Hello,
does anyone know the Japanese names of characters in the 1980s series?
I saw on a webpage somewhere that the schoolkids names were:
English name Japanese name
Mindy.........................Midori
Kenneth.....................Kenichi
Theodore/ Teddy.........Tamao
Astro.........................Atom
Alvin..........................?
I'm not sure what webpage that was on. It seems like the characters have similar-sounding English names to their Japanese names.

Interestingly, in the hijacked airship episode for this particular series, we learn that Kenichi's last name is Tezuka. This was probably decided as an in-joke. A few scenes later, another of Astro's classmates gets mentioned: Osamu!

Thanks for that. ^__^
F-Man: Do you have the 80s series in Japanese? I have the 80s series on DVD, but I only have 2 episodes in Japanese. The rest are in English.

Ironically enough, in the US it's the complete opposite. The complete first two episodes are missing, but except for that, the entire show can be watched in Japanese with subtitles. I haven't bought it yet just for that reason.

Yes, I remember Miss Honda from the Japanese version. She was pretty.
