First Appearance: Volume 1 Chapter 1: "Is there a Doctor?"Pinoko (ピノコ)First Appearance: Volume 1 Chapter 3: "Teratogenous Cystoma"Pinoko is Black Jack's loyal assistant/surrogate daughter, who was actually a Teratogenous Cystoma (a growth more commonly known as a teratoma). As seen in Volume 1 Chapter 3: "Teratogenous Cystoma", she was a rare type of parasitic twin, living in one of Black Jack's patients' bodies for eighteen years until Black Jack extracted her and gave her a real body. He constructed her from the mass of organs included in the growth and provided her a plastic exoskeleton that gives her the appearance of a human child (around 7 or 8 years).
However, this exoskeleton limits some of her abilities, most notably halting her physical growth and not being able to swim for a long duration nor float (Volume 1. Chapter 1: "Water and the Badness"). Her exoskeleton is only made for walking and running, and if she tries to swim, she will sink to the bottom.
She speaks with a strong lisp which may be due to her exoskeletal skull. Only her limbs and internal organs are real; her face and body are artificial. After being rejected by her twin sister, she started to live with Black Jack as a sort of daughter to him. She always helps the doctor by doing household chores and by even being his assistant in some of his operations.
She often acts as comic relief in Black Jack, claiming to be a girl of eighteen years of age and married to Black Jack, despite her childlike appearance and personality. Her main value is companionship and source of affection for the ordinarily cold- natured doctor. When she started living with Black Jack, she couldn't cook, clean, or take care of the house; she couldn't even walk, let alone move. Eventually, she learned them and could take care of the house when he is out. But sometimes she is able to mix ingredients around in her cooking, like using salt instead of sugar.

Black Jack modeled her face after a cute girl he had seen in a medical journal who suffers from a lung ailment of unknown origin (from Volume 7 Chapter 4: "The Two Pinokos"). Pinoko's life was put in danger a few times; she was kidnapped (Volume 2 Chapter 8: "Kidnapping", Volume 1. Chapter 2: "The Third Call", Volume 1. Chapter 1: "Treasure Island"), swallowed a potassium cyanide pill (Volume 4 Chapter 1. Gas"), shot from a bullet (Volume 7 Chapter 1.

Pinoko says she is 1. Black Jack says she is 0- years- old when he built her. Because of that, she sometimes acts like an adult while other times as a 7- year- old.
She cries when she is injured or throws things when she is mad. She is sometimes seen drawing pictures, playing games, or reading children's stories. Throughout the whole manga series, she is never seen going to kindergarten, although she nearly did take the high school entrance exam. Black Jack never tries to give Pinoko an 1. She almost received one when she nearly died in Volume 9 Chapter 2: "Pinoko Lives".
If she was an adult, she may have looked like the Pinoko in Black Jack's dream in Volume 1. Chapter 1. 4: "The SL Called Life".
She sometimes talks in third- person, using "Pinoko" instead of "I", "me", or "my". Some of the stories take place when she is 1. Pinoko got drunk from alcohol a few times. She was temporarily adopted by a couple in Volume 1. Chapter 1: "Pinoko is Adopted". Before Black Jack extracted her from her twin, she telepathically talked to him.
That is why, in Volume 1. Chapter 4: "Teratoid Cystoma, Part 2", she was able to talk to a teratoid cystoma in a patient in her sleep. Pinoko's main form of comic relief is yelling アッチョンブリケ(Acchonburike)—a phrase that has no real meaning but taken as a rough equivalent to "Oh my goodness!" (often spelled "Omigewdness" in fansubs) or "I don't believe it!" (as translated when she appeared in an episode of the Astro Boy 8. English—while pressing her cheeks together with her hands when something surprising happens. Also, she says Aramanchu!, which has no real meaning, but can be roughly translated as "okey dokey!".

Supporting characters[edit]Pinoko's Twin Sister. First Appearance: Volume 1 Chapter 3: "Teratoid Cystoma"Pinoko's twin sister's name is never revealed in the manga. She doesn't like the fact that her teratoid cystoma is actually her twin sister. She would always look away and say that that thing isn't her sister. Her face and background is never revealed until Volume 1. Chapter 1. 0: "A Visiting Memory". Her second appearance is in Volume 9 Chapter 2: "Pinoko Lives" where she donates some of her blood to Pinoko.

She survived and, with a huge amount of cash and amnesia, ended up at Black Jack's house. Pinoko and her had a sister bond without knowing her identity.

Dr. Jotaro Honma (本間 丈太郎,Honma Jōtarō)First Appearance: Volume 1 Chapter 5: "Sometimes like Pearls"The reason why Black Jack pursued a career in medicine is because of Dr. Honma, his mentor and life- saver, who acted as the young boy's father- figure. Kagemitsu Hazama, Black Jack's real father, left his wife and son to live in Macau with his new wife Renka. The reasons for Kagemitsu's behavior are later explained in the Black Jack 2. As a child, Black Jack suffered from paralysis in all four limbs and spent many lonely years in a wheelchair until he regained the use of them. Dr. Honma wrote a book about this miracle, as depicted in Volume 1 Chapter 1.
