Description "You know, Moto, I'm beginning to believe all the stories I've heard about you..."

Three portraits of Moto Kentaro, detective and agent of the International Criminal Police Commission, for the Rivals of the Great Mouse Detective.

These are three of the "identities" Moto impersonates as:  an archaeologist in Cambodia from Mr. Moto Takes a Chance (1938), a shopkeeper of Oriental curios in Egypt in Mr. Moto's Last Warning (1939); and an escaped Devil's Island convict posing as a valet in London in Mysterious Mr. Moto (1938).

(Moto-san wo sagashite imasu is Japanese for "I'm looking for Mr. Moto.")

Models - Peter Lorre , Sessue Hayakawa , Kôji Yakusho

Medium – 9B graphite.

Mr. Moto © John P. Marquand (and Diane N. Tran).

Thank you. I love the middle one the most. No eyebrows needed, the fedora says it all.

I had to go to a vintage store. It has clothing and costumes throughout the ages. I got an Italian fedora, black, silk ribbon, and early-30s.

The problem with me is that I have a small head. I got a medium size, but there weren't any smalls, grrrrrrrrrrr!

Mr. Moto would be a very hard fellow to find I believe if he didn't want to be found.

Oh yes, these aren't even his "disguises". His disguises are quite a transformation!
