I keep thinking Arthur, but that was the actor's name, and also the name of his sergeant.

Re: Trivia Question of the Day
Thanks awfully.
Ok.....the only thing I can think of just now; In the 1960's there was a Japanese TV series that was very popular in Australia, especially amongst Children.
What was it called, who was the Star and what was his name in the series?
