Tetsujin 28-gō (鉄人28号, Iron Man #28″) is a 1956 manga written and illustrated by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, who also created Giant Robo.

The manga was later adapted into several anime TV series, the first in 1963. It was the first manga to feature a giant robot. The 1963 series was later released in America as Gigantor. A live action motion picture with heavy use of computer generated graphics was produced in Japan in 2005.

18-meter-tall statue of Mitsuteru Yokoyama’s Tetsujin 28-gō will be transported to the final site at Kobe’s Wakamatsu Park for assembly at the end of July. Its completion is planned for the end of September with a ceremony on October 4. The Kobe Tetsujin Project’s statue is intended as a symbol of the city’s revival after the 1995 Kobe Earthquake.
