Uhm... when it comes to drawing TK "better"... it's better that we have an example of your art so we can make the best decision on the matter.
As for making a manga, sounds very ambitious. Though some authors may not be around any more, some you may need to ask, others... well, simply, list the authors you wish to ask so we can tell you which ones are still around here.
On a lighter note, this may sound weird, but I'm making a pic of TK, as well.
*will sooner or later send his own artwork to the DaD*
EDIT: Well... after looking at your work (on the DaD), I must say it is nicely done for a first try. However, your lack of body tone on the back of Tai leaves the character looking flat (shoulder blades, line in the center of the back to represent a spine, and those two dimple thingies you find on the top of the buttcheeks).
But before I go on... are you trying to be accurate with the body proportions anime-wise (proportions based on anime style), or human anatomy-wise (proportions based on an actual human body)? Reason I ask is becuase TK's proportions, anime-wise, he would have a slightly bigger head and shorter body. Human anatomy-wise, however, TK is basically dead-on. You see, actual human anatomy and anime anatomy can contradict each other a lot.
But don't be discouraged, like I said, you did well for your first try.
