誰是奇利柯醫生？他是手塚治虫漫畫《怪醫黑傑克》中的主要角色，重要性僅次於黑傑克醫生以及皮諾可。如果讀原著漫畫，對於這號人物肯定印象深刻，不過奇利柯在電視卡通的戲分比較少，電影《兩位神祕醫師》中，奇利柯有出現，和黑傑克的互動非常耐人尋味。
原著漫畫對奇利柯的身世並沒有清楚說明，導致他有點神祕，知名度也大大遜於黑傑克、皮諾可。這篇文章英文的部份取自「Tezuka in English」，因為寫得滿好，所以翻成中文，希望大家能夠更了解他。採中英對照，中文有疑義時，請自行參照原文。
談到奇利柯，老實說我覺得他在漫畫裡面的模樣一點也不吸引人，跟「帥氣」、「性格」沾不上一點邊，後來在卡通和OVA裡面，他的地位才逐漸被突顯出來，臉孔更加立體，個性鮮明，某種程度上挺迷人的，與黑傑克對立的形象也讓他成為不可或缺的角色，大部分人生觀的衝突、生命的意義等課題都由此彰顯出來。至於在同人創作中，因配對的需要，他的重要性就更不用說了(笑)。
ABOUT DR. KIRIKO
Dr. Kiriko does not appear in the two English volumes of the Black Jack manga, but he does appear in the original OAVs, in episode four: Two Dark Doctors.
關於奇利柯
奇利柯醫生沒有出現在兩本英文版的《怪醫黑傑克》漫畫中 (譯按：英文版的漫畫只有出版兩本，非常地少；義大利版出了25本，法文版出了十幾本 ) ，但在OVA第四集「拒食‧兩位無照醫師」他有現身其中。
Black Jack has many enemies, but Dr. Kiriko is his only true nemesis and rival. Often referred to as “Black Jack’s Dark Reflection”, Kiriko is a brilliant doctor who served in the second world war. His experiences of violence and suffering have driven him to believe that death is sometimes a better alternative than a life of pain, a conclusion precisely opposed to Black Jack’s conviction that one should always fight for life no matter the circumstances. Dr. Kiriko now operates as an underground doctor, much like Black Jack, traveling the world and charging fees as outrageous as Black Jack’s for his own special service, painless euthanasia.
與黑傑克為敵的人有很多，但只有奇利柯才是他真正的死對頭。奇利柯是位傑出的醫生，過去曾在第二次世界大戰中服務，因為經歷過創傷和磨難，他相信與其痛苦一生，不如選擇死亡一途，因而常被視為是黑傑克的黑暗反映面。相反地，黑傑克認為我們應該不計後果，為了生存奮戰到底。奇利柯和黑傑克很像，也是名地下醫師，在世界各地旅行，提供他獨有的服務「安樂死」，並收取同樣惡名昭彰的高昂費用。
Because Black Jack and Kiriko have known one another for a very long time, and because they are fundamentally so similar but with opposite philosophies of medicine, the combination is quite explosive whenever the two cross paths. Indeed, it is fair to say that, while on their own Kiriko and Black Jack are both good, principled people, whenever the two cross paths they both become vicious, petty, and often downright cruel in their attempts not only to thwart the other but to rub the other’s face in failure. Many of the most objectionable acts Black Jack ever commits he does to battle Kiriko, but on the rare occasions that they work together, they make such perfect partners that one can only mourn the fact that they cannot work together more often.
黑傑克和奇利柯已經認識彼此很久了，他們在本質上很相似，但因為抱持著相反的醫學觀，狹路相逢時總不免擦出火花。我們可以這們說，各自的兩個人都很良善、潔身自愛，但只要一碰頭就變得不懷好意、心胸狹窄和徹底的殘酷無情，不僅設法阻撓對方，對方失敗後也加以諷刺責難。很多時候，黑傑克是為了和奇利柯競爭，才表現出讓人討厭的樣子，但在極少數的場合中，兩個人卻能配合得天衣無縫，只可惜事實上他們不可能再次一起合作了。
Dr. Kiriko’s character was created for his role in Black Jack, but he appears also in the science-fiction manga Prime Rose (1982), a series in which Black Jack himself does not appear. I have no information yet about his role in that , except that he wears a military uniform and carries a sword. Kiriko’s character design is unusual for Tezuka’s characters in that he has gray shading on his cheeks – Tezuka rarely uses gray tone in his character designs. The images we see of young Kiriko bear a striking resemblance to Jiro Tenge from Ayako, which was written from 1972-1973, shortly before Dr. Kiriko's first appearance in Black Jack in October 1974.
