I saw under the "Area(s)" heading of the side panel that "actor" is listed but there is no information pertaining to Osamu Tezuka having distinguished himself in this field within the body of the article. According to his IMDB page, he is not credited with having acted in anything. Thus, I ask, on the basis of what source is he being cited as an actor? Or for that matter, a pianist? I wouldn't know, but is he generally known for these things or are these just hobbies of his?-- 24.212.231.18 ( talk) 02:46, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
There seems to be some confusion about what the external links section is for. It's not for sources, but for resources. It's a see also section for presenting links to resources on the web (external to Wikipedia). Popular (i.e., notable) news sites on the subject certainly qualify to be included. See Wikipedia:External links#Links normally to be avoided for a list of the types of links not to be posted there, and Wikipedia:External links#What should be linked for some guidelines on what should be linked.

If there are List of Osamu Tezuka manga and List of Osamu Tezuka anime articles, can someone please tell me why this article needs a 5,900 word list of his works? Can't it just be narrowed down to, say, five to ten of his most notable? I understand that he wrote a lot of mangas/animes, but still... this is ridiculous.

allegedly racist depictions of African-Americans . OK, I have notice this is a common mistake coming from U.S. people, but according the source seems like the allegations of racist depictions involves black people in general, not just those from the United States.haha. just commenting. =) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.202.13.250 ( talk) 17:45, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
"the content of Tezuka's work has met modern criticism for its allegedly racist depictions of black and southeast asian people, notably people from Vietnam"
Which book contain this theme about Southeast asian people ? Please show me the sources. Otherwise I will edit it. I 've read a lot
of Tezuka 's work and never seen this theme before. Make sure it not just some prank jokes

"Tezuka also loved the environment, especially insects, and wished that all humans would take care of it. His animation production company was named Mushi (insect) Production."
"Tezuka headed the animation production studio Mushi Production ("Bug Production"), which pioneered TV animation in Japan. The name of the studio derives from one of the kanji (虫) used to write his name."
So where does the name of the studio really come from? Both reference pages are unavailable.

I was reading the biography section and the bit about Stanley Kubrick asking Tezuka to work on 2001: A Space Oddessey occured in January 2008, years after the dead of both.

Apparently he worked with Toei (but the only source I can find this on is on the Mushi Production article), did he do any important work like writing, directing, producing, character designing or was he just minor staff at that company?

Cyberbot II has detected links on Osamu Tezuka which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

Hello Hello. Could someone please add a photo to Osamu Tezuka's article? I'm unable to do it myself. I suggest this photo to be used: http://www.upnorthgeorgia.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Osamu-Tezuka.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agnos890 ( talk • contribs) 22:27, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
This Japan Tmes article claims that Tezuka was not a medical doctor, but rather earned a PhD leading to the confusion. It also directly calls out this article as wrong. Requires further looking into. Opencooper ( talk) 08:27, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
There seem(ed) to be a ton of grammatical errors in the "Biography" section of the article, particularly a ton of unpunctuated run-on sentences and improper verb tenses (i.e. use of "would" and "could" and present tense for things Tezuka did decades ago). I tried to fix most of the ones I saw, but I'm sure some remain. V2Blast ( talk) 08:15, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm just looking at "Tezuka's complete oeuvre includes over 700 volumes, with more than 150,000 pages." and I have found that number mentioned in a lot of places, but I don't think people understand what it really means. Osamu Tezuka only lived to be 60 years old, just assuming he dedicated his entire life to the making manga and he started at the age of 10 we get the following; 150,000 pages / (50 years of work * 365 days in a year (he can take leap year days off)) = 8.22 pages a day. Now I'm sure to some people that seems acceptable but it isn't really possible. Modern artists with full staffs of assistants and writers often struggle to put out 20 pages a week (which is 20 * 52 = 1040 pages a year) so they would have to live over a hundred years to match Osamu Tezuka's output (Osamu Tezuka obviously had a lot of assistants, like Toshio Ban, but the number is still really big).
Looking at Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo, it ran for 40 years and had 1,960 chapters at roughly 20 pages each chapter meaning (1,960 * 20 = 39,200 pages) yet somehow Osamu Tezuka produced more than 3x as many pages in ~1.25x the amount of time if you say he started at age 10.
So I looked for a complete list of his works and found http://tezukainenglish.com/wp/?page_id=443 which includes the statement "the Osamu Tezuka Complete Manga Works (tezuka osamu manga zenshū) edition by Kodansha has become the de facto standard in cataloging roughly 80,000 of the estimated 150,000 pages of manga produced by Tezuka during his lifetime." and by a quick counting of the total number of pages for each set it does ad up to roughly 80,000 pages. I just can't seem to find where the additional 70,000 pages come from. There are a few missing works from the set and of course the man drew works that were never published, used for film/tv production, gifts, etc. but that is a lot to just handwave. Seriously it's more than Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo and One Piece combined being casually dismissed as lost to the aether.
I'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything, the output is insanely high and the quality is largely maintained, but >8 pages a day for 50 years is borderline impossible. It is fair to say he drew well over 80,000 pages but I can't find an actual reason to casually double the number.
The 150,000 number is likely possible if you include all the work he is listed as an author on; as spinoffs and alike from his works are very common and continue to cite him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coystags ( talk • contribs) 02:28, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

@ Shndoe, could you explain what "citation linking issue" you were fixing with this edit? You have re-introduced an sfn multiple-target error which my edit (that you undid) fixed. The citation was correctly linked before your edit – the footnote links to the source that is cited. This is a standard way of doing references when there are multiple citations to the same source – see here for more details. Thanks, Wham2001 ( talk) 17:45, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
