A 1996 color image by Ishinomori briefly had reverted him to a pitch-black coloration and a grey nose, though the 1997 concept art for "GOD'S WAR" showed a much more realistically designed Pyunma with dark brown skin and hair.

However, this instead created the unusual effect of making him look like he had two sets of lips.īy the time of "Emergency Simulation 1992", he is depicted in a much less caricatured style, and is given brown skin and dark grayish-black hair. His design was slightly tweaked in 1980, to give him larger irises and a pair of smaller lips in the middle of the white area of his face, perhaps with the intent of making it look like a beard. Throughout the majority of his early manga appearances, he is rendered in the blackface style and appears with pitch black skin and oversized white lips in Ishinomori's colored artwork, along with a lighter-colored nose. Pyunma is a young African man with a light-colored, shaved buzz-cut hairstyle.
