Осаму Тедзука

Acting as a versatile avatar, this legendary creator frequently weaves himself into his own manga through various narrative roles. Whether appearing as a meta-fictional force who rewrites plots to satisfy readers, a subtle background cameo, or a fully realized character like the helpful Dr. Tezuka in Black Jack, his presence is iconic. From interacting with characters in Nanairo Inko to serving as an ally in Vampire, he seamlessly blends reality with fiction.
