Normal (typical) Japanese School Boy (student) - 05-08-2014, 07:58 PM

There is a certain archetype in anime/manga. It's "Normal (typical) Japanese School Boy". I was googling it hard for 2 days but was unsuccessful in effort to find how it is said in japanese. Is it possible to compose a fictional japanese name meaning Normal Japanese School Boy or something like that? As well I'd like to know what is "Giant Anthropomorphic Battle Robots" called in japanese.

To the word, "普通の男子学生達:FUTSU NO DANSHI GAKUSEI TACHI" corresponds to "normal school boys". As Japanese people do not care about plural form usually, last "達:TACHI" will be often omitted.

"Giant Anthropomorphic Battle Robots" would be "巨大戦闘ロボット:KYODDAI SENTOU ROBOTTO". "Anthropomorphic" is omitted because Japanese imagine human shape when robot is referred.
