You know, the anime "look" of big round eyes and large heads was inspired from Disney animations that Japan experienced during their occupation by the USA.

Same with the peace sign, American soldiers stationed there used to show the sign to people they passed by (largely children) and it caught on. Now it's a common symbol. Even Japanese natives who've never seen an American in their life know it now.

You're thinking of Dresden and Tokyo

Firebombing of Dresden killed many more people than both bombs combined.

The firebombings and conventional bombing sorties against Japan killed many more than the atom bomb ever did, although the outset of the Cold War has inflated their lethality.

yup

Firebombing of Dresden killed many more people than both bombs combined.

If you mean "Firebombing of Dresden killed at most 1/5 of the people killed in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined" then you're correct.
