>>271460609>Agnes Lum => Lum>Her iconic outfit is a bikini>Agnes Lum was a huge cultural icon in the 70's
>>271460140Can you dumb it down a shade?
>>271460609Rumiko was gooning to Agnes Lum, she even had a poster of her on her wall. Lum Invader is based on Agnes Lum - she's supposed to be this exotic beauty that will seduce the Japanese man and take him away from his Japanese trad wife.
>>271460113She might actually be more attractive than anime Lum here.
obligatory
>>271461323The woman was a menace, and yet a vanishingly rare example of the CF winning after the girl became an international sex symbol. Rumiko has always been a gooner of profound taste.
>>271461323So she really is a closeted lesbian.
>>271460840SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>271460840AWOOOOOOGAanganganganganghufhufhufhufhufhufhufwoof woof AWOOOOOO
>>271461821Not "closeted" so much as "open secret, who cares, mind your own fucking business"

Can you guess who this fruit is based off of?
>>271462520(You)
>>271462520i think either he or anno denies it though. there were at least a two guys in utena based on him and i see the resemblance in those ones a lot more though
Misato from EVA is based on VA Hidaka Noriko (Minami, Noriko, Akane) - Anno's first love.
>>271462520The guy who turns lesbian princesses into cars?
>>271461627The Kizaru guy must have been one of the biggest chads in his country.
>>271462684People always say this but what is the evidence? The story that she's based on an adult Usagi sounds more believable to me.

>>271462286Don't forget Alien Danny Trejo.
>Her Japanese name, "Fuumin", is a wordplay on "insomnia" (Japanese: 不眠 Fūmin), and Fuumin, the nickname of the Japanese gravure idol Fumie Hosokawa.
>>271461627damn, kizaru is really a splitting image of the real guy.
>>271462286He straight up drew her. She had the exact same outfit with the skull belt buckle.And then he drew her fucking Kurono.He must have REALLY liked the movie.
>>271460113Lum in Urusei Yatsura was not modeled after Agnes Lum, but was simply named after her. Also, the fact that Lum is spelled LUM is just a coincidence. The one who decided to spell it LUM was Atsuji Yamamoto, one of Takahashi's assistants at the time, and according to him, he did not know how to spell Agnes' last name when he made the decision.
>>271465321>He must have REALLY liked the movie.Not enough to keep her around unfortunately
>>271462520ikuhara.him and anno had a one night stand.

>>271460378holy shit oda is a genius

>>271466015A cutiepie. Just coom to her.
>>271460113Man of culture
>>271464631i would argue those works were pretty good and it's the works that built off those works without the same artistic inspirations that started straying too far from the light. also his influence is a bit overstated. everyone i've seen cited as saying they were inspired by him turned out to have more of a "yeah, sure. he fits the aesthetic" response when asked in interviews rather than bringing him up as a muse themselves.
>>271460113Always found it odd that Rumiko Takahashi, a female, can't draw anatomically correct booba. They don't grow out of the collarbone you stupid bitch.
>>271466472Isn't Kira japanese? I feel like westerners are inclined to see Bowie everywhere. I remember them saying Killua's dad looked like Bowie and then it turned out he was inspired by Baki's dad or something.
>>271465029The correct term is "spitting image".
>>271461627>Kuzan is half Korean

>>271462509NTA, but JAV Actress, Julia Boin/Kyoka. Also not sure if Yaomomo was based of Julia, Fubuki from One Punch Man definitely is though.
>>271460378lmao he's creatively bankrupt to an insane degree
>>271464631I wish I won the genetic lottery.
There is also Lynn Minmay being a mix between Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda, the production puts quite many references on both idols, which make me think animators were just fans of those idols and nothing that deep but still
>>271469653That ain't Minmay chief.
Did nobody post one of the most obvious examples from one of the most popular manga in recent memory, of one of the most famous musicians to ever live?And we're like 80 posts into the thread too, lmaoSony had him dealt with and possibly fed the rumors of kiddy diddling

