Tezuka Osamu

It goes without saying that this is the author himself. He appeared in quite sizeable roles from the early days and always seemed intent on stirring up a commotion. Whether this can be referred to as self-authored, self-starring Manga or as "My" Manga is difficult to say, but at any rate it represents a uniqueness that is virtually without precedent. "Vampire", in which the character portrayed President Tezuka, the man at the vortex of the disturbances at Mushi Production, is a representative creation.
