Hamegg is one of [Osamu Tezuka](https://anilist.co/staff/96938)’s most widely used character actors.  Motivated by greed, he is extremely dishonest and a true coward – character traits that make him perfect as a cringe-worthy villain.  He is usually cast alongside [Acetylene Lamp](https://anilist.co/character/33515) (in a partnership Tezuka thought worked particularly well) as a henchman or lackey to another star, such as [Duke Red](https://anilist.co/character/31681), Skunk Kusai or Marukabi Boon.

His roles run the gamut from lighthearted comedy to darker, more violent characters, and oftentimes the parts he plays involve elements of both.

As one of Tezuka’s oldest characters, he appeared for the first time in Tezuka’s early amateur work, The Old Man’s Treasure Island (1945).  Of course, with a repetoire as large as his, he has had many memorable performances, including as Secret Police Inspector Akabane in [A Message to Adolf](https://anilist.co/manga/31695) (1983-85), the hunter in [Jungle Emperor](https://anilist.co/manga/31771) (1950-54), and numerous ones in [Astro Boy](https://anilist.co/manga/30728) (1952-86).

In another example of Tezuka using English words in pun-like fashion, Hamegg’s name is directly lifted from a popular breakfast combination.

Distinguishing Features
With his round head, permanent grin and large, peering eyes (patterned after Hollywood actor Peter Lorre), Hamegg’s appearance is one of the most distinctive among Tezuka’s varied cast, and help illustrate him as a consummate shyster.

Black Jack is an "unregistered" doctor with a clouded, mysterious past. He works with his little assistant Pinoko (who has a massive crush on the doctor), dealing with medical cases not very well known, which can be strange, dangerous, or not known at all. But he is a genius, and can save almost any of his patients' life (as long as they have the money for it, that is), and is known to many around the world, especially to those of medicine and science. He's a man of science himself, and does not believe much until he has seen it, yet it is many times he is surprised by love and nature often overpowering the science he bases his life in.

In the distant year 2003, Japan is a technological utopia, and robots are everywhere. One such robot, Tobio, was built by the brilliant Dr. Tenma to replace his dead son. But when it soon becomes apparent that Tobio is an imperfect copy of his departed child, Dr. Tenma throws him out. He is rescued from the scrap heap by the benevolent Professor Ochanomizu, a crusader for robot civil rights. Now the little robot, renamed Astro Boy, is given a mission to defend Japan and the world from all manner of sinister threats. Using his seven super-abilities and 100,000 horsepower worth of strength to battle evil, Astro hopes to set an example to the world of the good which all robots are capable of.

Among adult readers in Japan Black Jack is Osamu Tezuka’s most popular achievement, and perhaps the most close to the creator’s heart, as Tezuka considered entering the medical field—majoring in medicine in college—before devoting his life to comics. Black Jack is a genius surgeon who never acquired his license due to his clashes with the medical establishment. He is hired out by anyone willing to pay his exorbitant rates and is perceived as a heartless rogue because of his enigmatic nature and antisocial manner. But as readers will soon discover, that is not the whole story.

The adventures of three agents from outer space who are sent to Earth to determine whether the planet, a potential threat to the universe, should be destroyed. The instrument of destruction is a device resembling a large black ball with two antennae that is variously called an anti-proton bomb, a solar bomb, and a neutron bomb. Although the three agents (Captain Bokko, Nokko, and Pukko) are originally humanoid in appearance, upon arrival on Earth they take on the appearances of a rabbit (Bokko), a horse (Nokko), and a duck (Pukko) that they had captured as examples of Earth life forms. While on Earth they travel in a tire-shaped vehicle capable of enormous speeds called the Big Wheel, which can travel on both land and water (and, with modifications, through the air).
