In 1982, the Kings Idea Laboratory created an old-fashioned robot maid named Tetsuko. She resides with and serves Milk. Although she is more reserved than others on the show, Tetsuko occasionally provides a voice of reason when questioning Milks decisions. She longs for a traditional family life, which her human companions do not value. Milk often refers to her as "junk" and Tetsuko struggles with feelings of love for Dr. Eyepatch (her "father") while also being disappointed in him when he insults or offers to replace her. Tetsuko possesses the ability to produce a lethal fart known as "Tetsukos gas." The only individual who brings out her aggressive side is Robodog, whom she detests. Their conflict over Milks affections amuses Milk.
