is Roger's informant. He hangs around the Speakeasy, always reading the newspaper that is revealed in the finale to record the future. During the final episode, Big Ear is revealed to be an android, with synthetic skin applied over a metallic body, although this is not the case in the manga. His name likely comes from his almost comically large ears, which usually have in ear headphones, presumably to feed information. He also usually wears a kippah.
