In Japan, various types of manga are created ranging from fun entertainment to serious stories that not only children but also adults can enjoy. The Japanese manga in the postwar period has been greatly influenced by Tezuka Osamu (1928-1989).

The story manga style and the movie-like framework which he introduced were epoch-making and nothing like the previous manga in Japan; these have had a great impact on Japanese culture. Japanese manga such as Doraemon, Captain Tsubasa, Hanayori Dango, One Piece and Urusei Yatsura are read by many fans all over the world.
