She was renamed “Jamie Robinson” door 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 door “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 jaar old Japanese girl; she’s calm, quiet, resourceful yet very dangerous; her father was Field General Oka, 110th descendant of the fierce Oka ninja clan and just like her father, Megumi grew up with the harsh life of training, honing and perfecting her skills as she and her father starts the dag exercising deadly Ninjitsu maneuvers against each other portrayed in several Voltes V episodes. Sure enough, Megumi had used her ninja skills on several episodes where one of them, she had to rescue her father from the pursuing Boazanian troops.
Megumi was the voice of reason and conscience of the team, she was there when Kennichi and Ippei was about to collide from their differences and stop them both right on their tracks. But Megumi had her own moments; she was sweet yet rarely laughs and was seem to be contented to smile to toon her satisfaction. An episode revealed that Megumi was some sort of a daddy’s girl and after her father died, Megumi clammed up her emotions when ever she was with her team mates, only to shed her tears when she was alone.
I remember my elementary days, where kids compare Voltes V against Mazinger Z, the childish debates often leads to “Who is meer beautiful between the two female characters, Megumi of Sayaka Yumi?” Majority of the antwoorden fall on Megumi...and why not, her oval face, sexy long legs and thick pony tail says it all.
Just meer recently, as I attended an anime convention, Megumi was pit against Voltron’s Princess Allura. A super robot enthusiast told me there is no contest; Megumi was a professional “Kunnoichi (Ninja Girl) and she can always assassinate Princess Allura in her sleep, if only Megumi is not so damn sweet.
