A throwback rashie for all the fans of Mecha and Kaiju lore. The term mecha refers to giant robots or Mechas: humanoid mobile robots. The term was first used in Japanese (meka) after shortening the English loanword mekanikaru ('mechanical'). The first humanoid giant robot piloted by the protagonist appeared in the manga Atomic Power Android (Genshiryoku Jinzo Ningen) in 1948. The manga and anime Astro Boy, introduced in 1952, with its humanoid robot protagonist, was a key influence on the development of the giant robot genre in Japan. The first anime featuring a giant mecha being piloted by the protagonist from within a cockpit was the Super Robot show #MazingerZ written by Go Nagai.