奇利柯醫生這個角色專為《怪醫黑傑克》而創造，但他也出現在科幻漫畫《Prime Rose》(1982)裡面。我尚不清楚他在裡面的角色，只知道他穿著軍服、配了一把劍。奇利柯的角色設定相較於其他手塚筆下的人物，顯得很不尋常：他的臉頰有塊灰色的陰影，手塚老師創造人物時很少用到灰色色調。奇利柯年輕時候的模樣和《奇子》漫畫裡面的天外仁朗長得非常相像，《奇子》這部漫畫是在1972和1973年間完成的，稍稍早於1974年11月奇利柯醫生在《怪醫黑傑克》中的初次登場。
←奇利柯在《Prime Rose》中的樣子，看不出來衣著。
←《奇子》中的天外仁朗
↓軍醫時期的奇利柯和天外仁朗幾乎是同個模子做出來的。
Here follows an incomplete list of Dr. Kiriko’s appearances, with summaries, since none of these manga issues have been printed in English. Note that Kiriko also appears in the 4th episode of the original OAV series, the recent BLACK JACK: TWO DARK DOCTORS movie, several episodes in the Black Jack 21 TV series, and one episode of the online Flash animation series.
接下來是奇利柯醫生出場的部份清單，畢竟下面這些漫畫都沒有出成英文版。請注意我們可以在下列動畫中看到奇利柯出現：OVA第四集、最近的電影「兩位神秘醫師」、「怪醫黑傑克21」裡面好幾集、線上動畫影集。
Manga issue #46, Bacteriological Weapon aka "God of Death's Incarnation"
Dr. Black Jack and Dr. Kiriko are both hired by the military and brought blindfolded to a secret research base where they are to examine some plague victims. It becomes apparent that their patients have been infected with an experimental biological weapon and the military have no intention of allowing them to be cured, and that the military chose Black Jack and Kiriko because the two are underground doctors, thus little fuss will be raised if they are secretly disposed of. Black Jack and Kiriko work together to escape and save the patients, and a number of the military men are killed in the process.
第46話「恐怖菌」
軍方同時聘用了黑傑克和奇利柯兩人，他們被矇眼帶到一個秘密實驗基地，替一些傳染病患做檢查。那些病患顯然是被一種實驗性生化武器所感染，但軍方不打算治癒他們，於是請來了都是密醫的黑傑克和奇利柯，這樣就算病患被偷偷殺掉，也不會引起恐慌。黑傑克和奇利柯聯手救了病患，並且幫助他們逃亡，在這過程中幾位軍人因而喪命。
Manga #56, Black Mirror Image
Black Jack is hired by two children to save their hospitalized mother, but the mother has secretly hired Dr. Kiriko to euthanize her to relieve her children of the burden of caring for her. Black Jack discovers this, and he and Kiriko make a bet, with the operating fee as the steaks, Black Jack winning if he can save the woman, Kiriko if he fails. Black Jack struggles and in the end does save the woman, but after the operation the ambulance who was transporting her crashes, killing both the woman and her two children. Dr. Kiriko mocks Black Jack saying that no matter what man does he cannot conquer death, but Black Jack vows to keep fighting.
第56話「兩個黑衣怪醫」(「兩個密醫」)
黑傑克受兩個孩子的委託，醫治他們在醫院裡的母親，然而，那位母親為了減輕子女照護的負擔，偷偷另外請來奇利柯醫生為她安樂死。黑傑克發現此事之後，以手術費作為賭注，如果他救了那名母親，他就收下錢那筆錢，若失敗了，則歸給奇利柯。黑傑克費盡心神總算救了她，但載運她的救護車發生了車禍，她和兩個孩子一同喪生。奇利柯嘲諷黑傑克終究無法戰勝死亡，即使如此，黑傑克誓言他會一直奮鬥下去。
↓這話的經典場面。漫畫中奇利柯的形象枯槁，有時候甚至看起來挺討人厭的。
Manga #79, The Killing Doctor
Dr, Kiriko storms into Black Jack’s home without warning, demanding to know where his father is. After he departs, his sister arrives, bringing his father who is gravely ill. She explains that after many doctors have failed to cure their father, her brother is now determined to euthanize him, and she has brought him to Dr. Black Jack as the last chance to save his life. Black Jack accepts the case, but Kiriko returns, and the two fight viciously over the question of whether or not to kill the patient. Black Jack attempts an operation, allowing Kiriko to assist, though Kiriko insists it is in vain. In the end Black Jack discovers a way to cure the father, but Kiriko has already secretly administered a lethal injection, and his father dies on Black Jack’s operating table. Despite the obvious pain Kiriko is in facing his sister and the death of his father, Black Jack nevertheless lectures him at length about his “evil” ways, though Kiriko declares he will continue to practice euthanasia.
