Born in 1932 , Yoshida grew up in the hardship of war-torn Japan . A self-taught artist, his first job was as working for local newspapers in Kyoto . After finding success as a Manga artist in Tokyo , including winning the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1972 for '' Minashigo Hutch '', in 1962 he founded Tatsunoko with his two younger brothers, Kenji and Toyoharu (a.k.a. Ippei Kuri). The studio's name has a double Japanese meaning of "Tatsu's child" and "sea dragon" which was the inspiration for its Seahorse logo. Understanding the future of Television , Yoshida made the jump from print to the screen and found modest success with the anime racing series ''Mach Go Go Go''. Once adapted to the English Language market, it would achieve Blockbuster status it achieved as '' Speed Racer '' around the world. Yoshida's magical talent for storytelling again found success with the action series '' Gatchaman '' (also known as '' Battle Of The Planets '') and '' Casshan '' (now remade as the live-action film '' Casshern ''). Though Tatsuo Yoshida's brilliant career was cut short by his untimely death from Liver Cancer in 1977 , Tatsunoko Productions has continued to partner with top creators to create additional hit series such as '' Macross '' ('' Robotech ''), '' Mospeada '', '' Generator Gawl '', '' Time Bokan '', and '' Karas ''.
