Tezuka Osamu Biography

This filmography is based on the information of the booklet from the CD Tezuka Osamu no Sekai. The image presented in the title was scanned from the same album, using an MSX computer, and then edited and coloured. It shows "Hinotori" (upper left side), "Kimba" from "Jungle Taitei" (upper right side), "Sapphire" from "Ribbon no Kishi" (lower left side) and a stylized self-portrait of Tezuka (lower right side).

There are an official Page about Tezuka: http://www.tezuka.co.jp. It's really worth to be checked.
