This section includes articles and interviews related to Osamu Tezuka’s Unico and those who have worked on the series. Since many of these were in Japanese, I’ve taken the time to translate and compile everything in one place. Most of these are from out of print material that I wanted to share for informational purposes. Everything is in alphabetical and chronological order.
※ Please note: These are fan translations. As I’m not fluent in Japanese, there may be some translation errors. If you’re the copyright holders for these articles and interviews and wish for them to be removed, please contact me!
