Hello Fine Ladies and Gents

My name is Grocky and I am a part of the Time Skeletons. I’ve come here to acquire some moral boosts. Please send some lovely pictures.

Warusa here, it might be a better idea if you could give us ideas for dealing with those brats following us.

Time Bokan Character Biography: Walsa

Walsa (alternatively Walther or Warusa, Birba in Italy, or as the dub called him Mungo) provides the raw strength as part of Marjo's gang in the original Time Bokan. Taking great pride in his strength, the scowling 35 year old brute serves as a bodyguard for Marjo. There’s conflicting information regarding the origin of his name, either being based off the Japanese word for "evil behavior", "warusa", or the name of the "Walther" German firearms.

When the trio are out searching for the Dynamonds, Walsa's usually called upon to deal with someone that threatens the gang, although how well he does varies on his opponent. He's also afraid of snakes and supernatural entities, and he'll often run away before Marjo and Grocky can.

Ironically, despite being the dumbest member of the gang, he's also the most observant, often quick to notice the Time Bokan crew or small details the other two would overlook. Walsa also serves as the co-pilot for the Gaikottsu, controlling it's movement while Grocky handles the gadgets and weapons.

He seldom thinks for himself, and most of the time he's on the beck and call of either Marjo or Grocky. He shows the utmost respect for Marjo and appears to be pals with Grocky, although Walsa's not above ridiculing him at any given moment.

He really didn’t contribute much to the overall plot compared to the rest of the gang, the most I can say is that he continued to follow Marjo to the bitter end of the series and subsequent spin-offs. But he started the series tradition of a minuscule muscular moron that Tonzura and others would later follow.

The Voices of Time Bokan: Kazuya Tatekabe

Kazuya Tatekabe is the man behind Walsa, Tonzura, and the other muscles of the Time Bokan series. He was probably the most reocurring Tatsunoko voice actor outside of the Time Bokan series, voicing the lazy dog Baron in Hurricane Polymar, Braiking Boss' minion Barashin in Neo Cyborg Casshan, and King Ibaruda in Gold Lightan.

His most notable role outside of Tatsunoko was Takeshi "Gian" Goda for the majority of Doraemon. Oh, and he was Cesar the Gorilla in the Animal Crossing movie.

Alongside Noriko Ohara, Tatekabe enjoys doing work on the Time Bokan series and tends to participate on special events related to the series, making a cameo in the live action Yatterman and reprising Tonzura for an event celebrating Tatsunoko's 50th anniversary.
