Notable examples include ''[[Doraemon]]'', ''[[Pokémon (anime)\|Pokémon]]'' and ''[[Hello Kitty]]''~~. ==History== ~~Kodomo~~Manga ~~manga~~aimed at children started in the late 19th century with the production of short manga, approximately 15 pages long, printed in magazines. These short manga were created as a part of the [[Meiji period\|Meiji]] era's attempt to encourage literacy ~~amongst~~among Japanese youth. A major milestone in the popularity of anime was the creation of ''[[Astro Boy]]'', by [[Osamu Tezuka]], who is often considered the father of anime. <ref>{{cite web\|last1=Zagzoug\|first1=Marwah\|title=The History of Anime & Manga\|url=http://novaonline.nvcc.edu/eli/evans/his135/events/anime62/anime62.html\|website=nova online\|publisher=C.T.

The first category consists of anime and manga adaptations of Western stories, such as ''[[World Masterpiece Theater]]''. Most of them are ~~[[Television\|~~TV]] series. Despite being popular, they are less representative of traditional Japanese anime. Instead, they are modeled after classical American or Soviet cartoons.
