[edit] Reference to award

What about adding something about the award that carries his name ?
Lvr 16:57, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

You mean 手塚賞, an award given from a Japanese publisher or another?

Unfortunately Tezuka Award redirects to Osamu Tezuka Culture Award -- two separate awards. A-giau 03:49, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Death

I didn't see anything about his death. I would add it myself but I am not sure of the exact date, only that he died in February 1989. I also had rumors that Tezuka's death caused a stronger national mourning than Hirohito's who died shortly before, can someone confirm that? Fafner 07:54, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] his home town of Kyoto

What means the caption? Tezuka was born in Toyonaka, Osaka prefecture and grew up in Takarazuka. Kyoto is not his home town IIRC. KIZU 07:10, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

There is some sort of Tezuka Museum in Kyoto, anyway, including a library of his Manga...

[edit] Should this page be at "Osamu Tezuka"?

This page should be at "Osamu Tezuka" - his name is better known under that order. WhisperToMe 06:55, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] On his death

>I also had rumors that Tezuka's death caused a stronger national mourning than Hirohito's who >died shortly before, can someone confirm that?

For being a Japanese, I may be a right person to comment on this. I was a university student at that time, and to me and to many of my friends, his death was as shocking as Hirohito's. But, my parents did not seem to be shocked so much.

So we could say Osamu Tezuka was important only for your generation, your parents' generation probably didn't know him the same way, or maybe considered him unimportant? Or on the other hand, you parents' generation was more attached than your own generation to Hirohito, who had been emperor since a very long time? Fafner 12:49, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

He is well known to all the generations of Japanese. But, my parents' generation don't care for Manga itself. Hence, the death of 'God of Manga' was nothing for them, while Hirohito's was something.

[edit] What he died of

Didn't Tezuka Osamu die of stomach cancer? Everything I've read about him says that was what he died from, including the official site. Doinkies 03:43, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

There are no references for any of the facts cited in this article. There are a few external site links, but there need to be references for all of the facts. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 20:01, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

One of the special features in Metropolis mentions these facts, but I don't own it so I can't really cite precisely. --SeizureDog 23:56, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Use Manga! Manga! for the references... the page count, etc comes from there anyhow. So someone just needs to pull that reference and add it. --Hitsuji Kinno 09:31, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bander Book?

I can´t find anything here about this Anime about a redhaired prince lost in time and space, that I used to enjoy as a kid. Although I´m quite sure it is by Osamu Tezuka. 195.46.251.181 18:56, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I believe you're talking about Phoenix. If I am wrong, please search around in Google or something, and let us know when you find something in. Thanks. Dooly00000 (talk • contribs • count)

Jan. 2007 - Just googled this, it´s by Tezuka and it´s not Phoenix. 195.46.251.150 19:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A Picture of Him

A biographical article about such a prolific and influential talent deserves a picture of the man. That picture of the clock can be moved to another section where it would be more relevant. -UberMan5000 20:34, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A medical reference

Yasuzumi, G., Tanaka, H., & Tezuka, O. (1960). Spermatogenesis in animals as revealed by electron microscopy: VIII. Relation between the nutritive cells and the developing spermatids in a pond snail, Cipangopaludina malleata Reeve. The Journal of Cell Biology, 7, 499-503. (The Journal of Cell Biology) I talked about this paper in the article of Osamu Teduka in Japanese Wikipedia. As you may know, he has a Medicinae & Philosophiae Doctor and left many medical drawings. There is a drawing in p. 4 of this paper, possibly sketched by Tezuka. I've not read it carefully yet, so I'm not sure who sketched it. If we identify the drawer as Tezuka, this paper would be worth mentioning in this article. What do you think of it? 60.236.113.249 23:11, 9 January 2007 (UTC) (revised by 60.236.113.249 23:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Adolf

Osamu wrote and drew the Adolf series. This big of info should be added. I am not adding it because I know nothing about Osamu or his work other then he made this graphical novel. --Joel M. 01:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
