If anybody can read those name plates, I would really like to know their names.


Okay yes now I'm able to see their titles more clearly and yes this is the Foreign Minister and the Prime Minister.

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT?

I think I found one guy's name & page: http://www.janm.org/collections/item/96.267.908/

The other guy seems to be Eisaku Sato, though I do not see much resemblance.

Yes, this is very interesting information. I'm glad it was pointed out that "Tetsuwan Atom" had a lot of satirical content, as to caricature Japan's then, Prime Minister as well as another of its historically significant ministers also, of that period. (or 1964 to be more specific.)

The caricatures themselves may not have been the best, but looking at the pictures in the links you provided, I could see the resemblence.

Thank you again for these little insightful tidbits. It makes me appreciate the work of the "Mighty Atom" creator and his production staff even more.

I :heart: :astro: :D

No, actually, young Tobio has a similar appearance.[/QUOTE]

Here's what I mean about his hair looking like Uran's --

Those points on Space Tobio have moved -- different from adult Astro (from Astro Stolen). Of course, Tobio has HAIR so maybe he tweaks his spikes! :p [/QUOTE]
