1295-B Pencil Board

The pencil board, also known as shijitaki (下敷き) to many English speaking anime and manga fans, used English text rather than Japanese to provide descriptions of the depicted characters. The following is not translated by me.

A mysterious boy who wears the make-up of a clown or hides behind pair of dark sunglasses. His name is probably false. No one knows his real identity or, for that matter, his age or nationality. He pilots GUNDAM 3 (GUNDAM HEAVYARMS). Despite his laughing clown's make-up, he is always somber, cool and quiet. His actions sometimes reveal the sadness of one forced to live among people who like to fight. He sees himself as a weapon made for fighting and is resigned to whatever fate has in store for him, but he knows that nothing will be solved, regardless of how many foes he kills. He conceals his GUNDAM by roaming the world as part of a travelling Mobile Suit Circus.
