Origin and background of the character
Created by manga artist Go Nagai,Mazinger Zis a major Japanese work first broadcast in 1972, considered the founder of the ‘Mecha’ genre featuring giant robots piloted from within. The plot follows the battles of the young pilot Koji Kabuto aboard an armoured combat robot, designed to repel attacks from Doctor Hell’s army of mechanical monsters. This universe lays the technological and narrative foundations that would inspire the author’s subsequent works, notably the seriesUFO Robot Grendizer(known in Europe asGoldorak), to which this product’s licence is officially linked.
