Alien Invaders, The
As alien invaders in human guise, they have been singularly cast in the role of the "heavy muscle" enforcers.
Barbara
A bewitching and enchanting woman, Barbara is, at the same time, both an artist's muse and a slutty alcoholic. She can inspire men to greatness while driving them to madness, and ultimately leave them begging for to return - something that her co-star Yosuke Mikura learns all too well.
Bandaka
Self-absorbed and cocky, Bandaka is primarily a highly skilled bandit archer. An early rival of Siddhartha's, vying for the lovely Princess Yashodara, he eventually connives and bullies his way to having himself named the heir to the Shakyan kingdom.
Oba, Kamitaro
Impulsive and brash yet loyal to a fault, Oba is a specialist in small supporting roles that pack a punch. As such, he usually finds himself cast as an assistant, where his good-intentioned but head-first charge into action can sometimes have unintended conseequences for his companions.
Baba, Noboru
Born in Aomori Prefecture in October 1927, Noboru Baba moved to Tokyo in 1949 to begin a career as a manga artist, soon making a name for himself drawing manga for young boys. However, in Tezuka's manga he seems to have fallen on hard times, and is most often cast in the role of a beggar or vagrant. Although he usually finds himself relegated to small, background roles, he is a specialist in dolling out bits of sage advice.
