    Scott I thought that sticker looked familiar! It was giving me fits for about 15 minutes till I suddenly realized where I saw it before. The same exact sticker is on the bottom foot of my Giant M1 T-28. Therefore I think it might have something to do with character reference rather than toy maker mark.

    I know, probably not helping you in your search BUT I could be wrong. Hope you find your answer!

    The sticker says "Hikari Production(s)". This seems to be the company licensing the character.

    An ... thanks for that guys :D

    One of the founders of Hikari productions was the artist Mitsuteru Yokoyama, He wrote and drew the 1956 'Tetsujin 28 Go' manga among other things. They still hold the T-28 rights.

    So unknown maker legitimate toy.

    I also had a look around and the same sticker is under the foot of a blowmolded Giant robo I have.

    Is there a little hole on the top? There appears to be another color of dark navy and the hole was for a keychain from one of the photos I found while trying to find the maker. it's suppose to be about 30 year old.

    Thanks Adam! Chimply there is a hole at the top ... and he is quite dark blue the photo makes him look a bit lighter.
