This manipulator (10) is provided with: a shaft (16) a tip operation section (14) having a gripper (12) and a handle (18) that causes the operation of the gripper (12). The tip operation section (14) is provided with: a bowing section (34) that is provided between the gripper (12) and the shaft (16) and that causes the tip operation section (14) to bow in a direction differing from the axial direction of the shaft (16) by means of a bending-direction operating force transmitted from the handle (18) and a hollow tube (82) that is provided to a position overlapping the bowing section (34), can bow following the bowing section (34), and transmits to the gripper (12) operating force transmitted from the handle (18) in the rotational direction rotating centered on the axis of the gripper (12), thus being able to unlimitedly rotate the gripper (12).
