Less than two years later, around 1960, Toei Animation approached my master about adapting his manga &ldquo;Boku no Son Goku&rdquo; (published by Akita Shoten) into an animated film. And so, quite unexpectedly, I found myself dispatched to Toei Animation as Master Tezuka&rsquo;s representative, commuting to their studio near Oizumi-Gakuen Station.</p>
