Manga / AnimeWhen I was very young, my favorite cartoon series was the Japanese anime Kimba the White Lion. I expect this accounts for my undying affection for all things manga and anime as an adult. Kimba
was the American dubbed version of Osamu Tezuka's Jungle Emperor (created 1965-66).
Tezuka also created a number of other well-known manga and anime, such as Astroboy
(aka Tetsuwan Atom, created 1963). I've compiled a short and incomplete
profile of Osamu Tezuka, "the father of manga".
