Osamu Tezuka fue un dibujante de historietas y animador japonés, al que en su país se le llama «el dios del manga» , debido a que gracias a su obra expandió y difundió masivamente la lectura y el consumo del manga como medio de entretenimiento popular, dando como consecuencia que las mangas, llegara a tener una influencia profunda en la sociedad japonesa de la post guerra. Su nueva manera de desarrollar y crear manga, basada en las técnicas de la cinematografía de la época y de genios de la animación como Walt Disney,[1] replanteó la tradicional realización de las historietas que apenas ocupaban unas viñetas rígidas y de pocos cuadros con cortas historias autoconclusivas para ser reemplazadas por los llamados story manga, o mangas de larga duración con una trama mucho más elaborada y compleja.

Así esta nueva técnica permitió que adaptará genialmente las grandes obras maestras de la literatura mundial a la historieta gráfica como hizo con Crimen y castigo, o se inspirara en ellas para crear sus propias aventuras como su primer gran éxito La nueva isla del tesoro .

Tal fue el impacto de sus creaciones y de sus obras que hasta el día de hoy la base de su estilo perdura en los nuevos autores japoneses y los personajes que él dio a luz con su pluma siguen viviendo en la cultura popular de Japón, donde se puede encontrar en las librerías la gran mayoría de sus obras. Además, sus mangas han sido traducidas a decenas de lenguas, entre ellas el español.[2] La ternura y el profundo y sincero humanismo que imprimió a sus personajes han dejado una huella indeleble, haciendo de él un autor universal capaz de traspasar culturas. Incluso los ojos desproporcionadamente grandes que son tan característicos de la animación y los mangas constituyen un legado de Tezuka.

Frases Osamu Tezuka

„En la naturaleza, personas, animales o serpientes, estamos todos en el mismo barco“

— Osamu Tezuka
Buddha, Vol. 1: Kapilavastu

„I feel there is sensuality... eroticism in the primary things that move, like animals and insects. Being able to inspire the movement to still images... gives me the joy of the creator that breathes life into things that do not have life. The movement must be sufficiently round and sweet... so express its eroticism. In creating cartoons I always think of an ideal, but... half the finish to doubt the rightness of what I'm doing. So I put all my expectations always work next. * * [... ] I often say jokingly that comics are my true wife and that the cartoons are my lover. The fact that I am fully dedicated to animation, my lover... is because it allows me to express in a sublime... the interesting metamorphosis of a changing body. For me, the greatest fun, no doubt, lies in the draw and give movement to change processes. Always look in my cartons this metamorphosis.“

„I first followed the comics of Tagawa Suihō and Yokoyama Ryūichi. But suddenly, once I became devoted to Disney, I set out to copy and master that stuffed-animal style, eventually ending up with how I now draw.“

— Osamu Tezuka

„Those American comics themselves were heavily influenced by Keaton’s comedies, Mack Sennett, those sorts of films from the golden age of comedy. The gagmen that appeared there, for example Roscoe Arbuckle or Ben Turpin, there were lots of comics that used their style, their faces just as is. Especially Chaplin with his bowed legs and over-sized shoes. Those sorts of features were used directly in comics. In that era, all American cartoonists imitated the stars of comedy. That is what I worked so hard at copying, and so that’s why my comics are bowlegged and big-shoed. At the level of content too I was deeply influenced by the strong social caricatures of Chaplin’s comedies, the tears mixed with the laughter. The biggest influence of all was the rhythm.“

— Osamu Tezuka

„The new readers have mentality, fashions, feelings completely different from those of previous readers. Should I draw comics following my first readers in their growth? Or should I stop doing the cartoonist?... More or less every three years a cartoonist for children is cornered. I, too, every three years, living a crisis. So I decide and I get back to work for my new readers as if they were the first.... This is why I am certain that the good work that will draw able to make happy readers of all time.“

„I conceived this story [ MW ] with the intention of presenting readers a picaresque drama that distort the traditional atmosphere of my stories leave them stunned.
I wish that all the ills of society - conformism, laziness, indolence, betrayal, violence, lust, rape - and especially the evils of politics will be represented in the form of an absolute depravity.
Now I feel a great regret. My style inadequate forces me to complete the work without being able...“

„The science fiction and manga readers had the same... Most fiction writers then had had some experience in the comic and some of it had even been absorbed completely... I can not understand why those who love science fiction also loves the manga and vice versa. There are two kinds characterized by a biting satire and at worst are called "extravagant".... Both are aimed toward the future, and therefore contain romantic adventures for young people.“

„The children face problems such as violence, abuse, suicide etc. that medicine can not heal. It will never help these children psychologically and be his support...? Even when they are in difficulty, in principle they do not speak with adults, or confide about their true intentions. However, expect some serious messages from adults. I will continue to send messages through manga. Children avoid them what force or what they want to impose anything. That is why I will continue to look for those things that [... ] inspire their hearts.“

„Comics are an international language, they can cross boundaries and generations. Comics are a bridge between all cultures“

— Osamu Tezuka
As quoted in Transnational Perspectives on Graphic Narratives https://books.google.com/books?isbn=1441185755 p. 5

„What I try to appeal through my works is simple. The opinion is just a simple message that follows: "Love all the creatures! Love everything that has life"! I have been trying to express this message in every one of my works. Though it has taken the different forms like "the presentation of nature," "the blessing of life," "the suspicion of too much science-oriented civilisation," anti-war and so on.“

As quoted in Japan-zone http://www.japan-zone.com/modern/tezuka_osamu.shtml

„Around 1945, daily life might have been hard, but the reputation of Disney was at its highest. The voices of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck had stabilized, Snow White and Bambi were huge hits and had received a number of international prizes. It really was like the brightness of a rising sun. And then Japanese children after the war had no choice but to face the flood of Disney comics that accompanied the brainwashing of “American democracy.” That was their merit as propaganda against the Japanese.“
