Tezuka Osamu Name in hiragana: てずか　おさむ. Shortly after entering medical school Tezuka sold his first comic strip, a four-panel serial called //Diary of Ma-chan// to an Osaka children's newspaper. Though it appeared in limited circulation, the strip proved popular enough to generate publisher interest in the artist. In short order he sold the manga //The New Treasure Island//, the first in a long line of his adaptations from Western literature. //Treasure Island// made Tezuka nationally famous and proved to be the tipping point in his career. Even while completing medical school, he published manga at a furious clip, graduating to larger newspapers and reader numbers. From 1950 until his death, Tezuka worked non-stop. It seemed natural to him to transition his manga characters into the animation he so loved, and thus a genre was born. Even he could not have foreseen that his //Astro Boy// would take anime global and offer Tezuka international fame. Ever the workaholic, he produced nearly 500 anime episodes -- and this while continuing to conceive, write and draw volumes of some 700 different manga titles. Tezuka's enduring impact on Japanese popular culture - indeed, on //world// popular culture - is nearly impossible to overstate. He was truly an exceptionally influential artist.

Best Known for Today:

 * Introducing the "big eyed" characters that are omnipresent in anime and manga (his influences: //Bambi// and //Betty Boop//).
 * Incorporating cinematic action into manga, which had been a static art form prior to Tezuka's handling.
 * Popularizing manga in Post-war Japan.
 * Creating anime. (Two short words that now represent a multi-billion dollar global industry. Yearly.)
 * Influencing new generations of manga-ka and animators.
 * Making //becoming// a manga-ka or animator as lofty a goal as, say, becoming a physician. Perhaps even more lofty as goals and, thanks to Tezuka, highly respected and financially rewarding ones.

Important:

 * //Jungle Taitei (Jungle Emperor)//, 1950-54. Later released as the animated series //Kimba the White Lion// in the U.S.
 * //Tetsuwan ATOM (Astro Boy)//, 1952-68
 * //Ribon no Kishi (Princess Knight)//, 1953-56
 * //Hi no Tori (The Phoenix)//, 1956-89. Tezuka's personal favorite and the series he worked on continuously from its inception until his death.
 * //Black Jack//, 1973-83
 * //Buddha//, 1974-84
 * //The Stories of Three Adolfs//, 1983-85

Tezuka had many diffetrent names; God, Father, Godfather, Grandfather, Emperor and/or King of both manga and anime. He gave this amazing drawing skill the community and showed them how to make Manga and anime.
