Frau Bow (フラウ・ボゥ, Furau Bō), also known as Frau Kobayashi, is a key character from the Universal Century Gundam universe, first appearing in the groundbreaking 43-episode 1979 anime series Mobile Suit Gundam . With the exception of a few mobile suit pilots on a reconnaissance mission for the Principality of Zeon, Frau is the first character we see and hear in the Gundam universe, even before the protagonist Amuro Ray. At the beginning of the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam, we see her arriving at Amuro's house in their home colony of Side 7 on the morning of September 18, UC 0079. Frau is fifteen, Amuro's close friend, and devoted to his welfare to such an extent that their neighbor and classmate Hayato Kobayashi, with a crush on Frau, refers to her as his "best friend," and is envious and resentful of him.

  • Frau Bow (フラウ・ボゥ, Furau Bō), also known as Frau Kobayashi, is a key character from the Universal Century Gundam universe, first appearing in the groundbreaking 43-episode 1979 anime series Mobile Suit Gundam . With the exception of a few mobile suit pilots on a reconnaissance mission for the Principality of Zeon, Frau is the first character we see and hear in the Gundam universe, even before the protagonist Amuro Ray. At the beginning of the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam, we see her arriving at Amuro's house in their home colony of Side 7 on the morning of September 18, UC 0079. Frau is fifteen, Amuro's close friend, and devoted to his welfare to such an extent that their neighbor and classmate Hayato Kobayashi, with a crush on Frau, refers to her as his "best friend," and is envious and resentful of him. With Amuro's parents separated and his father Dr. Tem Ray frequently away on business for the Earth Federation's Project V, Frau takes it upon herself to make sure that the perhaps charitably-described "engineering nerd" or "mecha otaku" eats, sleeps, bathes, lives in some degree of cleanliness, and, when we first see her, follows military evacuation orders. Frau eventually manages to alert Amuro to the ongoing evacuation and the need to leave, but when the colony is attacked by Zeon's Zaku II mobile suits, she loses her mother and grandfather -- the rest of her family -- in an explosion. Indeed, she only survives because she had been chasing Amuro as it happened to make sure he was all right. With this pivotal and catalytic moment in the story, things change forever. Seeing Frau prostrate with grief and shock, Amuro literally forces her to run for her life -- then, deeply angered and moved by witnessing her in such pain, decides to retaliate by jumping into the Federation Forces' experimental RX-78-2 "Gundam" mobile suit. Amazingly, Amuro succeeds at MS combat despite having only the Gundam's manual in his lap, and they both escape Side 7, along with other civilians from the colony, aboard the Earth Federation Space Forces (EFSF) ship White Base. What follows is the story of Mobile Suit Gundam. (en)
