Although a minor Star, Odawara Jochin is a specialist at playing the somewhat innocuous "buddy" role. His ability to lend an ear and/or doll out some sound advice has had a long successful career being cast in roles such as teachers, doctors, researchers, and classmates. However he's also had success in roles on both sides of the law - able to play both a villain's henchman and a cop's partner with the same even keel.
As a dog, trained by his former owner, Professor "Y", in the art of the theatre, and a master of pantomime, he is the perfect companion and accomplice for the Rainbow Parakeet. He's not above nicking a few valuables here and there, and will use his skills in disguise to accomplish whatever heist he's a part of.
Despite being a robot, Olga has a strong sense of loyalty and duty, which gives her a nurturing, almost mother-like quality. As such, she's perfectly cast as a robot caretaker and/or assistant that displays an undying loyalty to her charge.
The epitome of the dashing, "gentleman thief" archetype, the Rainbow Parakeet is a genius-level actor who specializes in mimicry and disguise. Wether it be on-stage, filling in at the last minute as a substitute actor or as a duplicitous temporary stand-in for someone famous off-stage, the Parakeet is able fulfill your needs and solve your problems. However, his services come at a price - usually requiring you to look the other way as he robs someone blind.
