Gato is drawn as the main character in this work, released as an OVA of the Gundam series in 1991.

In the comments, we received opinions such as “Akio Otsuka is Anabel Gato” and “Gato is the origin.” After all, we can’t talk about Gato without Mr. Otsuka’s voice!

   The first place was the main character, “Black Jack” of “Black Jack” who got 173 votes. A solitary genius surgeon who does not have a medical license while claiming a reward commensurate with his skills will face any disease. Mr. Otsuka has continued to play Black Jack in animation works since the OVA was released in 1993.

This work, said to be Osamu Tezuka’s representative work, has been filmed many times, but Otsuka has played the role for many years, so the image has become established. In the comments, we received the opinion that “I like both the OVA version of Black Jack, which is cool and cool and the TV anime version of Black Jack, which has a slightly softer atmosphere.”
