Astro Boy mural painting, Takadanobaba, Tokyo

The story from the Astro Boy manga created by Osamu Tezuka is set in what was then the future, the year 2003. In the manga, Dr. Tenma, who was working in the Tokyo’s neighborhood of Takadanobaba, creates Astro Boy, an invincible robot, after his son dies in a car accident.

I stayed in Takadanobaba for almost two weeks, so I visited it as soon as I arrived: shops, restaurants, bowling and gaming arcades… But what’s nice is that in the evening, there’s always a large crowd of students meeting in the small park in front of it. It reminded me of my student days…
