Originally held as a special exhibition at the Osamu Tezuka Manga Museum in Takurazuka ( Hyogo prefecture ), the CAPCOM vs. Tezuka Osamu CHARACTERS exhibition was held again at the the Parco shopping mall in Ikebukuro, Tokyo from October 1st to the 18th, 2021. This is the official art book/catalogue for the exhibition.

The book features characters from Tezuka’s famed manga works like Astroboy, Black Jack, Phoenix ( Bird Of Fire ) and Dororo, pitting them against many popular characters from Capcom properties, including Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and more.

Selecting characters with similar attributes and/or backgrounds for comparison and contrast, this book allows the reader a renewed and fresh look at both Capcom and Tezuka’s creations, with fantastic illustrations from some of the top Japanese artists like Shinkiro, Akiman and Bengus, who also drew the title art for the exhibition.

With the ongoing pandemic making travel to Japan nigh impossible for most of us, catalogue books as such are the next best thing for us to still enjoy some aspect of these fantastic exhibitions. Fans of Capcom’s many impressionable characters and Tezuka’s manga creations should definitely check this book out.
