Kobe Gigantor
Recently, I wrote about the full size, 18 meter Gundam found in Odaiba, Tokyo to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
A 18 meter Gigantor robot is currently being constructed in Kobe (about a 2 hour bullet train ride west of Tokyo, home of the famous and expensive Kobe beef) which is scheduled for completion at the end of September. The original Japanese name for Gigantor is Tetsujin 28-Go.
Just like the Gundam in Tokyo, Gigantor in Kobe is sure to be a popular tourist attraction.
Visit the Kobe Gigantor Project web site for more details.
This monument is being built in 神戸 (Kobe) because the artist who created the 「鉄人２８号」 character was born in Kobe.
