Many famous figures who are well-liked in America/Europe are also popular in Japan. Historical manga is also very popular with kids here. I'm not sure if it is the same as the manga you mentioned, but a series published by Shueisha is extremely popular with kids here. Most of the comics were made in the 1980's, but they are still widely read. Yesterday I saw elementary school reading their biographical comic book about Florence Nightengale. The elementary school had posted a big chart showing what kinds of books the kids like to read, and "rippa na hito" (great person) books were tied with fiction as the most popular for grades 3, 4 and 5.

They love them stag and rhino beetles. There’s a card game, Mushiking - The King of the Beetles that kids play. They even keep them as pets. And possibly, beetles may even be sold in vending machines.
