Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy)
The museum in the town he grew up in, 25 minutes from Osaka.
Osamu Tezuka is the reason the rest of this site exists — the panel grammar, the eyes, the serialised story manga and the TV anime production model all trace back to him. He grew up in **Takarazuka** in Hyogo, and the city runs the **Tezuka Osamu Manga Museum** eight minutes on foot from Takarazuka station, covering Astro Boy, Black Jack, Phoenix and Princess Knight, with an animation workshop. It is 700 yen and 25 minutes from Osaka. If you have any interest in how manga became what it is, this is the single most useful stop in Japan.
