First Appearance: 1945 – Tezuka's Treasure Island<br /> <br /> Hamegg is one of Tezuka’s longest running characters—first appearing in Tezuka’s older commercial manga Treasure Island. He is notably known for his other roles in: Kimba the White Lion, where he played the evil hunter known as Viper Snakely—his role changing in the '97 movie Jungle Emperor Leo, he plays the same character, just a different role.<br /> <br /> Other such roles include: Nextworld, Metropolis, and Black Jack. He played larger one-time roles in Astro Boy as an evil robot circus owner. His biggest part is that of Inspector Akabane from Adolf—it is also one of his most notable. <br /> <br /> Hamegg often portrays a gentleman-like image but never quiet makes the cut due to his boorish mannerisms. Don’t let his shorter, cuter forms fool you; the shorter he gets, he more cynical he becomes.<br /><br />
