the manga-medical student link

Japanese medical student in the 1940's invents manga and anime as we know it today. Also came up with a tale about an orphaned lion cub who hangs out with a baboon - later (widely thought to have) inspired Disney to come up with The Lion King. The whole manga stuff turned out to be so successful for him, he graduated as a doctor but never practised - deciding to continue with manga.
Now that is random.
