Daddy Walrus

Daddy Walrus (also known as Shunsaku Ban, Higeoyaji, and Mustachio in the Japanese version) is a character with many names, appearing in several versions of Astro Boy.

Daddy Walrus' real name is Albert Duncan (Shunsaku Ban in the Japanese version). He is Astro's teacher, however he is shown to be a private eye among other things. Daddy Walrus is somewhat cowardly while having a brave front, but he is a strong supporter of robots' rights and doesn't hesitate to make that very clear. He can be loud, especially when short tempered, otherwise he is portrayed as kind and friendly.

Mr. Mustachio makes a brief appearance as Toby's teacher.

In the Japanese version of the 1960s series, his first voice actor is Masaaki Yajima and second voice actor is Ayao Wada.

In the 1980s series, he is voiced by Kazuo Kumakura in the Japanese version and by Bob Gonzalez in the English version.

In the 2009 feature film, he is voiced by Ryan Stiles.
