Read from CBR on Franky:
Tatsuya Endo found inspiration for Spy x Family's intrepid informant Franky from a certain con man from the police drama White Collar.
According to a Reddit post that translated a fanbook between the three creators Endo, Blue Exorcist's Kazue Kato and Kono Oto Tomare! Sounds of Life's Amu, Endo revealed that he based Franky off White Collar's Mozzie. The Spy x Family mangaka said he "got into" White Collar after Amu watched it. Upon hearing that, Amu exclaimed, "I knew it! That's why I like Franky too. Despite being capable, he is comical and compassionate. I thought he was a lot like Mozzie."
