Black Jack's real name is Kuro Hazama. A bomb destroyed his home when he was a child, killing his mother and giving him a lust for revenge. Kuro's body was nearly torn to shreds, but he was rescued thanks to miraculous surgery by Dr. Jotaro Honma. Marked by this experience, Kuro decided to become a surgeon himself, taking the name of Black Jack.
Despite his surgical genius, he has chosen never to obtain a surgical license, operating instead in the shadows. He scorns such things as licenses as a meaningless symbol of social status, preferring to live in anonymity. He is based in a secret private clinic far away from the city, but frequently travels to hospitals around the world to covertly assist terminally ill patients.
Pinoko is Black Jack's sidekick, a little girl constructed entirely by him from spare body parts. She was a rare type of Siamese twin, living in one of Black Jack's patients' bodies for eighteen years. Then Black Jack extracted her and gave her a real body. She proclaims herself to be BJ's wife and is the comic relief to the otherwise intensely dramatic Black Jack saga.
The doctor has suggested another physical and Pinoko doesn't seem too happy about that.
