This article describes Hiss from the original Space Battleship Yamato. For his counterpart in Space Battleship Yamato 2199 and its sequels, see Redof Hiss
Desler's toadying right-hand man, Hiss tries his best to please his leader, apologizing for every embarrassing mistake and passing his anger on to his underlings. However, during the climactic battle on Gamilas he implores Desler to make peace with the humans, earning him a bullet in the chest. In the first ten episodes, Hiss has the title of Deputy Leader (副総統). With episode eleven, his title changes to General (将軍).
Notes[]
- In the Star Blazers dub, Hiss was renamed "General Krypt".
- His name comes from Adolf Hitler's Deputy Führer, Rudolf Hess.
