Japanese animation is called Anime. The word is the abbreviated pronunciation of "animation" in Japanese, where this term named all animation, but in other languages, the term is defined as animation from Japan or as a Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastic themes. For simplicity, many Westerners strictly view anime as an animation product from Japan. The first Japanese Animation (Anime) was Katsudō Shashin, an undated and private work by an unknown creator. Anime arose in the early 20th century, when Japanese filmmakers experimented with the animation techniques also pioneered in France, Germany, the United States and Russia. In 1917, the first professional and publicly displayed works began to appear. Animators such as Ōten Shimokawa and Seitarou Kitayama produced numerous works, with the oldest surviving film being Kouchi's Namakura Gatana, a two-minute clip of a samurai trying to test a new sword on his target only to suffer defeat.

The first anime television series was Otogi Manga Calendar, aired from 1961 to 1964. The 1970s saw a surge of growth in the popularity of Manga, Japanese comic books and graphic novels, many of which
