On the day of November 3, two giants on their respective field were born. First, was not literally a giant but a regular man who would later change the way we view on comics (If you are used on reading Western comics, literally.) and on animation. The other giant is literally, a giant. These guys are Osamu Tezuka and Godzilla.
On November 3, 1928, the man that in the near future will be known as the God of Manga, Osamu Tezuka was born in Osaka Prefecture. He would later created comics that would forever changed the landscape of the genre that he was in. Titles such as Astro Boy, Black Jack and Kimba the White Lion revolutionized anime to its face right now.
On that same day, 26 years later, a monster who later made quite an impact on movies and on pop culture was born. His name was Godzilla. This guy changed the view on Japanese film making eversince with its techniques used during that time to create quite a believable looking monster film. Two years later, it was released in the US as Godzilla, King of the Monsters! even with the edits, it introduced this monster to the foreign crowd.
A remake of the classic Godzilla film is on the works right now. Hope the remake will live on the spirit of the original Godzilla.

Both were giants in their own respective field and from all of us here, Happy Birthday!
