Henchman A. Skunk very rarely calls Pilat by name in the Japanese version, and in English dubs he remains nameless.


Pluto

Due to Pinoko's time in a cyst, her growth is stunted, and she can never fully grow bigger than the size of a small child. She has bright brown eyes and short brown hair with bangs. Pinoko always wears four ribbon clips in her hair, and it is also her visual trademark. Most often, Pinoko wears pinafore dresses or overalls, over and plain colour shirts. She will often match the colour of her ribbons with the rest of her outfits.

Pinoko is a boisterous little girl. She is very outspoken and headstrong, but also very stubborn. She hates being called a child and will insist that she is much older. She is convinced that she is eighteen years old - the number of years she spent as a teratoma growth - and that she is now Black Jack's wife. Regardless, Black Jack treats her as his daughter.
Pinoko is fairly normal in appearance, but to an extent, she is physically challenged. Much of her body is prosthetic and she cannot grow much larger than she already is. At one point, she tries to take a high school entrance exam, but the amount of stress she experiences causes her to need immediate medical attention. [2] Despite her insistence that she is mature, Pinoko acts and thinks like an normal young child. When surprised, Pinoko will put her hands on the sides of her face, cartoonishly squishing her face. Her catchphrase is "acchonburike", a nonsense word; it is often translated along the lines of "oh my gewdness".


Pluto

Pluto's appearance is largely consistent in all his incarnations, being an enormous, burly humanoid robot with a design that is reminiscent of a demon. His metallic exterior is jet black in color, with red accents on his cheeks that resemble tribal war paint. His imposing stature is further accentuated by a pair of long, bull-like horns, which stick out of the sides of his head and curve straight upwards.
The 1980s version of Pluto is largely unchanged from his original incarnation, with the most notable differences being more definition in his design, as well as his black exterior having changed to a deep blue. The 2003 version of Pluto has a greater number of differences, now being a dark green in color, having no functional mouth and appearing more armored than before.
The Pluto in Urasawa's manga appears very similar to his 1963 and 1980 designs, with a seemingly more demonic tone to him. In his original identity as Sahad, Pluto appears as an extremely-human looking robot with a large nose, dark curly hair and expressive eyes.

The concept for Pluto's personality is of a temporary anti-hero. Originally,Pluto is shown to be stoic but completely blind to his creators orders, as his purpose is to fight Astro when the two are pitted against each other,as through their battles Dr. Tenma wants Astro to evolve and become his so-desired King of Robots. But as he spends time with Zoran, Pluto slowly starts to develop emotions and begin to show his kind side towards Zoran, and possibly start to see Astro in a different light, more as a ally and friend than just a rival. Despite the fact they are destined to fight, Pluto seemed to dislike fighting, as in his last meeting with Astro, he was forced to fight the latter, but later as he watched Astro's friends cheering for him and Zoran stopped their conflict, Pluto finally came in terms with his inner feelings and used that motivation as a strength to protect the people from Acheron, his evil self, who he once called friends: Astro and Zoran


Pluto

Stone is a tall, lean human man aged somewhere in his late 40s to 50s. He has a long, rectangular face, arched nose, and heavy brow line. He has short, slicked-back black hair with a widow's peak. In many regards, he appears to be an interpretation of Acetylene Lamp .
President Stone is only seen wearing his political fatigues. He wears a trim navy blue jacket, slacks, and tall black boots. He can be most often seen standing straight, arms folded behind his back, and glowering.

President Stone is the egotistical, ruthless and rogue president of Metro City, constantly focused on an upcoming election he hopes to be re-elected in. Stone is intent on impressing the city's voters with the Peacekeeper robot, demanding it be made to protect the city from a possible attack from the surface world. His insistence that the Peacekeeper be installed with the Red Core causes it to malfunction, sending forth a laser blast that kills Toby Tenma. He is also dangerously reckless, as demonstrated by sending numerous troops to capture Astro in the middle of Metro City. While he enjoys weapons and machinery, he thinks very little of robots, openly mocking Astro when he gets captured. Stone only sees robots as machines that need to do what they are told.

Stone also has a strangely goofy and inept side under the surface. At one point he is shown arm-wrestling with his assistant, remarking, "I win again." Much of his personality and actions seem to reference the American political climate of the era during which the movie was being developed. 2007-2008 was the last two years of the Bush-Cheney presidency, during which an enormous amount of jokes were made in popular media about inept, war-hungry politicians. Some reviewers of the film have directly equated Stone to the Cheney parodies of the time. [1]
President Stone's backstory is never fully elaborated on. It is remarked in the film Stone dropped out of college in his early 20s. The film's official comic and novel adaptations contain a scene cut from the film's script that reveals Stone always had trouble in school. Hamegg recognizes Stone, whom he calls by his first name, and reveals that he used to do Stone's homework when they were in the same third grade class. [2] His name is a pun of the word Doofus, showing his low intelligence.


Pluto

Princess Kaaya is a teenage South-Asian girl presumably in her mid-to late teens. She has short, curly dark brown hair, which shines brown in some light. Kaaya usually wears light, breezy outfits in white and blue, and an assortment of jewelry.

Kaaya's father is the first ruler to introduce robots into Mayura, and likewise, Kaaya is a strong supporter of robots. She immediately befriends Astro and his friends, with Reno having a crush on her.


Pluto

Rag is a humanoid robot who resembles a teenage boy. He has light brown hair (blonde in the manga) with thick bangs, green eyes, and two antennae that point out from the top of his head. Rag's antennae are special energy converters that turn positive emotional energy into light. This allows him to literally read the room around him, assessing his public approval rating wherever he goes.
At all times, Rag is dressed in formal clothing. He takes his role as a politician seriously, and always wears an off-white three piece suit with a large bow tie. He will wear an orange and red electoral sash over his suit whenever he makes public appearances.

Rag is a kind, personable leader. He is very professional and serious, but talks to Astro like an old friend, recognizing them as both being robots. He is dedicated to his role as a public leader, which has put his own life on the line. Rag is aware many anti-robot individuals want him dead, but refuses to leave his people without a leader, and he invites Astro to Guravia to ask for his protection.
As Astro's group finds out, Rag was actually built by Deadcross years before. Rag was meant to be an informational source to help the latter run for president, but Rag begun to develop his own point of view after hours researching, reading, and studying. Rag could no longer stand to think about the inequalities between robots and humans, and decided to run for president himself.
