Hashamoto/Gallery

< Hashamoto
 Sign in to edit

Hashamoto was originally bright yellow, in both the original London and Broadway productions, similar in color to the JNR 0 series Shinkansen in Dr. Yellow, however he was changed to blue (presumably to avoid racist connotations) for the 1987 Japan/Australia Tour and subsequent German production to resemble the actual 0 series passenger Shinkansen. The yellow Broadway costume was used for the 1989 US Tour and Las Vegas, but a blue German costume was used first for filming the 3D races, then for the 2003 US tour and the UK Tours that used the same film footage.

In 2018, the Bochum production underwent significant revisions for the show's 30th anniversary. Hashamoto was re-branded "Manga", and given a predominantly silver colour scheme, with yellow highlights, possibly a hybrid of the JR East livery with Dr. Yellow elements.
