Abstract	In this article, an android robot head is proposed for stage performances. As is well known, an android robot is a type of humanoid robot which is considered to be more like a human than many others types. An android robot has human-like joint structures and artificial skin, and so is the robot which is closest to a human in appearance. To date, several android robots have been developed, but most of them have been made for research purposes or exhibitions. In this article, attention is drawn to the more commercial value of an android robot, especially in the acting field. EveR-3, the android robot described here, has already been used in commercial plays in the theater, and through these it has been possible to learn which features of an android robot are necessary for it to function as an actor. A new 9-DOF head has been developed for stage performances. The DOF are reduced when larger motors are used to make exaggerated expressions, because exaggerated expressions are more important on the stage than detailed, complex expressions. LED lights are installed in both cheeks to emphasize emotional expressions by changes in color in the way that make-up is used to achieve a similar effect on human faces. From these trials, a new head which is more suitable for stage performances has been developed.
