Tezuka Character Stats!
Posted: Wed Aug 11, 2010 2:37 am
I was going through my favorites and deleting links to Japanese Tezuka fan sites that are now offline, when I rediscovered this page. It gives you a list of characters, and their ages, weights and heights! The following is a (rough) translation of all the text. For all you Americans, I've translated the Metric to Imperial, in feet-inches (i.e. f'i").
Through August 2004 to July 2007 on "Tezuka + I", there was a page of character profiles. When "Tezuka + I" closed, this left only the page's text in some archive sites, but the page was too good to fully disappear. I summarized the profiles here. The profile itself may be inaccurate, but Tezuka may have arranged all these at some point. So, I think this is official. I've included characters from the original page that had some stats missing. Please use this for reference only. I'm sorry this data is incomplete.

Personally, I think some of these only apply to their debut roles, or whichever role they appeared the most in. Keeping in mind that 5'7" is considered being a giant in Japan, some of these guys are tall to their standards. (Personally, I'd place Duke Red to be at least six feet tall, for one thing...) Or like how Rock is credited as being 17, when all the stuff he did in Alabaster would be more disturbing if he were a teenager. And I'm pretty sure Skunk is 25 in the 1980's series, if you look at his mugshot card. Whether or not they're accurate, I thought you guys would find this interesting.
