Did you know? Shunsaku Ban (AKA Higeoyaji) is one of Osamu Tezuka’s first characters he ever created, if not the first Star system member. Shunsaku went on to be a very important character in many of Tezuka’s works, being one of, if not his favorite character to reuse. This is one of the earliest Tezuka drawings that’s ever been cataloged, a drawing of Shunsaku made in 1943, when Tezuka was only 14 years old. This drawing was rediscovered and printed in the book “Osamu Tezuka production notes and early works: collection 2″, which was published in 2012.
