Astro Boy was a successful comic strip in Japan in the 1950’s and premiered as an animated Japanese TV program in 1963. In Japan, Astro Boy was called Tetsuwan Atom. The black and white series was created, animated and produced by Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989) through his own company named Mushi Productions. Tezuka, like his father, was a qualified doctor of medicine but was more interested in drawing. It was released in Japan between 1963 - 1966. After becoming a worldwide hit, Japanese cartoons began to flood the market with the release of other successful series' such as Gigantor, 8th man and Prince Planet. Astro Boy's large oval eyes became the standard for most other Japanese cartoons. 193 episodes were produced, but only 104 of them were dubbed and shown outside Japan.
