The Japanese are known for their love of vending machines, which can be found on nearly every street corner and sell everything from snacks to underwear.

Japan has more than 5 million vending machines, including ones that sell bananas, underwear, and even canned bread.

Astro Boy, created by Osamu Tezuka in 1963, is considered the first modern anime and helped to popularize the genre both in Japan and around the world.
