154 Katsuji

Katsuji is a pastiche of the 1986 animated TV show G-Force: Guardians of Space, which was a re-working of the 1978 show Battle of Planets, which itself was the American adaptation of the 1972 Japanese property Science Ninja Team Gatchaman.

Katsuji is a nod to the character Keyop from these shows. Being the youngest and the smallest, Keyop often turned out to be the comic relief among the group of heroes. Though he looks human, he is actually an artificial life-form that was experimentally manufactured from a single embryonic cell.
