Tezuka Osamu
手塚治虫
- ART EXHIBITION
Osamu Tezuka was born on November 3, 1928, in Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture, the oldest of three siblings. At the age of five, he moved to Hyogo Obama Village, Kawabe County (which became Takarazuka City in 1954). He then remained in Takarazuka until he moved to Tokyo.
He grew up in an open-minded family, was familiar with manga and animation, and had a witty and imaginative mind.
He also loved insects and was reminiscent of Fabre. His interest in insects can be seen in the fact that he chose the character "insect" for his pen name.
His war experience made him deeply aware of the preciousness of life, and he later became a doctor of medicine, but in the end he chose the career he most desired: manga artist and animator.
In other words, he became a cartoonist and animator. The role that Tezuka Osamu's manga and animation played in the post-World War II Japanese manga and animation industry and in the spiritual formation of young people is immeasurable.
