One of 2 main villains of the 1st season of Kagaku Ninja-Tai Gatchaman. Subgeneral of terrotist organization called Galactor - works under supervivion of Sosai X (General/ Leader X). At the beginning of the series they are 27/28 years old (date of birth : October 3, 1974). Specialties: A master of disguise and subterfuge, full of tricks and hidden bombs. A superb escape artist. Info: Katze is a mutant, created when Sosai X merged male and female twins in their mother's womb. As a result, Katze can shift genders, and spent years transferring between schools due to a yearly gender change until he gained control over this ability. When female, Katze is said to have an IQ of over 280 (and is sometimes seen in the series as the Female General, or Mala in Battle of the Planets). Katse may also be able to change shape. Katze managed to keep its identity secret throughout most of the series until Dr. Nambu dug up some old school records and documentation, then fit the puzzle pieces together. ~!Note: While some fans refer to Katze as a hermaphrodite, Katze is actually a mutant who is either completely male or completely female at any given time. With one exception: the time he was caught in the backwash of the Mechaziner Ray in one of the final episodes of Gatchaman--the first time viewers see Katse officially unmasked.!~ Voice Actors: Terashima Mikio (Gatchaman); Shiozawa Kaneto (Gatchaman '94); Keye Luke (BotP); Bill Capizzi (G-Force)

Due to dangers of decreasing resources and growing pollution, the International Scientific Organization is established to improve environmental conditions throughout the world. But an international criminal group, Gallactor, tries to achieve world domination by taking control of the ISO. Gallactor was created by a mysterious being from outer space known as Generalissimo X, who gives orders through its chief commander on Earth, the masked Berg katse. To fight Gallactor and its robot monsters, the ISO's Dr. Nambu enlists five brave youths into a combat squad called Gatchaman,the Science Commandos. Special scientific powers and dramatic birdlike costumes make the Gatchaman Squad a match for Gallactor, wherever on Earth it may strike. Ken(the Eagle) is the wise leader, assisted by sometimes-foolhardy Joe(the Condor), pretty Jun(the Swan), eager little Jinpei(the Swallow), and strong Ryu(the Horned Owl). Each has individual scientific weapons, but their main power lies in their aircraft, the Phoenix, which can transform itself into a fiery arrow capable of piercing the most massive threats. GATCHAMAN is a series of dynamic action and tension as ken, Joe, Jun, Jinpei, and Ryu hold themselves in constant readiness to meet each new threat by Gallactor to conquer the world.

Orlando Drummond Cardoso was a Brazilian actor, voice actor, comedian and voice-over artist. Orlando was known for the character Seu Peru da Escolinha do Professor Raimundo as well as for voicing the characters Scooby Doo, Alf, Popeye, and Avenger, among others.

This is the condensed theatrical adaptation of the original TV series' first season. The sinister mutant Berg Katse has launched armies of henchmen and giant weapons of mass destruction against Earth. But the forces of evil are about to meet their match! The Science Ninja Team stands ready to take the battle back to the bad guys. (Source: HIDIVE)

Two years after the defeat of Galactor and the apparent death of Condor Joe, a cruise ship is attacked by Leader X, killing nearly everyone on board. One of the survivors, a young girl, is captured by X and rapidly aged into the bizarre, masculine-voiced villainess Gel Sadra. Though she has the appearance of an adult, Gel Sadra is not immune to throwing childish tantrums and behaving immaturely. 
In the midst of the revival of Galactor, the Science Ninja Team is called back into action, with a shady man known as Hawk Getz acting as the replacement for Joe. Getz is quickly revealed to be a Galactor agent in disguise (and had killed the actual Getz who was to join), and winds up killed by a mysterious feather shuriken. After hints spread in the first three episodes, Joe reappears in the fourth episode, having somehow survived his fatal injuries at the end of the first series, and rejoins the team. It is later revealed that he was rescued by an ex-Galactor scientist at the brink of his death, and was the subject of various cybernetic augmentations. 
Later in the series, a female scientist known as Dr.Pandora is introduced, who had lost her husband and daughter in the cruise ship disaster. Unbeknown to her, her daughter Sammie survived and is in fact Gel Sadra.

Director's cut of episode 12 included with the BD/DVD box release. Contains about 15 minutes of new content.

Episode zero of Gatchaman Crowds insight which was streamed on Hulu before the airing of the main series.

We want to know about ourselves 
About the fact there is no "society" in our "country" 
About "society" and "people" living in different worlds 
 
Feeling and reason 
What is crucial is "thinking," not "worrying" 
 
Modern people are too "fast" — we breath shallow and quick 
"We" are terrible at being slow and deep
