What Was "Astro Boy" Originally Called In Japan?

I'm doing a research paper on the history of anime :D

Best Answer

The literal translation of the characters of the title (?????) is"Iron Arm Atom" but if you actually say it in Japanese, it would be"Tetsuwan Atomu." Tetsu is iron and wan is arm. Atomu is just the way atom is pronounced. I actually checked Wikipedia for this but I know a bit about the language so I'm certain this is correct. :D Hope this helped! :)
