It is one of my dreams and I wouldn't say it's impossible at least but I know a few people aiming at that goal and already published manga like series.

I think there already are foreigner mangakas or light novel authors. If you want to become a mangaka in a more traditional sense then it's difficult. You need to find an already established publishing house in Japan and they get hundreds of samples everyday so it's not easy to get selected. Even if you do get selected you must maintain a high reader score for your manga to continue. And you must only write in Japanese.
But today you can also publish your work on internet in any language and gain recognition for it. They are called webtoons i think.
