| - Astro's parents primarily appear in Osamu Tezuka's manga, and the 1963 anime series. They live in a modern house like humans, and look after Astro, Uran, and Cobalt and Chiitan if applicable. In some stories, it is evident that they are younger than Astro in construction, and sometimes find that they have to learn from him. Astro's parents usually call each other, "dear" instead of names.

| - Astro's parents primarily appear in Osamu Tezuka's manga, and the 1963 anime series. They live in a modern house like humans, and look after Astro, Uran, and Cobalt and Chiitan if applicable. In some stories, it is evident that they are younger than Astro in construction, and sometimes find that they have to learn from him. Astro's parents usually call each other, "dear" instead of names. In one timeline of the manga, Astro's robot mother is based on Tobio Tenma's human mother, Hoshie. One version of this timeline has Dr. Tenma designing a robot to replace Hoshie, and another has Ochanomizu basing a robot off Hoshie to help Astro feel more comfortable in his new life. In the 1980 series, they are built by Ochanomizu as a gift for Astro, after he was freed from the robot circus. Their nonactivated robot bodies are stolen by Atlas to convince Astro to fight him. They are safely recovered afterwards, activated, and sent to live in a suburban house as a family. They have more modern designs, looking like a human couple in the late 1970s to early 1980s. Astro's parents were adapted into the American Astro Boy comics in 1987. They were based on their 1980 appearance, but initially appeared as human scientists who were involved with a love triangle. After they were killed by Cybersharks, Dr. Elefun reconstructs them as robots and introduces them as Astro's new caregivers. Their most recent appearance is in Little Astro Boy. They have new, updated designs, and were once again built by Ochanomizu to live in a house with Astro.
