{{nihongo|'''[[:ja:ヒゲオヤジ|Shunsaku Ban]]'''|伴俊作|Ban Shunsaku}}, or '''Shunsuke Ban''', is a bald, portly, middle-aged man with a large chalk-white moustache. He is an often comical and grumpy yet good-natured. He is 42 years old, as mentioned in one of the manga. His facial hair earns him the nickname {{nihongo|"Higeoyaji"|ヒゲオヤジ|"Old Man Mustache"}}. In the 1960s English version of the animated Astro Boy, his name was private detective Edgar Pompous, then Percival Pompous. Perhaps because his character was appearing in another animated series based on Tezuka's manga at the time, in the 1980s English animated Astro Boy changed his name to Albert Duncan, and he was given the nickname "[[Daddy Warbucks|Daddy Walrus]]". His typical role is that of a detective in other Tezuka materials, with sometimes a nephew/assistant named Ken'ichi ("Ken" or "Kennedy" in English versions of the ''Astro Boy'' TV series). The 1980s color remake (as well as the original manga) had him appear as Astro Boy's teacher, then as a detective. In the 2003 Astro Boy series, he is called Wally Kisaragi, and in the English-language manga, his "Higeoyaji" nickname is translated as "[[Mustachio]]". He is featured as either a regular character or a [[guest star]] in any of a number of Tezuka works. Shunsaku Ban is often cast as some sort of adventurer, usually an amateur or professional private investigator. His trademark characteristic is to confront danger with a comical wild-eyed panic, then after a moment recapture his composure and vigorously attack the threat.
