Orko (pron-en??rko?) is a fictional character from the Masters of the Universe franchise. He was not part of the original toy collection on which the show is based; he was created by the shows writers to serve as comic relief. A toy figure of him was then manufactured. Orko appears in the 1980s Filmation series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and in the 2002 remake of the series (He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002)). The character was named Gorpo in the early original series drafts, and that name was still used in the Brazilian Portuguese dub of the original series, but he was renamed Orko for animation purposes; Filmation artists often flipped the character cels, a technique that works best when the characters are symmetrical in design, and putting a "G" on Orkos shirt would have complicated the process because the letter G is not a symmetrical shape.
