Makoto Tezuka (手塚眞, Tezuka Makoto, born 11 August 1961), also known as Macoto Tezka, is a Japanese film and anime director, born in Tokyo. He fashions himself as a visualist and is involved in the creation of moving images beyond film and animation. He partially owns Tezuka Productions and helped in releasing the posthumous works of his father, Osamu Tezuka. He also runs his own company, Neontetra. He is a representative of board of directors for Tezuka Osamu Cultural Foundation, a producer and an honoured director of Memorial Hall for Tezuka Osamu, a city ambassador to the city of Takarazuka in Hyogo prefecture, a member of the examination board for the Proficiency in Intellectual Property Management, and a board member of Japan Image Council. He teaches filmmaking at Tokyo University of Technology and Image Forum in Tokyo. He is married to manga artist Reiko Okano. Tezuka is a descendant of Hattori Hanzō, a famous ninja and samurai who faithfully served Tokugawa Ieyasu during the Sengoku period in Japan. He supervised Naoki Urasawa's Pluto manga series, as it adopts a story arc of his father's own manga Astro Boy.
