治虫 手塚 is Notable.
Tezuka Osamu was born in Toyonaka, Osaka Prefecture on 3 November 1928, the son of Tezuka Yutaka and Hattori Fumiko. He started his career as a mangaka, or a comic book artist, in 1946. During his career, he authored several manga series, including Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, Princess Knight, Phoenix, Black Jack, Dodoro and Buddha.
Due to his prolific output of his manga works and his animations (anime) during the 20th century, Osamu is known as "the Father of Manga", "the Godfather of Manga" and "the God of Manga". In addition, he is referred to as the Japanese equivalent of Walt Disney, an inspiration of his whom he met at the 1964 New York World's Fair.
His work, Astro Boy, is one of the most successful manga and anime franchises in the world and is credited with being instrumental in developing the anime and manga industry.[1]
Besides his career as a mangaka, Osamu was also active in the medical field, specialising in surgery. He obtained a doctorate from Nara Medical University in 1961. He died from stomach cancer in Tokyo on 9 February 1989. Although he was agnostic, he was interred in a cemetery at Sōzen-ji, a Buddhist temple in the Toshima ward of Tokyo.

Since this profile uses Japanese names, the name display should be in the East Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.) family name-given name order, in this case 手塚 治虫 (てづか おさむ, Tezuka Osamu). 手塚 (てづか, Tezuka) is the family name, while 治虫 (おさむ, Osamu) is the given name. Unfortunately, the ability to display names in the East Asian naming order is not supported yet due to WikiTree's limitations.
