List of Mazinger Characters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of characters from the anime and manga series Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and Mazinkaiser. It lists the main players of the plots as well as minor characters or others that did not appear in more than one chapter.
[edit] From Mazinger Z
[edit] Kouji Kabuto
Kouji was the pilot of Mazinger Z and Mazinkaiser. He embodies the reckless hero who never gives up no matter how adverse the circumstances are. He was appointed as a mecha pilot by his grandfather, Juzo Kabuto, and after his death he is the only one to take care of his little brother Shiro Kabuto. He has a love / hate relationship with his companion in battle, Sayaka.
[edit] Sayaka Yumi
Sayaka was the pilot of female mechas Aphrodite A and Diana A, and also of Venus A in Mazinkaiser. She's the daughter of Dr. Genosuke Yumi. She's in love with Koji, but their relationship fails to materialize into anything serious beyond much more than mutual innuendos. Brave and bad tempered, she often provides help in battle.
[edit] Shiro Kabuto
Shiro is Kouji's younger brother. He remains in Japan when Kouji departs at the beginning of Great Mazinger, and even gets to pilot his own robot, Robot Junior.
[edit] Boss
Boss was an overweight, comical fellow who resented Kouji and tried to outdo him, even forcing scientists at the photon lab to build him a giant robot so he could compete with Mazinger Z, Boss Borot. Despite being silly comic relief, Boss occasionally managed to provide help for Mazinger Z and was even included in their battleplans to assault Dr. Hell's island base at the end of the series. He continued to pilot Boss Borot and serve as the comic relief in Great Mazinger and a guest spot in Grendizer.
[edit] Mucha & Nuke
Mucha and Nuke are Boss's sidekicks who follow him around, help in his schemes and ride with him in Boss Borot.
[edit] Misato
Misato is Boss' cousin, who comes to the Photon Power Laboratory to work as a maid of sorts somewhat after halfway through the series. She is somewhat resented by Sayaka for the attention Kouji gives her. Misato sometimes ends up in battle, such as when she went to rescue Kouji from Pigman's hypnosis, but more often than not she stays at the laboratory.
[edit] Dr. Yumi
Yumi was a colleague of Juzo Kabuto and ran the laboratory where Mazinger Z was headquartered. He is the father of Sayaka Yumi.
[edit] Juzo Kabuto
Juzo Kabuto was a previous colleague of Dr. Hell and created Mazinger Z in order to oppose Hell's plans for world domination. Hell sent Baron Ashura to kill Juzo before he could present a threat, and he was fatally injured in the attack, but survived long enough to tell Kouji about Mazinger Z and how it must be used to defeat Dr. Hell.
[edit] Professors Sewashi, Nossori & Mori Mori
Three scientists who work around the laboratory and help Professor Yumi, and sometimes provide comic relief. In some incarnations of the show they are known as Iz, Biz and Diz.
[edit] Dr. Hell
[edit] Baron Ashura
Baron Ashura was Dr. Hell's most loyal lieutenant, but always failed to fully accomplish his master's orders. He was a bizarre composite of two mummies, one male and one female.
[edit] Count Blocken
Count Blocken was a cyborg whose head was hewn from his body during a car accident. He normally carried it under his arm, but it had the ability to float around on its own. He had a fierce rivalry with Baron Ashura.
[edit] Viscount Pigman
Viscount Pigman was a fictional villain from the robot anime Mazinger Z. He was, like the story's other villains, a physically bizarre creation with the body of a pygmy shaman atop the body of a large tribal warrior, holding a shield and spear. Unlike Dr. Hell's other lieutenants, Viscount Pigman had little loyalty to his creator, and stole one his robot warriors to destroy Mazinger Z on his own.
[edit] Rico
[edit] Iron Masks
Iron Masks were the foot soldiers in Dr. Hell's army, wearing bell-like helmets that covered the upper halves of their heads with holes for their eyes. They are apparently robotic, and can be self-destructed by remote control. For the most part they served as grunts for Baron Ashura on his operations.
[edit] Iron Crosses
Iron Crosses were new soldiers introduced into Dr. Hell's army when Count Blocken was recruited. They resembled Nazi stormtroopers and had large, goggly eyes. They tended to work as grunts exclusively in operations led by Count Blocken.
[edit] Dr. Heinrich
Another ex-collaborator of Dr. Hell. After a car accident, Hell turns him into a cyborg, but this time holds back his unfortunate tendency to turn those he brings back to life into total freaks and hence Heinrich only has blue skin and is full of stitches all over his body. His head sports a mechanical device, that extends to one of the sides of his face and covers his right eye, which can fire beams. Heinrich had worked for Hell developing a powerful monster, but for reasons unclear he deserts him and takes away the unfinished robot along with him.
After some time Ashura is commended to find him and the robot. Heinrich now lives with his daughter Lorelai, and refuses to collaborate with Hell again. Eventually his beast is released, Ryne X1, and moments before his death, he tells Lorelai how to control it to fight Mazinger, since he is sure his creation is superior than Dr. Kabuto's.
