……………….

now who are these
Osamu Tezuka, Akimoto Osamu and  Matsuda Naoko?!

Osamu Tezuka
he produced over 150,000 pages of manga in the course of his career.
just to name few – Black Jack, Astro Boy, 1001 Arabian Nights, Sapphire, Jungle Emperor, Dororo, I am Son Goku, Pluto etc.

If you read Monsters or 20th Century Boys, you’ll find Pluto.. because the English version is released by the same company, Viz Media.

there was a controversy about who-copy-who when Walt Disney released Lion King. whatever it is.. the original Jungle Emperor already published in shonen manga since 1950.

The late of Osamu Tezuka is considered a legend.. a manga artist, animator, producer and medical doctor. He is still being called as “Father of Anime” or “Japanese Walt Disney” next to Miyazaki Hao from Ghibli. Osamu died in 1989 because of cancer.

Akimoto Osamu
i might say he is well-known because of this “Kochikame” manga – the character of Ryotsu Kankichi  which has been continuously published in Weekly Shonen Jump since 1976.

It is still running over 1400 chapters, the longest-continuous-running manga series in history, and as of volume 158 the series has sold over 135 million copies.

Matsuda Naoko
She wrote for shoujo manga series in 2007. Oscar’s Order ~ From Shoujo Manga With Love.

Matsuda Naoko was using Ryoko Ikeda’s Rose of Versailles (Lady Oscar) manga series as the inspiration.Hearing the voice of Lady Oscar, Katsuko [the lead character] is inspired to fight on behalf of the company’s employees.
