Holmes, Rock

ロック・ホーム

Rock is a recurring character in Osamu Tezuka's manga series and a key component of Tezuka's Star System. He is a young boy with glossy dark hair. Rock made his debut in the manga series Detective Boy Rock Holmes, serving as a child detective. While most of Tezuka's other child characters remained the same age, Rock aged over the years, and his character was repurposed for more mature "roles" in Tezuka's manga, where he gradually developed a darker personality. Often cold and brutal, his character is frequently cast as an antagonist who, in works such as Phoenix, kidnapped and murdered people. In this older form, Rock is often dressed in a three-piece suit, a striped tie, and dark sunglasses, the latter of which became something of a trademark for him.
Best known to American audiences for his dark and violent roles in the Metropolis movie and the second volume of Alabaster, Rock is sometimes good, sometimes evil, but always determined, absolute, and charismatic.
