If Tezuka Osamu is the God of manga, then Ishinomori Shotaro can be considered the King. As a student of Tezuka, he made a name for himself by creating stories of tragic, sullen heroes who must struggle against great adversity to protect their home and loved ones. Only a year after Marvel Comics started the team of heroes we know as the Avengers, Ishinomori created Japan's first superhero team, Cyborg 009. Having written over 100,000 pages of manga in his lifetime, he is most famous for two series of heroes that continue to this day, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. Discover the legacy of one of Japan's most creative artists!
