Musashi Tomoe serves as the third pilot. He is an intensely hot-blooded young man who controls the Getter machine "Bear" and Getter-3. Musashi is short and stout, yet physically very strong as the undefeated leader of his prefecture's Judo team. Although he fails the physical and mental tests required to pilot Getter Robo, he compensates with his hot-blooded spirit and stubbornness, becoming a valued member of the team. Musashi's goofy and clumsy personality provides much of the comic relief in the original series. His portrayal in the 1970s series is fairly close to the original manga, unlike many of the other characters.
