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.

普通の男子生徒 and 巨大人型戦闘ロボット, respectively.

多田野学雄 for the boy's name. I don't do giant anthropomorphic robots.

Punariffic!

Reminds me of 天堂独太 (game set in a hospital, no points for guessing the company responsible for creating it)

OP: that is read "Tadano Gakuo" with "Tadano" being the family name. If you reverse it to Western name order and make it "Gakuo Tadano" it's going to lose much of the "just an average school boy" pun built into the name. But anybody who doesn't understand Japanese isn't going to get it anyway, so maybe it doesn't matter.
