The first TV anime series was Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atomu), which launched in Japan in 1963. Created by Osamu Tezuka, the "God of Manga," and his studio Tezuka Productions, the series was based on Tezuka's manga of the same name and became a huge hit, launching anime as a medium that combined "electric kamishibai" (paper street theater) with "manga in motion."
