Amid this western occupation, the troops presented American comics such as Mickey Mouse, and in this way inspiring Japanese craftsmen to create their own style (Garza, Thomas and Elaine 175). Osamu Tezuka went ahead to turn into the first Japanese TV arrangement to typify the stylish that got to be referred to worldwide as anime. The arrangement was first telecast in Japan in 1963. Anime, alludes to activity beginning in Japan, amid the 1960s, Astro Boy (Osamu Tezuka’s production) turned into the first anime to show outside Japan.
