I designed a mother for Grimmer! We don't know crap about his past so I may as well do my own headcanons. Her name is Elli.

For background, I was thinking she's a single mother who took care of Grimmer. Until the cold war came. Elli was a journalist and she secretly worked amongst groups of people who disagreed with communist ideologies.

And then, a friend of Elli decided to rat her out. Which led to her being politically persecuted for being part of a group that expressed disdain against communism.

Elli, with her little son at the time, had no option but to flee.

Her objective was to cross the Berlin Wall with her son, and got very far. Unfortunately, not far enough. Grimmer's mother ended up being shot at the border and he was then taken to Kinderheim 511.

And that's the context I came up with lolol

Gorgeous 😍💋💕💕💕

Nurse Tenma ❤

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🥺💝
