Osamu Tezuka was born on November 3rd, 1928, in Osaka. He grew up
in a liberal family exposed to manga and Walt Disney. As a boy he
also had a love for insects; as a grown-up he would incorporate the
ideogram for "insect" into his pen name. Having developed an
intense understanding of the preciousness of life from his wartime
experience, Tezuka Osamu aimed to become a physician and later
earned his license, but ultimately chose the profession he loved
best- manga artist and animated film writer.
In 2020, he was posthumously inducted into the Harvey Award Hall of
Fame.
