Appearance[]
Munk is a tall, lanky, and androgynous youth in his mid-20s to early 30s. He has curly blonde hair styled as a pompador. He is almost always seen wearing a robot-esque mask, and also a top hat and jewellery. Without his mask, he has a heart-shaped face with blue eyes and soft features.
Personality[]
Munk reading to village children
Munk is a bit of a loner, usually watching Outland from afar, or playing his accordion. He does happen to be one of Boon's best friends, and takes pity on Astro when the boy has amnesia. Munk, along with his other friends Jake and Tiara, welcome Astro into Outland and begin to show him around.
Munk, unmasked
Munk's characterization varies between the Japanese and English versions. In the Japanese version, Munk has a soft, effeminate voice, and his character is rather delicate. He believes in people's hearts, and claims his mask allows him to see the true character of others. In the English version, Munk has a deep cool-guy voice, and is casual and slick. He explains to Astro that he wears his mask so most people won't recognize him.
