At Odaiba near the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo, stands a “life size” rendition of a Gundam robot as a representative member of the influential “Mobile Suit Gundam” television series. The 18-meter-high armored figure,  sits as the centerpiece of the Green Tokyo Gundam Project, an event aimed at raising funds for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s push for a more environmentally friendly future.

I am not a huge fan of Gundam, but this giant size robot definitely drives the fans of Gundam go crazy, be it adult or children. If Gundam is able to encourage the citizen to have better care of the environment, why not =)

The theme of “Mobile Suit Gundam” contains a passion for the environment that matches with Tokyo’s plan to expand the city’s green areas

says Yasuo Miyakawa, managing director of the Gundam Character Works department at Sunrise Animation, the program’s creator.
