SynopsisAstro Boy was created by Doctor Boyton when his son Toby died in a car accident. Astro is an exact match for Toby. And was origionally called Toby by his "father".
When Astro was first built, Doctor Boyton wanted to keep him a secret. But people eventually found about him and he became a hero.
Astro was seperated from his father during a cruise. Astro saved the ship from some ice burgs, when he returned, his father had disappeared. Astro was tricked into signing himself over to a robot circus. It was in the robot circus that he met Kathy, who gave Astro his name; Astro Boy.
After the Robot Circus, Astro was taken back to Japan by Doctor Elefan, a scientist who had recently been apointed head of the Ministry of Science.
Astro went to school and eventually, Doctor Elefan built parents for Astro. Astro now lives with them and his dog, Jump.

Created in 1952, Osamu Tezuka revolutionized american cartoons forever when Astro Boy came to our American televisions in 1963. It is recognized as one of the first popular animes to be in America.
Osamu Tezuka offers to younger audiences along with teenagers who have nothing better to do. It's cute brand of comedic satire brought in audiences of both genders. Action and a funny, yet dramatic storyline set in the distant future of 2003 (oh no!) make it so popular to everyone.
my father remembers watching Astro Boy as a kid, and now the old cartoon has come back once more. Astro Boy is now aired on Adult Swim on the weekends. You can get a fun, interesting storyline as well as blast from the past when you watch this awesome cartoon. One of my personal favorites, Astro Boy will definitely be a favorite to kids for a long time to come. read more
