A manipulator that deforms a leaf spring by pushing and pulling a leaf spring to operate an operating portion with multiple degrees of freedom is a flexible operating body including a horizontal leaf spring, a curved vertical leaf spring, a shaft body, and an operating portion ( A first flexible operating body and a second flexible operating body). The pair of flexible actuators are overlapped so that one of the first flexible actuators is opposite to the other of the second flexible actuators, and are rotatably connected by pins penetrating the respective shafts. You. A pair of outer horizontal plate springs (first outer horizontal plate) extending in the same direction as the horizontal plate springs, while holding the horizontal plate springs of the pair of flexible actuators in parallel in the holder supporting both ends of the pin. (A spring and a second outer horizontal leaf spring) are integrally formed.板ばねの押し引きにより板ばねを変形させて作動部を多自由度で動作させるマニピュレータは、横板ばねと、湾曲縦板ばねと、軸体と、作動部と、を含む可撓作動体（第１可撓作動体、第２可撓作動体）を、一対備える。一対の可撓作動体は、一方の第１可撓作動体に対して他方の第２可撓作動体が反対となるように重ねられ、それぞれの軸体を貫通したピンによって回転自在に連結される。ピンの両端を支持するホルダには、一対の可撓作動体のそれぞれの横板ばねを平行に挟むとともに、横板ばねと同方向に延在する一対の外側横板ばね（第１外側横板ばね、第２外側横板ばね）が一体的に形成される。
