He had gone through medical school, but, he never practiced as he became an artist instead. So in BlackJack, he KNEW what he was writing about! And Tezuka appeared as himself as a doctor many times in the manga and anime.
In fact, he did practice during the war. It was his way to participate in a war without having to take lives.[/QUOTE]
Which war? Tezuka was still in middle school during WWII and didn't enter medical school till a few years AFTER WWII. He was still a teenager when the war ended. He was 18 or 19 when he was beat up by some drunk US marines during the American occupation of Japan after the war.[/QUOTE]
He lied on his age. But you're right though, he couldn't have used his license at the moment
