Astro Boy is using his seven powers not to fight evil to but to direct traffic in Kangawa as a new traffic light was erected in the prefecture using Astro Boy’s image as the pedestrian walk signals.
The traffic light was created to draw attention to the Sagami area, which is rebranding itself as the premier robot town and a “robot industrial zone.” Kanagawa Prefecture recently released a video highlighting the technological advances being made in Sagami.
Sagami and Kanagawa Prefecture are also hosting a variety of festivals and tours in the prefecture to publicize the Sagami area and its robot-building brand.
In addition to parades and exhibits featuring Astro Boy, Kanagawa is holding a “Find the Atom” competition for people around the region to race and find Astro Boy buttons in exchange for prizes.
