Do you guys know an amazing fact that Sir ‘Walt Disney ‘ was not only the one who bought revolution in animation industry in the 19th century ………….But also in ‘Japan there was also a famous cartoonist ,animator, film producer, activist and even a medical doctor who never practiced medicine….

Nowadays Japanese anime is more famous than cartoons…..
I know that most of us watch Japanese anime for longer duration's than any other cartoons........

But I don’t know why he didn't get any fame for his work as compared to ‘Walt Disney’……

Osamu Tezuka,
             
                         

         A Well-known Animator, best known as the creator of ‘Astro boy series’, ‘Kimba the White Lion’ and ‘Black jack’….
His prolific output, pioneering techniques, and innovative redefinition of genres earned him such titles as "the father of manga", "the god of comics", and "Kamisama of manga" and many other.......








      Additionally, he is often    credited as the "Godfather    of Anime" and is even considered the Japanese equivalent to ‘Walt Disney’, who served as a major inspiration during Tezuka’s formative years........


It is often said (and reasonably so) that had it not been for Osamu Tezuka Japanese Manga and Anime would not be what they are today...........


Tezuka started to draw comics around his second year of elementary school. Around his fifth year he found a 'bug' named "Osamushi". It so resembled his name that he adopted osamushi as his pen name....... 

He came to the realization that he could use manga as a means of helping to convince people to care for the world. After World War II, he created his first piece of work (at age 17), Diary of Ma-chan and Shin Takarajima (New Treasure Island), which began the golden age of manga, a craze comparable to American comic books at the time..........


         As an indication of his productivity, the comprises some 400 volumes, over 80,000 pages; even so, it is not comprehensive. His complete oeuvre includes over 700 volumes with more than 150,000 pages of manga in his lifetime ,touching on every genre and style...........

        
          He wrote for every age group from young children to mature     audiences,and single-handedly created the majority of genres till       known ..........

          What i want to tell you all is Like Walt Disney there are many other great minds whom still we don't know or are not popular enough till today............
