Job John

Job John
Job John (ジョプ・ジョソ Jobpu Jonso) was one of the minor characters in the classic anime TV series Mobile Suit Gundam. He first appears on Luna II. Despite being a minor character aboard the White Base, Job makes frequent appearances among the crew and is prominently shown in all shots where the full crew is assembled. He also makes frequent appearances performing various roles throughout the ship and has voiced dialogue comparable in volume to the bridge operators, though less of it being in the form of status reports.

Character
Being a minor character of Mobile Suit Gundam and serving the role of being essentially a Federation extra on the White Base, Job does not get much character expression or development. He would seem to be fairly emotionally stable and not as prone to emotional moments as characters such as Amuro Ray and Hayato Kobayashi. He is loyal, but somewhat lacking in acute awareness.

History
Little of Job's history is known. His first major appearances are near Luna II. Despite the fact that he wears a Federation uniform, It is likely that he was a civilian living on Side 7 as he was never addressed as a potential candidate for MS piloting and not addressed as a cadet as in the cases of Ryu Jose and Hayato.

While no specific role was shown for Job during the series he served a number of roles throughout the series. When Sayla Mass first sortied he was shown as manning the hangar controls and reveals that he had assisted in her launch believing she had orders. He later serves as a guard for the central Gunperry hangar when two Zeon spies come aboard the ship, believing them to be civilians, he follows orders to guard them while their plane is repaired and not allow them access to sections outside the room adjacent the hangar. Later in the same episode he appears alongside Bright Noa and Mirai Yashima in an orange normal suit directly after the White Base is engaged in an aerial battle, thus implying that he also served as a turret gunner. Job's last major appearance was when the White Base crew was receiving orders at Jaburo and it is possible that he did not go on to serve in space. He is not shown on the launch with most of the crew during the series/films final sequence, though he may have been aboard the other launch. His role in later years is not confirmed and he does not appear in any series after Mobile Suit Gundam.
