He originally intended to become a doctor and earned his degree before turning to what was then a medium for children. His many early masterpieces include the series known in the U.S. as \u003ci\u003eAstro Boy\u003c\/i\u003e. With his sweeping vision, deftly intertwined plots, feel for the workings of power, and indefatigable commitment to human dignity, Tezuka elevated manga to an art form. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe later Tezuka, when he authored \u003ci\u003eBuddha\u003c\/i\u003e, often had in mind the mature readership that manga gained in the sixties and that had only grown ever since. The Kurosawa of Japanese pop culture, Osamu Tezuka is a twentieth century classic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTezuka is a multiple award-winner on both sides of the Pacific. His \u003ci\u003eMessage to Adolf\u003c\/i\u003e won the Kodansha Manga Award in 1986.
