Rainbow Parakeet (七色いんこ, Nana-iro Inko) (German: Regenbogenfarbener Papagei) is a manga series created by Osamu Tezuka dealing with the adventures of the eponymous phantom thief. Collected in seven volumes, it has been published in France by Asuka.

Plot

Rainbow Parakeet is a genius as an actor, and a thief at the same time. As he is not a full-time thespian, he is usually hired as a replacement.[1] During the performance, he steals from the wealthiest members of the audience or even actors, depriving them of the contents of their purses or their jewelry.[2][4] True to his alias name "Rainbow Parakeet", he can assume the role of almost any part and change into any costume, and his repertoire is immense.[1]

His methods are a mystery, even to the detectives charged with apprehending him: Police Inspector Senri and his daughter, Police Detective Mariko Senri.

General remarks

The work was serialized in the Weekly Shonen Champion and ran from 1981 to 1982.[5]

Each typical episode adapted or paid homage to a play from the West, or from the Japanese theater, both traditional and modern.[5] Examples include Ibsen (Episode 3: Doll's House) and Shakespeare (Episode 35: The dog Tamasaburō faces the threat of being fed to a lion named Shylock).[6][3][7]

The work has been adapted into several stage plays. The 2000 adaptation starred Goro Inagaki as Rainbow Parakeet and Rie Miyazawa as Mariko.[8] The 2018 adaptation featured an all-female cast, with Junna Ito as Rainbow Parakeet and Konoka Matsuda as Mariko.[9]
