His Early Life:
15. Growing Success:
In 1947, he released his first animated work- Shintakarajima (in English: New
Treasure Island)

tales and putting his own unique spin on them.
The success of The New Treasure Island brought him national fame.
16. He asked his mother whether he should pursue manga full-time or just “play it safe”
and be a doctor.
At the time, being a mangaka (manga author) was nothing like it is today. Authors
were rarely admired. His mother told him, “You should work doing the thing you like
most of all.”
Tezuka took these words to heart and decided to devote himself to manga.
However, he still graduated from med school, and he would later use his scientific
and medical knowledge in his manga.

17. His Legacy:
While Shintakarajima was popular, Tezuka became a superstar for his
manga/anime Testuwan Atomu, also known as Astro Boy first published in
1952.
Astro Boy became one of the very first animes to be aired on TV in 1963.
There was a remake of the series in 2003 and in 2009 using the same classic art
style as the original manga and anime.

episodes all while continuing to conceive, write, and draw volumes of some 700
different manga titles.

Betty Boop and Bambi)
Sadly, Tezuka passed away in 1989 due to stomach cancer. His last words were
