Dr. Hornbender, referred to as Kamikutta in Japanese, is an elderly goat astrologist and astronomer dwelling in an observatory, driven by a fervent ambition to uncover new planets, constellations, and extraterrestrial life while pursuing a personal legacy through a star named after him.

His scientific endeavors frequently spiral into chaos due to misinterpretations. A rearranged star map, secretly altered to mimic a companion’s face, leads him to erroneously warn of an apocalyptic planetary collision, sparking panic until the community deduces the error. Similarly, he mistakes walkie-talkie static for alien signals, triggering an elaborate hoax to simulate extraterrestrial contact.

Technological mishaps further disrupt his work: during an inquiry into a suspicious figure, his telescope vanishes temporarily, derailing his celestial observations.

Interactions with gadgets and peers often position him at the heart of scientific farce, where his earnest deductions inadvertently spark communal crises. These scenarios pivot on collaborative resolutions, underscoring his role in weaving astronomy-themed humor into the series through misguided yet well-intentioned antics.
