Black Jack

Also known as ブラック・ジャック (Burakku Jakku)

Hello, My Name (in English) is…

That’s DOCTOR Black Jack to you.

Distinguishing Features

With his distinctive look, with a large scar across his face and a streak of white running through his jet black hair, Black Jack has a rather ominous appearance. However, this gruff and heartless exterior conceals a heart of gold.

Status: Super Star (★★★★★)

Dr. Hazama Kuroo, better known by his nickname Black Jack, is a mysterious and charismatic young genius surgeon.  As a sort of “Medical Robin Hood”, he travels the world performing amazing and impossible feats of surgery – and righting the wrongs no one else can.  However, because of his hatred for the hypocrisy and corruption of the medical establishment, Black Jack refuses to accept a medical license.   This frequently leads to run-ins the authorities, as well as difficulties from gangsters and criminals who approach him for illegal operations.

Notable Roles

Despite being arguably Tezuka’s second most well-known star after Astro Boy, Black Jack rarely appears outside his own series – usually only as himself or in cameos.  However he has had other roles, notably in Phoenix (1967-88) and Rainbow Parakeet (1981-83).
