Osamu Tezuka
Dr. Osamu Tezuka (
手塚治虫
) was a Japanese manga artist, animator, producer and medical doctor, although he never practiced medicine. Born in Osaka Prefecture, he is best known as the creator of Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion. He is often credited as the "Father of Anime", and is often considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during his formative years. His prolific output, pioneering techniques, and innovative redefinitions of genres earned him such titles as "the father of manga" and "the God of Manga."

“Manga is virtual. Manga is sentiment. Manga is resistance. Manga is bizarre. Manga is pathos. Manga is destruction. Manga is arrogance. Manga is love. Manga is kitsch. Manga is sense of wonder. Manga is … there is no conclusion yet.”

“What is one man's life compared to the eternity of time and space? No more than a snowflake that glitters in the sun for a moment before melting into the flow of time.”

“Selagi peradaban berkembang, begitu pula nafsu. Api akan membesar terus dan menyebabkan berbagai malapetaka. Pada akhirnya seluruh dunia akan binasa.Jika manusia ingin selamat, api harus dipadamkan. Itu berarti meredam nafsu dan hidup wajar.”

“Apa pun pekerjaanmu..apa pun kastamu..kau tetap bisa mencapai pencerahan, tapi kau harus mempertimbangkan yang berikut ini..Apa yang sudah pernah kaulakukan? Apakah itu berguna bagimu?Apakah itu berguna bagi orang lain? Atau apakah itu berguna bagi orang banyak?Apakah itu berguna bagi negerimu? Apakah itu juga berguna bagi dunia?Apa itu sangat penting bagi semua makhluk hidup dan seluruh alam?Jika tidak, kau harus berhenti.”
