I don't think Tezucomi should belong to the Manga/ namespace since it is a tribute manga magazine published by Micro Magazine.

** Tezuka is very fond of feline and cute cat characters which is commonplace in some of his manga and animated works. The most evident is Bagi, Chao/Katy the cat and Piro/Marusu the Sphinx cub from ''Unico'', and Kimba and his love interest Kitty/Lyra.
** He's very fond of [[Creator/TakarazukaRevue The Takarazuka Revue]] which inspired Sapphire from ''Princess Knight'' and Piro the Sphinx cub in ''Unico''.
** He's a big fan of the Japanese music group ''Pink Lady'' as seen in the Unico series. In "The Cat on the Broomstick" chapter, Chao references one of their songs to Unico around bedtime. Pink Lady gets another shout out in "The Tale of the Fangs of Athens" where Piro requests Unico to perform a Pink Lady song to prevent him from getting eaten.

Some of these recurring characters were made specifically ''for'' the star system, such as Rock, while others were already established characters. Black Jack, unsurprisingly, is the most expensive actor of all, and always plays [[invoked]]AsHimself.

* AllLovingHero: Astro Boy and especially Unico are two of Tezuka's most idealistic and hopeful works. Both protagonists of their respective mangas are very compassionate and open to helping out others, which even extends to a few villains. Both characters aren't fond of using violence towards others and prefer taking a non-violent approach (such as [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath talking them down]]), Unico's [[SympathyForTheDevil unlimited compassion and empathy]] are put to the test in ''Anime/UnicoInTheIslandOfMagic'' where he tries his hardest to avoid attacking Kuruku after [[TragicAbandonedToy learning his backstory.]]

* MultipleDemographicAppeal: While he would occasionally make manga and animated content for older audiences (such as ''Dororo'', ''Black Jack'', ''A Thousand & One Nights'', ''Bagi, the Monster of Mighty Nature'', and ''Cleopatra: Queen Of Sex''). He's well-known for creating unique stories for children that can be enjoyed by both children and adults (such as ''Astro Boy'', ''Kimba the White Lion'', and ''Unico'') while not shying away from darker subject matter and complex situations. A majority of Tezuka's works are aimed at general audiences which mainly focuses on idealistic aspects (such as love, caring for others, forgiveness, and hope) with the darker and sadder elements popping up depending on the story. His ability to create works that could either be geared towards children, adults, and sometimes both is a major factor for why he's very respected in Japan and the anime and manga community.

** Tezuka admits in the introductions on one of his early ''Manga/AstroBoy'' stories (which can be found in the ''Astro Boy Omnibus'') that his stories tended to be of uneven quality, and that he isn't proud of some of them.
** According to a commentary on one of the '60s ''Anime/AstroBoy'' DVD boxsets, Osamu Tezuka hated one particular episode, "Midoro Swamp" aka "The Beast from 20 Fathoms". He farmed out the episode to a group of young anime/manga students, and the results dissatisfied him so much, that he personally destroyed every possible copy he could find. Unfortunately for him, a copy of that episode had already been shipped to the U.S. and dubbed (and would later resurface as a "Lost Episode" of the series on VHS), and the Japanese soundtrack (but not the footage) still exists and was included as an extra in the episodes release on the Astro Boy DVD sets.
** Also, there are a handful of stories he wrote that he permanently pulled from circulation (i.e. not available, even in compilation form) due to said stories not being up to his usual standards.
