Apart from the various references in character names(Kaneda Shoutarou, Akira(No. 28)/Tetsujin 28-gou, etc.), the titular characters in both(Akira in Akira, 28-gou in Tetsujin) are 'ultimate weapons', developed as a secret project for purposes of war, and capable of immense destruction. As Otomo himself stated, "You would probably not be going too far if you were to say that Akira was based on Tetsujin 28-Go".

Vintage very old school manga about young boy and remote controled giant robo. Both of these are progenitors to the mecha genre as we know it today.
