Tezuka’s Stars (S)
Sapphire
Although she is physically a human girl, due to Tink's interference when Sapphire was still an unborn spirit in heaven, she is mistakenly given both a male and female heart. However this dual-nature serves her well as she is both a chivalrous knight, r...
Saruta [aka Honma, Dr.]
Saruta, like a lot of good character actors, has seen it all. No one else in Tezuka’s Star System has quite been through the wringer like Saruta. He’s a specialist at suffering. In almost every role he’s ever taken, he’s given the task of showing both th...

Shimada, Keizo
Coming Soon!
Shunsaku Ban [aka Higeoyaji]
Shunsaku Ban is, without a doubt, one of Tezuka's most important Stars. He takes the prize in practically every category, earliest appearances, longest serving, most appearances, etc. However, despite all those appearances, he is, almost without exception,...
Skunk Kusai
Skunk Kusai is one of Tezuka's least savoury characters, and often the perfect choice to play any number of thugs, thieves, kidnappers and other criminals. While Kin Sankaku, Acetylene Lamp and Hamegg, each have a certain foolishness that makes them...
