Alien Invaders, The

Also known as 宇宙人 (uchūjin)

Hello, My Name (in English) is…

Their alien names are not pronounceable in any human language.

Distinguishing Features

The Alien Invaders are easily recognizable: one by his squat round frame and enormous lips, and the other by his hulking frame and scarred boxer-like mug.

Status: Minor Stars (★)

As alien invaders in human guise, they have been singularly cast in the role of the “heavy muscle” enforcers.

Notable Roles

Their primary appearance is as 2/3 of the trio of alien invaders in The Crater (1969-70) chapter “Three Invaders”.  However, they also made a repeat performance – this time as a more down-to-earth human thugs – in the Black Jack (1973-83) chapter “Burned Doll”.  Strangely enough, the third member of their crew is absent and replaced in “Burned Doll”, although, given their extra-terrestrial nature, it’s possible that he simple chose a new and different disguise.
