Tezuka Osamu had frequent cameos of his numerous characters show up in series other than their own, especially in his manga. As someone fascinated with the world of cinema and the musical stage, he seems to have thought of his characters as a sort of "stable" of actors and would occasionally bring them into various stories, sometimes in uncharacteristic roles. As one example, Higeoyaji (whom Americans generally know as Mr. Pompus) turns up in a lot of other anime and manga titles besides Tetsuwan Atomu; Hamuegu (Hamegg) and Asechurin-rampu (Acetyline Lamp) are sort of stock villains that Tezuka used widely as well. And in the anime movie "Marine Express," a number of the characters from Atomu appear in alternative roles.
In the Silent Mobius TV episode "Mobius Klein," Assembler from Kia Asamiya`s Compiler series makes a cameo talking to Katsumi`s Mother.
