First manga magazine
Japan's first manga magazine, Tokyo Puck, was founded in 1905 by Rakuten Kitazawa, Japan's first professional cartoonist. Aimed at adults, it was popular and influential, featuring mainly political and then satirical cartoons. The magazine was published in Tokyo from 1905–15, 1919–23, 1928–41, and 1948.
