A recurrent character in the works of Osamu Tezuka, especially Astro Boy and Metropolis, and a part of Osamu Tezuka's Star System. He has had many voice actors in many of his anime appearances, but his most famous seiyuu is Kazuo Kumakura.<br /> <br /> Higeoyaji appears in Astro Boy as a school teacher and detective who asserts the rights of robots, but he also frequently plays as a detective in other stories too. His many roles are a lawyer, sushi bar chef, teacher, politician, judo expert, even (in Rainbow Parakeet) a butterfly! He's really the typical amiable old man who could be a good friend/mentor, or your next-door neighbour.<br /><br />
