Romano, A. (2016). Osamu Tezuka was the “Walt Disney of Japan.” His beautiful manga biography shows why. Vox. https://www.vox.com/2016/8/2/12244368/osamu-tezuka-story-explained

Vox provides a look at some of Tezuka's greatest achievements from an American perspective. This source describes Tezuka's influence outside of Japan and his relations to modern-day movies and tv shows. I used this source mainly to get interesting facts and ideas for the "Eminence" page.

Osamu Tezuka. (2021). In Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Osamu_Tezuka&oldid=1056987645

This Wikipedia article was surprisingly comprehensive and allowed me to find many of Tezuka's accomplishments and the key points in his life. Because Wikipedia is not necessarily always trustworthy (it can be edited by almost anyone), it's best use is as a starting point to gather basic information. I used this source to find many of Tezuka's accomplishments and the key points in his life.

John. (2013). Godfather of Anime, Osamu Tezuka. Tofugu. https://www.tofugu.com/japan/osamu-tezuka-history

I found the chronological order of events listed in this event to be helpful. The source has a lot of information about Tezuka's childhood and early life decisions, as well as information about his most popular animations. It also shows how Tezuka's legacy has lived on past his death. I used this source to get details for the "Timeline" page, particularly about his early life.

TheMotionDevotion. (2012). OSAMU TEZUKA - JAPAN's Godfather of ANIME -- a 1985 interview [Video]. YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uipZoRO4tYg

This interview provides information about Tezuka's motives and ideals from Tezuka himself. There is almost no other source that provides this sort of information. I used this source to get more subjective information about Tezuka's eminence and also how Tezuka thinks about himself.
