LOL! Very funny.

Well, good thing it was a Japanese car and not an Italian car like Mrs. Ferari

[Androids101]

Or Mrs. Lamborghini.

What's wrong with Italian cars?

[Astro Boy2866]

Nothing, italian sports cars are awesome

[Androids101]

Agreed.

Hello,

does anyone know the Japanese names of characters in the 1980s series?

I saw on a webpage somewhere that the schoolkids names were:

English name Japanese name

Mindy.........................Midori
Kenneth.....................Kenichi
Theodore/ Teddy.........Tamao
Astro.........................Atom
Alvin..........................?

I'm not sure what webpage that was on. It seems like the characters have similar-sounding English names to their Japanese names.

Alvin is Shibugaki; I am not sure if that is his given or family name, though.
Check out my story reviews on Tezuka in English, as I give the names of the characters in the B&W series' 1st season:

I think its his given name; Im not sure.

Thanks Jeffbert. I didn't realise it also says his name on Wikipedia.
