Grandfather of Kouji Kabuto, he is the century's authority on robot engineering and Photon Power research, as well as a great inventor. He built the robot Mazinger Z for his grandson, as a way of making up for causing the accident that killed his parents years before. According to Juzo this robot would allow Kouji to do as he pleases with the world, even ruling it as a God or destroying it as the Devil. 

In one of their epic battles, the Mazinger Team suffers a crushing defeat at the hands of Dr. Hell and his minions after Mazinger Z is stolen and its pilot, the legendary Kouji Kabuto, is rendered missing in action. Just when Dr. Hell's second-in-command Baron Ashura uses Mazinger Z against our heroes, Kouji makes a surprise return in Mazinkaiser - an all-new Mazinger with heavier armor and deadlier attacks.

A Japanese actor and voice actor. He debuted as a member of the 11th Shin Kyodo Theater Company.

One of the first Super Robot manga and the one that introduced most of the traits of the Mecha genre. Constructed with the Super-Alloy Z, Mazinger was built by Professor Juzo Kabuto as a weapon against the Mechanical Beasts of the evil Dr. Hell. Koji Kabuto, the grandson of Professor Kabuto, becomes the pilot of Mazinger Z when his grandfather is killed, and battles from there on against Dr. Hell and his allies. This is the first series that introduced the concept of a pilot inside a Mecha, which all series from then on have followed.


Mazinger Angels chronicles the adventures of four women who pilot giant robots in the Mazinger vein. The concept is a spoof on the late 70's and early 80's popular TV series Charlie's Angels. 
Three of the robots, Aphrodite A, Diana A and Minerva X are from the original Mazinger Z series, while Venus A is from the Great Mazinger series. Their pilots are also traditional characters from Go Nagai's universe, Sayaka Yumi and Jun Hono from Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger respectively, and Hikaru Makiba and Maria Fleed from Grendizer. 
The style of the manga highlights the sex appeal of both the characters and the mechas, sometimes similarly to the way Aika's female characters are shown.

MazinSaga is a manga written and produced by Go Nagai between 1990 and 1998; currently on going again, it's the summa of Nagai's works, for the complexity of the plot and the treated thematic content. 
Mazinsaga tells the story of the young Koji Kabuto, university student who finds himself having to collect the fruit of the researches of his father, physicist of world-wide reputation who died in mysterious circumstances. 
The boy is thus given a powerful artefact, Mazinger Z, the Armor of God.

An alternative take on Mazinger Z, in the future, the world was destroyed by the demon know as Mazinger Z and the only human that is left on earth is Kouji Kabuto, he is given the chances to save humanity, by sending him back in time by a mysterious Minerva X, in this take the history is for adults, with nudity and blood that may be too much for some fans of the original version.

After finally defeating Dr. Hell, Kabuto Kouji has to battle the forces of the Mikene Empire. Against an enemy unknown even to Minerva X, who has seen countless alternate timelines, Mazinger Z faces his most desperate moments!

Mazinger Z is an alternate telling manga made in collaboration with Gosaku Ōta and Go Nagai, compared to the original and TV Magazine manga by Nagai, this manga was made more in tune with the anime while adding its own original elements.
 
The manga focuses on a plot more similar to the anime starting with Koji checking on his grandfather after Baron Ashura had activated a bomb. With his dying breath, Dr. Kabuto gives Koji the Super Robot Mazinger Z. With the threat of Dr. Hell looming, Koji fights against his Mechanical Beasts and lieutenants with help from Sayaka Yumi and to some degree Boss.
