Description: Gigantor (Japanese: 鉄人28号, Hepburn: Tetsujin Nijūhachi-gō, lit. "Iron Man No. 28") is a 1963 anime adaptation of Tetsujin 28-go, a manga by Mitsuteru Yokoyama released in 1956. It debuted on US television in 1964. As with Speed Racer, the characters' original names were altered and the original series' violence was toned down for American viewers. The dub was created by Fred Ladd distributed in the US by Peter Rodgers Organization. The Gigantor series is set in the year 2000. The show follows the exploits of little Jimmy Sparks, a 12-year-old boy who controls Gigantor, a huge flying robot, with a remote control. The robot is made of steel and has a rocket-powered backpack for flight.
Description: A bold, emblem-style graphic featuring a robotic character with a helmet, glowing yellow eyes, and articulated arms. Prominently displays the text "GIGANTOR" in large, white capital letters above a red hexagonal panel with the text "• TETSUJIN 28 •". The overall aesthetic is that of a retro-futuristic mechanical character.
