Black Jack from "Black Jack" and Hyakkimaru from "Dororo" are (c)Tezuka Osamu
This work is featured in official online Tezuka fan magazine in Novenver 2007.

The 70's comic Black Jack is written by Tezuka Osamu, who also wrote Astro Boy, Dororo and other many many stories more than a hundred and now regarded as "god of manga". The short stories in this series are all based on the writer's experience and knowledge as a medical doctor and his great imagination.

However, this Black Jack is a Japanese surgeon who is amazingly skilled but always apply for a lot of money- more than 10,000,000 yen. It sounds he's a cruel person, but since he is a surviver from an accident, he knows how life is important and should be treasured much more than others.

As Black Jack has known for such a long years, Japanese people become to call doctors who are very well skilled and with passion as "Black Jack".

"Dororo" is written earlier than BJ and its main character "Hyakki-maru" is a unfortunate samurai who was born with his 48 pieces of body taken apart by demons because of his own father's selfish desire. To take back his lost parts, Hyakki-maru must fight with those demons when he grown up as a boy.

Later Hyakki-maru became a root of Black Jack and appear in "Black Jack" couple of times.
