Regarding the Dec. 2 Kyodo article "Late 'manga' pioneer Tezuka still the king": I'm a Japanese student studying communications in the United States. I strongly believe that Osamu Tezuka's wonderful manga stories had a lot of influence in Japan. He established the manga culture in Japan, creating a new way to write manga after World War II.
Japanese manga has become an important artwork in the world. In the U.S., we can see a lot of Japanese comic characters, books and "cosplay." I feel proud when I see people enjoying Japanese manga. Tezuka helped us communicate with foreign people. When we enjoy talking about manga with foreign people, we should thank Osamu Tezuka.
