I thought his race/ethnicity was something present in the comics but I’ve been reading through them and have found no mention of it so far

Japanese can have facial hair. Maybe because of emishi / ainu blood. Current social trend is strongly clean shave though.

Depends if you work in a Japanese company you’re expected to be clean shaven unless you wield a position of power or have spent years with the company then you are afforded a mustache as a means to show your elevated status in the company’s hierarchy/social order.
