He is, or at least inspired by Tezuka's own self from his childhood. I think it's mentioned in "The Art of Osamu Tezuka: God of Manga".

I recently found a website that has images from this album booklet that are clearer than the ones I originally posted. The one image that is not there is one that is not usually shown because it is obscured by the fact that it is part of a foldout page. It features an inset where you see: Astro Boy (Atom), with Astro Girl (Uran) and Dr. Elefun (Dr. Ochanomizu) in the rocket ship to the moon to meet with the Junior Squadron. I am including it here for the sake of completion from my own copy. (Any one wanting to see the rest of the pictures, please ask. --Astrobuddy

Okay because you asked here are the other pictures.

First here is Uran, Atom & Dr. Ochanomizu greeting Dr. Cosme:

Now here is Uran being introduced to the rest of the Junior Squadron, plus Atom in his Squadron uniform:

Thanks for the images!



I just realized that Ochanomizu is wearing Robby's legs! Exactly three (3) segments!

Here are some more: Atom and the Junior Squadron learn the Moon Monsters are holding children hostage and jump into their moon cars ready for action!

Atom and the Junior Squadron go into action against the Moon Monsters!

Atom finishes off the Moon Monsters and with the Junior Squadron save a grateful group of children!

Atom receives a medal from Dr. Cosme before Atom, Uran and Dr. Ochanomizu say a fond farewell to Dr. Cosme and the Junior Squadron!

Here is a page showing the cast of "Atom and Uran Visit The Junior Squadron": Atom, Uran, Dr. Ochanomizu, Dr. Cosme and the Junior Squadron No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7. Number 5 and Number 7, of course are the two who have a rivalry going on. But you can't tell from this episode.--Astrobuddy
