{{Multiple issues| {{more citations needed|date=February 2015}} {{one source|date=February 2015}} {{Cleanup list|date=March 2017}} }} {{nihongo|'''Osamu Tezuka's Star System'''|手塚漫画のキャラクター一覧|Tedzuka Manga no Kyarakutā Ichiran|{{lit}} The Tezuka Manga Character List}} is the name given to the [[recurring character]]s in [[manga]] created by [[manga artist]] [[Osamu Tezuka]]. Throughout his career, Tezuka frequently re-used the same character designs or names in different roles across his series; for example, the character Shunsaku Ban appears as a detective in ''[[Metropolis (manga)|Metropolis]]'' and as [[Astro Boy (character)|Astro Boy]]'s teacher in ''[[Astro Boy (1963 TV series)|Astro Boy]]''. The name alludes to the [[Hollywood (film industry)|Hollywood]] practice of the [[Star system (filmmaking)|star system]], and can be seen as analogous to [[film director]]s who work with the same actors across multiple films; Tezuka joked about how much his characters were paid, and occasionally based them on famous western actors.<ref>{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1eFnjcvxul4C&q=Tezuka+Star+System+salary&pg=PA78 | title = Japanese Visual Culture: Explorations in the World of Manga and Anime | isbn = 9780765633088 | last1 = MacWilliams | first1 = Mark Wheeler | year = 2008}}</ref>
