Before that, I want to tell you that I don't have my top 10 favorite mangakas, but I will mention all the top mangakas that I respect a lot!!

Here we go!

TEZUKA OSAMU


Also known as "God of Manga"
He is often considered the Japanese equivalent of Walt Disney, who was a major inspiration during Tezuka's formative years.
Nowadays, mangakas are awarded the TEZUKA award to honor the "godfather of manga".

- Buddha (1972-83 ): Tezuka's unique interpretation of the life of Gautama Buddha, founder of Buddhism.
- Kimba the white lion ( 1950-54 ): This is the first color animated series produced in Japan. Disney's The Lion King is said to be inspired by Kimba the White Lion
- Princess knight ( 1953-68 ): One of Tezuka's most famous works and considered by many to be a classic, Princess Knight has had a huge influence on major manga and anime.

SHIGERU MIZUKI
