	Osamu Tezuka article by P. Duffield

		Tezuka, currently the country's most popular cartoonist, was contracted to direct one of their first feature length productions, Monkey King (seen in the U.S. as Alakazam the Great).

		That is Osamu Tezuka's greatest legacy: That so many people love his work, and are striving towards the elusive symbiosis this man shared with his artform and the artform he shared with the world.

		Osamu’s ideas often became industry standards.(Schilling 265) Tezuka was a perfectionist and he would often get only three or four hours of sleep a night because he was working on a project for Mushi, or independently producing his own works.

	Manga Makers: Osamu Tezuka
		Tezuka first started to work in the comics industry at the age of seventeen, drawing a comic strip for a newspaper; a year later he published his first full-length manga book, Shintakarajima, "New Treasure Island", based on a story by Shichima Sakai.
		A large part of Tezuka's success is likely due to the fact that he treated his audience with respect: instead of dumbing-down his comic book stories, he used them as a platform to educate.
		Tezuka likely was also the first manga creator to introduce philosophical and religious topics to popular comics.

		Tezuka's mother was an aficionado of the Takarazuka Revue, a sort of Japanese music hall tradition that mixed together song, dance and broad physical comedy.
		Influenced by Walt Disney cartoons, Tezuka's early manga were also notable for the extreme simplicity of their style, which pushed the inherent iconic tendency of cartooning to the limit.
		In Tezuka's manga, cartooning almost became a form of calligraphy, a visual short-hand language that melded elegance of form with a break-neck narrative momentum.

	The Osamu Tezuka Manga Museum: A Cultural Monument by Jackie Leger
		Born in 1928, Tezuka's childhood in the environs of Takarazuka brought him close to nature, a theme he often used in his stories.
		However, Tezuka should not be considered solely a manga artist as his experimental animation shows.
		In 1964, Tezuka met Disney at the New York World's Fair, and although the two creators have often been paralleled, Tezuka remained more low keyed and close to his role as a master cartoonist than his counterpart.

		The standard description of his comics is that they are "film-like." His dazzling use of unexpected angles, flowing action and meticulous drawing are on full display in the "Astro Boy" series, which are sadly only about half the size they should be to properly display their artful dynamics.
		Tezuka also highlights specific obsessions, later picked up and elaborated by subsequent Japanese artists: robots as mechanical humans, working out relationships with their flesh-and-blood creators; societies that worship nature in theory but, in practice, are addicted to technology; and the ever-present, hovering threat of all sorts of apocalypse.

	Mangamaniacs Review: Adolf by Osamu Tezuka (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Tezuka is famous for having innovated a number of graphic storytelling techniques that were commonplace by the time Adolf was published, but they're all here and done very, very well.
		Tezuka uses exaggeration to convey strong feelings, and the end result can be jarring even to long-time manga readers, who may be more used to the slick modern style of younger artists.
		However, Tezuka's techniques work: this is the cartoon in its purest form, iconic graphic storytelling used powerfully by a master of the craft.

	Osamu Tezuka @ Filmbug (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Osamu Tezuka (November 3, 1928 - February 9, 1989) was a Japanese manga artist and animator and the creator of Astro Boy.
		The distinctive large eyes style of Japanese animation was invented by Tezuka, who based it on cartoons of the time such as Betty Boop by Max Fleischer and Mickey Mouse by Walt Disney.
		He was formally trained as a physician, but he instead devoted his life to the production of an enormous body of manga work, the vast majority of which has never been translated from the original Japanese and is thus inaccessible to Western audiences.
