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.

In Japan, there is a dish called natto, which is fermented soybeans that have a strong smell and slimy texture.

The Japanese love their Kit Kats, and there are over 300 different flavors available in Japan, including wasabi and soy sauce.
