Today marks what would of been Osamu Tezuka’s 83rd birthday. Taken from us at the ripe age of 60, Tezuka will forever be remembered for his memorable characters, his almost-stubborn work ethics, and the impact he made on Japanese anime and manga after World War II. Whilst most of his novels are still not available in english in the western world, many people have been familiar with characters such as Astro Boy, Princess Knight, and Kimba the White Lion since the early 60s. Although he’s gone in body, his memory and spirit will live on with fans and artists for many, many more years.
Osamu Tezuka, November 3, 1928 – February 9, 1989
R.I.P.
And to celebrate the special occasion, I shall re-watch the DVD documentary that came with the excellent God of Manga hardcover biography as well as enjoy some more tales from Black Jack vol. 6 later tonight (right before beddy-bye time), all while my Tezuka 80th birthday anniversary Astro G-Shock looks on from my night table. The utmost gratitude and endless appreciation for everything you have graciously given to the world, Tezuka-san. Happy (in what would be the master’s) 83rd Birthday!
