Can someone please give me a character description of Astro Boy?
As created by Tezuka, ASTRO BOY is a robot created by a brilliant scientist as a substitute for his son who was killed in a traffic accident. The scientist gives ASTRO BOY his super powers – eyes like searchlights, ears that hear for miles, fingers enhanced with lasers, limbs that fire rockets and the ability to fly! But, along with these powers, ASTRO BOY also has a soul, a conscience and human emotion. Caught between humans and robots, ASTRO BOY experiences various difficult situations but grows up by overcoming the problems he faces. Three generations ago, ASTRO BOY ignited the imaginations of millions of Japanese children. Some of these same children became leaders in culture and industry, particularly in the field of robotics. ASTRO BOY had a major impact in a country searching for its future. And, this child-robot with a soul continues to inspire new generations of robot makers around the world.
