A Picture-Card Show
I was absorbed in one kind of play when I was about seven years old. It was paper play called ‘kamishibai’ in Japan. It’s a picture-card show in which a performer tells a story while showing a picture that corresponds to it. A performer impersonates the characters to say their lines and flips a picture to the next one when the scene changes.

Apparently the pictures in Sakura's kamishibai-style recap are meant to have been drawn by the characters. I especially love Junko's. Also Saki can't draw but will do graffiti on a map Saga instead. Tae's was drawn by the director's daughter, who was 3 at the time (image courtesy of Reddit)

There's even a fascinating kamishibai of the alleged exploits of the Japanese aviators. You can view the entire play's striking artwork here:

Clarification: The character that has entered public domain (either this year or next year, depending) is "Ogon Batto" from the kamishibai Japanese paper theatre shows in 1931. The design in the quoted post is from the 1967 Golden Bat anime, which won't be in public domain until I believe the 2060s.

For the fellow manga history nerds, we also get to see a bit of Mizuki’s journey to become a Mangaka.

While it’s not the main focus of the book, it does outline his journey from soldier, to fishmonger, to kamishibai creator and eventually Mangaka.

There’s also Tsuge and Ikegami cameos!

to celebrate the Golden Bat kamishibai becoming public domain - I decided to draw the Golden Bat himself

He is definitely the first comic book superhero, since Kamishibai was a type of illustrated street theater that was proto-manga, although Zorro (as a prose superhero) and Hugo Hercules(as a comic strip superhero) do both predate Golden Bat.

Kamishibai as a whole is a fascinating medium. Descended from the artistic traditions of Japanese Buddhist temples, series of illustrated plates would be mass produced for storytellers who would travel around on bikes performing on street corners for tips and snack sales.

Japanese creators Takeo Nagamatsu and Ichiro Suzuki's Ogon Batto, who appeared in kamishibai (stories for children told by wandering performers), pulps, film, and anime from 1930 to 1969. Ōgon Batto, or “Golden Bat,” is a warrior from Atlantis, c. 8,000 B.C.E., who was put into suspended animation

For some reason, I thought Golden Bat was already Public Domain, along with all kamishibai works.

At least he and Prince of Gamma are now for real public domain.

Just the original kamishibai version. Was kind of surprised that he wasn't yet as well.
