She is sometimes seen drawing pictures, playing games, or reading children's stories. She cries when she is injured or throws things when she is mad. Because of that, she sometimes acts like an adult while other times as a 7-year-old. Pinoko says she is 18 years old because that is how long she was in her sister's body, but Black Jack says she is 0-years-old when he built her. Pinoko's life has been put in danger a few times she was kidnapped (Volume 2 Chapter 8: "Kidnapping", Volume 14 Chapter 2: "The Third Call", Volume 15 Chapter 1: "Treasure Island"), swallowed a potassium cyanide pill (Volume 4 Chapter 12: "Gas"), hit by a bullet (Volume 7 Chapter 10: "Black and White"), crashed a car (Volume 8 Chapter 8: "A Visit from a Killer"), and caught an aggressive form of leukemia (Volume 9 Chapter 2: "Pinoko Lives"). Black Jack modeled her face after a cute girl he had seen in a medical journal who suffers from a lung ailment of unknown origin (from Volume 7 Chapter 4: "The Two Pinokos"). Black Jack thinks of her as his daughter while she thinks of herself as his wife. Being still a child, she occasionally makes accidental errors, such as using salt instead of sugar while preparing meals. Eventually, she learned through hard effort. When she started living with Black Jack, she couldn't cook, clean, or take care of the house she couldn't even walk, let alone move. Her main value is companionship and source of affection for the ordinarily cold-natured doctor. She often acts as comic relief in Black Jack, claiming to be a girl of eighteen years of age and married to Black Jack, despite her childlike appearance and personality. Pinoko always helps the doctor by doing household chores and by being his assistant in some of his operations. Developing into a sentient though permanently child-sized life form, she was adopted by Black Jack as his informal ward. Her face and body, though artificial, are remarkably human in design. Her body is fully capable of walking, running, breathing and consuming/digesting food. Miraculously, the homunculus survived with all sensory reception intact. Using life support to maintain them, Black Jack encased the assembly in an artificially constructed exoskeleton sized and shaped in the form of a female human child (around 7 or 8 years). In the end, he found the cystoma, although a collection of uncontained organs and muscles, was complete in design if not form. When the presence of the twin was evidenced from a grotesque distortion in the host's body, Black Jack was contracted to extract and dispose of the growth. As seen in Volume 1 Chapter 3: "Teratogenous Cystoma", she was a rare type of parasitic twin, living as part of a patients' body for eighteen years. Pinoko is Black Jack's loyal assistant/adopted daughter, who was actually a Teratogenous Cystoma (a growth more commonly known as a teratoma).
In 1977, it won the 1st Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen. Black Jack is Tezuka's second most famous manga, after Astro Boy.