第79話「瓣膜」
奇利柯無預警闖進黑傑克家，想知道他父親的行蹤。等到奇利柯離開後，他的姊姊帶著病重的父親前來拜訪，她說許多醫生都無法醫治父親，奇利柯正打算為他安樂死，這次求助黑傑克是父親最後一次生存的機會。黑傑克接受了委託，這時奇利柯卻回來了，為了「可不可以殺掉病患」的問題，兩個人激烈爭執。黑傑克嘗試動手術，允許奇利柯當助手，奇利柯卻覺得一切只是白費功夫。黑傑克最後發現了治療的方法，沒料到奇利柯早已悄悄注射了毒藥，使父親死在黑傑克的手術台上。即使面對父親身亡和姊姊，奇利柯並不感到特別痛苦，黑傑克仍極力訓斥他那惡魔般的做法，然而，奇利柯說他依然會繼續替人安樂死。
↓黑傑克發現奇利柯的行為後，簡直氣炸了，狠狠打了他一巴掌。
Manga #146, Water which Very Near to Transparent
Dr. Kiriko’s sister comes again to Black Jack, this time because Kiriko has been infected with an incurable and highly contagious illness and quarantined himself on an island intending to die there. Black Jack comes at the sister’s request and, against Kiriko’s will, works to cure him and prevents Kiriko’s many attempts to kill himself to prevent the spread of the infection. In the end Black Jack succeeds in finding the source of the illness, a giant paramecium parasite whose composition, 99.9% water, makes it almost invisible. Black Jack removes the parasite and mocks Kiriko quite viciously, though Kiriko still insists that Black Jack should have let him die rather than risk spreading the plague. Both here and in “The Killing Doctor” the depictions of Kiriko’s sister are quite sexual, with a subtle romantic tension between her and Black Jack, who is so similar to her brother. The illness depicted in this issue is used as the basis for the mysterious illness in the first episode of the Black JackOAV series, though Dr. Kiriko does not appear in that OAV.
第146話「百分之九十九的水」
奇利柯的姊姊再度拜訪黑傑克，這一次是因為奇利柯感染了一種極強的傳染病，而且無法治癒，他於是將自己隔離在一座小島上，打算在那裡死去。黑傑克答應了她的請求，不顧奇利柯的反對，開始著手治療，幾度奇利柯為了避免感染擴散全身而企圖自殺，也被黑傑克阻止了。黑傑克最後找到了致病的原因：一隻寄居的阿米巴蟲，百分之九十九由水分組成，因此看起來幾乎是透明的。黑傑克將它移除後，還向奇利柯嘲弄了一番，即使如此，奇利柯認為黑傑克早該結束掉他的生命，以防疫情傳播出去。
這個故事和第79話「瓣膜」一樣，對於奇利柯姊姊的描繪都頗為搧情，黑傑克作為一個和她哥哥很相像的人，曖昧的情愫瀰漫在她與黑傑克之間。OVA第一集「神秘怪獸病」中的疾病就是以這個故事作為基礎，但奇利科醫生並無出現在其中。
(希望我沒有譯錯才好，這篇英文的作者不知何許人也，為什麼他會認為尤莉和黑傑克之間存在著淡淡的浪漫氛圍？尤莉的形象可以用「sexual」這個字形容嗎？是不是因為她有脫衣服？我倒覺得山本賢治老師畫的版本比較淫穢 Orz )
Manga #177, One Hour Before Death
Dr. Black Jack and Dr. Kiriko meet in a restaurant, where Kiriko tells Black Jack about a new poison he has obtained for his euthanasia. While the two talk, the poison is stolen by a boy who thinks it is medicine which will help his sister. Black Jack and Kiriko together race to save the girl, and for once we get to see how well the two work together.
第177話「生死一瞬間」(「死前一小時」)
黑傑克在一間餐廳裡遇見奇利柯，奇利柯告訴黑傑克一種他要用來安樂死的新毒藥。他們交談的時候，毒藥被名男孩偷走了，因為他認為這種藥應該可以幫助他姊姊。黑傑克和奇利柯為了救回那名女孩，一同追了上去，我們再一次看到兩人是多麼合作無間。(譯按：原文的sister應改為mother，看漫畫也知道服下毒藥的人有點年紀了，總不會是個女孩吧！)

Black Jack OAV episode 4, Two Dark Doctors
Based partly on Manga #56, “Black Mirror Image” and partly on Manga #134 “Death of a Movie Star” (which did not contain Dr. Kiriko). In this story Black Jack is hired to treat a young movie star suffering from a strange and severe form of anorexia. In her despair, she tries to run away, and is rescued from a car wreck by Dr. Kiriko. She correctly identifies him as the legendary euthanasia doctor, but she has already given every penny she had to Dr. Black Jack, so has none left to hire him. In the end it is Kiriko’s special knowledge of biological warfare which lets him identify the illness as a byproduct of an old bio-engineered bacteriological parasite, and thanks to him Black Jack is able to cure the illness and save the woman. Kiriko leaves abruptly without any final words.
OVA第四集「拒食‧兩位無照醫師」
依據漫畫第56話「兩個黑衣怪醫」以及第134話「女明星之死」(裡面沒有奇利柯)改編而成。在這故事中，黑傑克受聘治療一位年輕的女明星，她罹患了奇怪而且嚴重的厭食症。女明星在絕望之餘逃跑了，後來卡在扭曲變型的車子裡，被奇利柯醫生救出來，她很快就認出奇利柯就是傳說中為人安樂死的醫生，但因為她所有的錢都給了黑傑克醫生，所以無法聘請奇利柯。故事最後，奇利柯運用他對生化戰爭的了解，發覺她的疾病其實是以前經生物改造的細菌性寄生蟲引起的，拜他之賜，黑傑克成功治癒疾病，救了女明星。奇利柯突然離開時，並沒有留下任何一句話。
