// **YEAR 9 JAPANESE** // // **MANGA AND ANIME TOPIC** // // **TERM 2** //

**What do you know about Manga/Anime?** Manga and Anime are very big in Japan, for most children and teens. I know that anime means animations and manga is comic sketches of different characters. There are a number of different tv shows and comic books that we know of. Some chracters include Pokemon, Hello Kitty, Sailor Moon, Yu-gi-o just to name a few. Manga characters are slim, they talk fast, have coloured hair sometimes and are either really tall or really short.

**What do you want to find out?** I would like to know how much work goes into prodcuing an anime tv show. I would like to attempt to draw it, and name many different chracters. I would like to learn why Japanese kids love it so much, and what are some favourite characters and tv shows that children like. Where the idea of anime came from?

Tezuka is portrayed as the God of Manga. Tezuka was born on November 3, 1928 in Toyonaka, Japan. He was the eldest of 3 children, and was born into a family of doctors, lawyers and military men. His father was an engineer, but had drawn manga prior to hisn marriage. He kept a library full of manga and bought a movie projector that would help and introduce Osamu to 2 major animators: Walt Disney and Max Fleischer. His parents were strict but were also supportive and encouraging and supplied Osamu with sketching things when he showed and interest in drawing. He extended his knowledge with clases. When ghe was nine, Osamu used his drawing and writing skills to produce his first-multi-paged manga book. By aged 11 he was wearing his trademarked black-rimmed glasses, and began using his special pen named "Osamushi". After nearly losing both arms to infection as a teenager, though, he decided to also study medicine. Due to a severe shortage of doctors in occupied Japan, Tezuka, then 17, was admitted to the medical school of Osaka University in 1945. He was qualified to practice medicine by 1952, and successfully defended his doctoral thesis in 1961. 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. 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. From 1950 until his death, Tezuka worked non-stop. 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. He died on February 9, 1989, Tokyo, Japan; of stomach cancer. =====
