'''''Gigantor''''' (originally '''''Tetsujin 28-gogō''''' 鉄人28号, literally ''Iron Man #28'') was a [[manga]] by [[Mitsuteru Yokoyama]] published in 1958 which was later made into several [[anime]] series, the first in 1963. It was the first "giant robot" series.
It is now being made into a film in Japan based on the old comics as opposed to the newer version in "New Gigantor" which was translated into many languages including Arabic.
