Shizuma

シズマ・ド・モンタルバン三世博士

Shizuma, a scientist, along with his four colleagues, invented the Shizuma drive near Belgium ten years prior to the events of the Giant Robo story. The drive served as the perfect energy source, being both efficient and non-polluting, and soon everything in the world, from airplanes to cigarette lighters to giant robots, utilized it. Dr. Shizuma was hailed as a hero, but at the start of the anime he is a nervous wreck and mentally unstable. It seems he knows something about the Shizuma drive that the rest of the world does not.