[edit] Lorelai
[edit] Dr. Watson
[edit] Dr. Smith
[edit] Kouji and Shiro's mother
[edit] From Great Mazinger
[edit] Tetsuya Tsurugi
[edit] Jun Hono
[edit] Kenzo Kabuto
Kenzo was the son of Juzo Kabuto, the inventor of Mazinger Z, but working in secret he improved upon the original designs to create the more formidable Great Mazinger. After a laboratory experiment that went wrong, he and his wife are thought to be dead. However, he was instead turned into a cyborg by his father in order to keep him alive. His sons Koji and Shiro are unaware of this and grow believing both of their parents are dead.
He reveals the truth to both of them in the Great Mazinger series, and their relationship would cause conflict with Tetsuya, who was adopted by Kenzo together with Jun and feels jealous of Kenzo's actual offspring, especially so of Kouji. Dr. Kabuto would eventually die in battle at the end of the series and Tetsuya and Kouji fight together to avenge his death.
[edit] The Emperor of Darkness
The Emperor of Darkness (Yami no Teiou 闇の帝王) was a fictional character, a supervillain and warlord from the manga and anime series Great Mazinger. Great Mazinger was the sequel to the wildly popular Mazinger Z. It was depicted as a large flaming entity. As the Emperor of the Mikene Empire, he was the true enemy behind the Great General of Darkness and the Great Marshall of Hell. His defeat marked the end of the Mikene Empire.
[edit] Great General of Darkness
The supreme commander of the Mikene Empire, the Great General of Darkness leads the seven Mikene armies in their conquest of the surface world.
[edit] Great Marshall of Hell
The Great Marshall of Hell was one of the chief officers of the evil Mycene Empire. He was actually the villain of the previous series, Dr. Hell, who had been used as a pawn by the Mycene to weaken Earth's defenses before they made their bid for domination of the surface of the world. He replaces the General of Darkness after his demise.
[edit] Minister Argos
[edit] Archduke Gorgon
Archduke Gorgon was a villain who was seen primarily in Great Mazinger, but appeared several times in Mazinger Z as well. He resembles a centaur somewhat, as from the waist up he is a green-skinned man, but below the waist has the body of a saber-toothed tiger. However, his human half is attached to the rear part of the tiger, so it still has its own head.
[edit] Marquis Yanus
[edit] General Julius Caesar
Superhuman General Julius Caesar was commander of the Superhuman Battle Beasts, one of the Seven Armies of the Mikene Empire. He resembles a gigantic human warrior with purple skin and dressed in Roman-style armour, with a flaming circular crest on his head. His army is the largest of the Seven Armies and he is considered by many to be the Great General of Darkness' right-hand man.
[edit] General Birdler
[edit] General Ardias
Evil Spirit General Ardias was commander of the Spectral Battle Beasts, one of the Seven Armies of the Mikene Empire. He resembles a gigantic skeleton wearing a ragged cloak with a flaming skull for a head.
[edit] General Angoras
[edit] General Rigarn
Wild Beast General Rigarn was commander of the Mammalian Battle Beasts, one of the Seven Armies of the Mikene Empire. Rigarn is the most vile of the Seven Generals and is unpopular even among his fellow Generals.
[edit] General Scarabeth
Giant Insect General Scarabeth was commander of the Insect Battle Beasts, one of the Seven Armies of the Mikene Empire. He resembles a gigantic rhinoceros beetle, with his true face mounted on his chest.
[edit] General Draydou
[edit] General Juuma
This character only appeared in the Mazinger vs. The Great General of Darkness OVA. His body was composed from parts that identify him with each of the seven Mikene armies, reptilian, superhuman, aerial, insect, aquatic, mammalian and spectral. His position in the Mikene structure is unclear; whereas The Seven Generals, who are not included in the OVA, had each an army under their command, Juuma is apparently appointed ad hoc by The General of Darkness to take seven beasts of his choice and annihilate Mazinger Z after the destruction of many of his favorite monsters by Koji and his robot. Juuma almost succeeds, but Great Mazinger destroys his robots and finishes him off together with Mazinger Z.
[edit] Mikene Soldiers
[edit] Body of Catloo
[edit] From Mazinkaiser
[edit] Lori & Loru
Two voluptuous twin sisters who begin working at the institute as lab assistants. Sayaka jealously dumps Mazinkaiser headfirst in the ocean when she thinks Kouji is paying too much attention to them. They pilot the robot Million Alpha in the Mazinkaiser manga and sequel movie, in which they die in battle. Lori usually wore light blue clothes, and Loru usually dressed in pink; their hair color was slightly different, in two shades of blonde.
[edit] Kamia Sisters
The Kamia Sisters are three identical young women who are vicious and formidable martial artists who are sent by Ashura to assassinate Kouji so that his robot can't stop their next attack. They are revealed to be robotic and killed. They used their long ponytails as sharp whips besides their acrobatic abilities. They are commonly referred to as Ashura's daughters.
