Osaka is one of the four cover celebrities gracing Vogue magazine's yet-to-be-released January issue. She is being celebrated not just for her achievements as an athlete but also for her passionate political activism.

During the Black Lives Matter Movement in June, she was one of the prominent voices who used their popularity to fight against social injustice. She marched, used social media to speak up, and even boycotted a tennis game.

The athlete admitted that she often travels, so she was mostly not aware of the things that went on in the United States. However, the pandemic forced her to pay attention, and she has never stopped.

Osaka has made such a global impact that she recently inspired a new Manga character who will debut in the famed Nakayoshi magazine at the end of the month.

Bi-racial characters are a rarity in Manga, so this was a major leap forward in cultural awareness and representation.

The tennis star shares both Haitian and Japanese roots as her father, Leonard Francois, hails from the former while her mother, Tamaki Osaka, hails from the latter.

She, however, grew up in the United States and identifies as Black and Asian. Along with her sister Mari, she was trained in tennis by Francois.

Osaka went on to become the world's No.1 ranked player in women's tennis after her Grand Slam wins at the 2018 US Open and the 2019 Australian Open. Undoubtedly, all the passion and hard work paid off in the end.
