Appearance

His regular outfit is that of his old school uniform consisting of a white shirt with a black tie and black pants held by a brown leather belt. He also wears a vest gifted to him by Rembrandt van Rijn a few years ago which he does not wear fully, wearing it more akin to a cape, on his vest is a pin with an atom logo gifted to him by his friend.

Tezuka also has bad eyesight which is why he keeps his glasses on his shirt at all times.

Personality
Tezuka is known as a rather carefree and childish person, taking his job as both a mangaka and a private investigator in a light manner. His pupil, Shotaro Ishinomori, calls Tezuka someone who is both lazy and reliable at the same time. Tezuka despite his laziness is actually quite intelligent, though he would often downplay his intelligence in order to take others by surprise.

Despite his childish nature, Tezuka also has a more serious side of his personality. Tezuka can seem rather blunt when expressing his true emotions to others, he dislikes it when someone lies to him and won't hesitate to talk them down. Because of this, he is very honest with his friends, saying that he's unable to lie at all to them.

Ability
Main Article: Astro Boy Astro Boy is Tezuka's Talent. Astro Boy lets Tezuka control the properties of metal using his hands or see the properties of metallic objects using a special stylus.

His ability varies between using a stylus and using his own hand. With his stylus he is able to exactly copy the properties of one metal to another metallic object. Without his stylus, Tezuka can still modify the properties of the metal but not to an exact degree like using his stylus.

Background
Tezuka originally worked under Hokusai Katsushika's detective agency when he was 18. After the two of them parted ways, he eventually went on to reconnect with an old friend, the two of them then created the Mangaka Guild.

But, under the guise of the Guild, he still continues his work as a detective along with a few other members of the Guild. Tezuka is also long time friends with Rembrandt van Rijn meeting when Rembrandt was learning to use his Talent with Hokusai, the two of them quickly formed a close bond thanks to both of their friendly natures.

His room at the Guildhouse is filled with classic super robot metal figures and cassettes and vinyl of old albums that he enjoys. His most prized possession is an eighth-generation Toyota Crown which he nicknamed "Black Jack".
