Happy Birthday, Kenzo Tenma!

And happy new year!

I love you~

Edo Period (do not fact check me) Kenzo Tenma

I was reading some stuff about the Edo period and just wanted to draw a portrait of Kenzo in something similar to their style painting style.

Tbh this is just my vision of concubine Kenzo🤭 Hence the pretty looks 🥰

I KNOW this was meant for OCs but I couldn't help but make this for Kenzo.

That's why "OC" was crossed out.

I must worship him any chance I get 😩

Elaborating on my choices below 👇

For aesthetics, I added the neurosurgery pic obv. Cloudy weather with rays of sunshine (cause he's a ray of sunshine between all the rain clouds 💗) with birds flying across. And a picnic because our Kenzo likes picnics and I can visualize him all beautiful during a sunny day on a picnic with us 💕

For favorites, that's meant to be favorite color, favorite movie/show, and favorite animal.

I'm not creative so I headcanon his favorite color is blue because idk. Trust me bro.

For his favorite movie, a friend suggested he could've liked Titanic so I added that one, maybe he likes romance/dramas!

And for his favorite animal, I think he'd like birds. We sometimes saw birds appear in the show around Tenma and I view it as a symbol of hope. Like the birds visit him sometimes to remind him to never lose hope and to remember his ways, and honestly that just makes it more beautiful.

Character inspirations are mostly what I analyzed Urasawa could've been inspired by while making Dr Tenma.

We have the archangel Uriel, which is a bit of a stretch but I chose him because someone analyzed Kenzo Tenma's name, and they've concluded that his name means "Light of God", which is the same name meaning that Uriel has.

Then we have, of course, Doctor Tenma from Astroboy. No need to explain why I placed him there.

Next we have Naoki Urasawa himself, I've thought he took a bit about himself in the making of Kenzo. They've shared some physical qualities such as the longer hair and the stubble, they share the same birthday, and often times, authors tend to make characters they can relate to, to some extent.

And finally, I added the protagonist from The Fugitive, since Naoki took inspiration from that 1960s movie when making Monster.

And as for the songs, I probably didn't do it right because I just added the songs that make me think of him, not songs that relate to him lol. So I'm not explaining. I just listen to them and think omg Kenzito🥺💝

💕Thank you to whoever read this wall of text.💕

Ramblings regarding Dr. Tenma

I was thinking ONE of the reasons why Tenma could've stayed with Eva for so long and put up with it was because he was scared.

Cuz the moment he graduated highschool, he left Japan for a foreign country (according to Another Monster). So of course, he was very young, that's a scary thing for a young person. Sure, it's not like anybody had his back in Japan (cause his family were a bunch of opportunistic rats) but he had people he knew, and knew what to expect, and now he's in a whole other country with people who can be hostile to him for being asian, since at the time they didn't take kindly to foreigners/minorities.

He made friends in college but based on how he is (in Another Monster, it is said he never liked being in groups), he probably didn't feel like it was actually meaningful since none of those friendships lasted. I feel like people were only interested because OMG ITS JACKIE-CHAN!! joined their white-dominated college.

Really, the only person he could rely on was the director Heinemann and Eva.

He put up with it because he needed someone to depend on, he needed someone to guide him and tell him what to do just like Eva did, because in the end that is all he had. So the poor thing, of course, would be scared to be left without the things and people whom he relies on, even if those things harmed him.

He was young... Only when he grew up and was able to live independently, he was able to let go of those things, after he's had enough.

All the people he's depended on wanted nothing but the worst for him tbh </3 maybe that's why Eva's curses never phased him cause he was used to it already due to his bitch mom (unreasonably harsh on him according to Tenma's former colleagues. I'm 100% sure it's worse than they put it cause Tenma is the most patient and forgiving person ever, his family and stupid mom must've been the worst if he literally never went back, never responds to his brother's letters and overall does not wish to speak about them).

I could go in more detail about my headcanons for this but I'll see.
