Rock (manga)) Jump
to: navigation, search Rock (full name being Rokuro Makube a.k.a. Rock
Holmes) is a recurrent character in Osamu Tezuka's mangas, and he is an
important part of Osamu Tezuka's Star System. Rock (sometimes spelled
Roc) is a young boy with shiny dark hair. He first appeared in the
manga series Detective Boy Rock Holmes, as a child detective. (His name
was then based on Sherlock Holmes). While most of other Tezuka child
characters (such as Kenichi) stayed the same age, Rock grew up
throughout the years and his character was reused for more mature
"roles" in Tezuka's mangas, where he got a gradually dark personality;
often being cold and brutal, his character tends be used as an
antagonist. In this older form, Rock is often wearing a three-piece
suit, a striped tie and dark sunglasses, the latter which became a bit
of his trademark. Rock was most recently seen in the animated version
of Tezuka's Metropolis (the manga for which he did not appear in) and
in the recent Astro Boy series (as the secret identity of villain
Deadcross). A character named Rock (but of a different appearance and
personality) also appeared in the 1980 animated Phoenix 2772. Rock's
Japanese full name is based on MacBeth for Makube and Kuro ("dark" in
japanese) for Rokuro (mixed with "Rock"). Superbe Pan cel Cell Cellulo du film d'animation Metropolis ( OTOMO AKIRA JAMES CAMERON )
