The anime TV series was produced by Toei Doga (now Toei Animation). It was first broadcast on Japanese TV in 1975. The series lasted for 46 episodes. Steel Jeeg also ran as a manga in several children's publications. A sequel series called ''Kotetsushin Jeeg'' (which appears to take place 50 years after the original show) aired on the satellite network WOWOW, beginning April 5, 2007. ==Story== Hiroshi Shiba is a car racer who is mortally wounded in a laboratory accident, but restored to life by his father, Professor Shiba, a talented scientist and archaeologist, who is incidentally investigating the relics of the ancient Jamatai Kingdom. During his research, Shiba discovers a tiny bronze bell with tremendous powers. Many years later, prof. Shiba is murdered by the henchmen of Queen Himika, the ruler of Jamatai, who intends on seizing the ancient bell and its power. Hiroshi learns about his legacy soon after his father's death. He was turned by his father into a cyborg, and made capable of transforming into the head of a giant robot, Steel Jeeg. Prof. Shiba also hid the bronze bell in his son's chest. He did all this with the purpose of preventing the Jamatai invasion of modern Japan. In some battles, Jeeg is also aided by a robot horse known as Panzeroid. The minions of Queen Himika have huge haniwa phantoms buried thousands of years under Japan's soil, and only Jeeg can destroy them and save the world. Therefore, Hiroshi is forced to lead a double life as well as a career as a racer, and, after his father's death, he also has to take care of his family. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steel Jeeg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
