In "Gatchaman", he was Kentaro Washio, captain of the Red Impulse
squadron. In "Battle of the Planets", he was called Cronos, captain
of the Red Rangers. In either show, he was Ken's/Mark's supposedly
dead father.

The BAG3MA mesh is the male Wedding Singer mesh with both arms
mapped to the same area to leave space for accessories, notably the
hat, which is the German hat from one of the Maxis skin packs,
re-UV-mapped and reshaped. Both accessories in this archive 
are attached to the body and use the main body texture. The textures,
as usual, are mostly recoloured bits of Maxis texture cobbled 
together.

For technical problems with these files, I wrote something called the
Sims Support Page (http://www.simania.nl/ssp/ssp.htm). To
email me personally, put the word "gatch" in the subject line to keep
the mail out of the spambox. (In good weeks, I get 200 spam mails a
week. In bad weeks, I get 400 spam mails a week. Not kidding.)
