On November 13th to December 13th 2009, The Smithsonian's Freer art gallery had an exhibition and panel discussion of the work of the father of modern anime and manga, Osamu Tezuka. Mr. Tezuka is perhaps most known for this series, "Mighty Atom" or "Astro Boy."
Many well-respected authors, such as Frederik Schodt, Helen McCarthy, Natsu Onoda Power, and Ada Palmer were on hand for the November panel discussion of his work. Mr. Yoshihiro Shimizu, general manager of Tezuka Productions, answered questions during the December event.
A series of Questions were asked to the panelists via email and private interviews regarding their impressions of Mr. Tezuka and his work in the anime and manga industry. Fredrick Schodt, Helen McCarthy, Natsu Onoda Power, and Yoshihiro Shimzu participated in the interviews.
