The greatest Anime Pioneer in Japan you never heard of: Osamu Tezuka Story

Join Rachel Costello, from UC San Diego’s Innovating for National Security Academic Program, at this special opportunity. A lifelong anime aficionado, her passion led her to spearhead the U.S. Navy’s “Sea Strike 2041” comic project as executive producer.

Osamu Tezuka was a Japanese manga artist, cartoonist and animator. Born in Osaka Prefecture, his prolific output, pioneering techniques and innovative redefinitions of genres earned him such titles as “the Father of Manga”, “the Godfather of Manga” and “the God of Manga”.
