Astro Boy

Astro Boy (アトム Atomu), known in Japan as 鉄腕アトム Mighty Atom or Iron Arm Atom or just Astro, is a fictional character created by Osamu Tezuka and the main hero of every series in the Astro Boy franchise.
Astro is a robot male with human emotions created by Umataro Tenma (known in English as Dr. Boynton before 2003). Tenma created Astro in the image of his deceased son Tobio Tenma (called Toby in English before 2003). After learning that Astro is robotic and therefore cannot function like a biological human boy, Tenma sold Astro to a robotic circus out of a fit of rage. Astro was forced into fighting other robots against his will in the robot circus, but was eventually rescued by Dr. Hiroshi Ochanomizu (best known in English as Dr. Packadermus Elefun). Astro fits the embodiment of a hero, having a strong sense of justice and is always willing to defend those who can't defend themselves. A natural pacifist, he always attempts to solve situations intelligently with diplomacy. He has an extreme care for the preciousness of life, much like his real-world creator Osamu Tezuka himself.
