Space Channel 5

Chief Space Michael is a major character and the overall tritagonist in the Space Channel 5 series who made his first major appearance in Space Channel 5: Part 2. He was a 500 year-old reporter for Channel 5, who later took the position of Chief after Blank. Space Michael liked to dance and sing, and was in close relations with Ulala, a fellow reporter for Channel 5.

Before Purge was defeated, Space Michael and Channel 5 headquarters were under attack, and he was hypnotized by Shadow in the process. After she saved him, Space Michael teamed up with Ulala, Pudding and several others to put an end to his obsession with ratings and fame, and ultimately was one of the heroes who saved the Galaxy.

With the death of Michael Jackson in 2009, Sega presumably retired the Space Michael character out of respect, and limited his appearance in their media, including the Space Channel 5 series. It is unknown what Space Michael’s current living status is.
