Mitchy

Aperçu

Mitchy was Tezuka’s earliest important female star, and is one of the women who appears in the greatest variety of roles in Tezuka’s work. Although she monopolized many of Tezuka’s early female roles, she was a true student of her craft and proved early on that she was more than just a pretty face – leaving all the “cutey girl” roles instead for Riiko. Mitchy’s most famous appearance is in Metropolis (1949) as the robot created by Dr. Lawton, that Duke Red and the Red Party attempt to co-opt for their own megalomaniac political purposes.
