'''''Gigantor''''' (originally '''''Tetsujin 28-gō''''' 鉄人28号, literally ''Iron Man Number #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.

The 1980-81 "Iron Man #28 Go!" (Tetsujin Ni Jū Hachi Gō) series was broadcast on America's [[Sci-Fi Channel]] from [[9 September]] [[1993]] to [[30 June]] [[1997]] under the name "The New Adventures of Gigantor." There was also a sequel series, "Iron Man #28 Go! FX" (Tetsujin Ni Jū Hachi Gō EkkusuEfuekkusu), about the son of the original controller operating a new robot (with Daddy and the sound effect-less #28 appearing from time-to-time to help), which ran in Japan in 1992.
