Osamu Tezuka's Tetsuwan Atom manga, known as Astro Boy internationally, began in 1952. It was adapted into one of the earliest anime TV series and ran from 1963-1966 on Fuji TV. Later adaptations followed in 1980-1981 on Nippon TV, and again in 2003-2004 on Fuji TV. The most recent animated adaptation prior to Astro Boy Reboot was a 2005 theatrical film co-produced by Tezuka Productions and Hong Kong's Imagi Animation Studios.
