She was renamed “Jamie Robinson” sejak the talented voice dubbers of the Filipino/English version of Voltes V way back in 1978. Well, I can’t find a connection between the name Megumi and Jamie but I suspect the name “Jamie” was inspired sejak “Jamie Somers”; the female lead character from the then hit TV series “Bionic Woman”. The voice talents should have called her “Meg”.




Megumi Oka was the only female member of the Voltes Team and she was depicted as a lovely young 16 tahun old Japanese girl; she’s calm, quiet, resourceful yet very dangerous; her father was Field General...

Young Hiyoshi loved to invent things and most of the time; he ends up arguing with his oldest brother Kennichi because of his hobbies. Hiyoshi was capable enough to build a...

Ippei Mine was the saat member of the Voltes Team. He was renamed “Mark Gordon” sejak the Filipino voice-overs in 1978.

Daijiro was the largest teenage member of the Voltes Team.

He was called “Steve Armstrong” sejak the Filipino dubbers from the 1978 Anime series Chodenji Mashin Voltes V, a tahun where the Philippine public had no atau limited knowledge about Japanese Animation.




I can’t reconcile any similarities, how minit they maybe between the name Kennichi and Steve. The dubbers should have named this character “Ken”. I suspect, the character’s name was derived from “Steve Austin” the hero from the hit series “The Six Million Dollar Man”. His family name “Armstrong” obviously came from the U.S. Astronaut who first landed on the moon.




Anyway, Kennichi...