>>271461737>and yet a vanishingly rare example of the CF winning after the girl became an international sex symbolThe CF was the tradwife. Rumiko started the trend of the foreigner taking away the MC from the CF and winning by force.
Allegedly based on the JAV actress Riku Minato, even her backstory was kinda similar (orphaned after Tohoku earthquake, even found her schoolbag amidst the debris of her collapsed house. Had to do JAVs to survive, but she's now retired from the industry).
>>271470767Her editors did. Rumiko didn't want that.
>>271467122>and then it turned out he was inspired by Baki's dad or something.Huh?
>>271460113does anybody know Kubo's inspiration for Rangiku? I have heard that it was some super model looking whore.

the protag of dan da dan is also named takakura ken. though honestly they are nothing alike in terms of looks nor personality
>>271470853She made peace with the fact during Rinne's runtime tho.Still doesn't remove the fact she was quite salty about that and that saltiness was reflected in Ranma's plot.
Neptuneman is based off of Hulk HoganTerryman is based off of Terry FunkBoth characters are from Kinnikuman and there are more examples of this but these are the most obvious.

Keron Army mecha designer Katoyama Kiko from Keroro season 6 is based on Gundam designer Hajime Katoki... although changed from a man into a cute girl.
>>271469653Madoka is based on Phoebe Cates.
>>271460378Why is Odor such a hack?
>>271460113Why is Lum so flat if the lady she’s based off of has big melons?
>>271464893?
>>271466015The old dude in Midsommar
>>271474586Just Rumiko's art style at the time. Dialogue a couple of times notes Shinobu felt liker her breasts were small compared to Lum's, even though there really wasn't any difference in the drawings.
>>271468948Would Whitebeard be cancelled if the things he said about Blackbeard leaked
>>271470767He meant the real Agnes Lum. She got married at the height of her popularity to a friend from childhood, who immediately knocked her up with twins. The family happily fucked off out of the spotlight forever. Ironic, since she was THE exotic temptress for a whole generation of Nips.
>>271469479"Tragic Beauty" may be a cliché, especially for Nip characters who look like Björn Andrésen, but trust me. You don't want his life.
>>271460113Obito's crush was based on a pornstar of the same name
>>271464631This kid will never be dethroned, he inspired so much over the decades from sheer natural beauty.
>>271473314Considering she had the sense to drop out of the rat race in her 20s instead of replacing half her body with industrial polymers in a doomed bid for perpetual attention, we may never know. Probably part of her lasting appeal.
>>271469479>no dad>mom killed herself at 10>repeatedly forced into sex with producersEven if you're a neet your life is definitely than his

>>271475357
>>271460113Joe the Condor from Gatchaman started off modeled after Steve McQueen, but then became more like Jack Palance as the show went along. Trying to find good comparison angles but Palance's face shape and cheekbones do fit the later stylized look.

>>271475724same
>>271462451Terminator came out in Japan like two months before this episode of Dancouga where the aliens attack with discount terminators
>>271470638Naaa. Rumiko may idolize rocker knockers, but her heroines are usually modestly proportioned. ‘Oh, what about Lum?’ Lum was never meant to be the main girl of Urusei yatsura. It was supposed to be Shinobu. Lum was such a fan favorite that she had to be brought back, and Rumiko tried for a love triangle plot for a bit before surrendering and just making Lumtaru end game. She did not make the same mistake with Xiam Puu when she made Ranma one half, burying her until long after Ranma and Akanes’ dynamics were set in stone.
I thought there would be more Marilyn influence in anime considering how big she was in America
>>271462411>>271462446besides the song mentioning the singer getting hit with a gretsch by asai kenichi, how else is the premise modeled after the song?
isn't spike based off of matsuda yuusaku

>>271462446>>271462517>>271462411Ringo Sheena is literally one the best, coolest, sexiest Jpop singers ever she is so fucking good. Her new stuff isnt as good but its also not bad either.
>>271473285And a bunch of them are set in the West, but part 4 isn't.
>>271465635Atsuji Yamamoto has been a friend of Rumiko Takahashi since they met at Kazuo Koike's manga school, and he helped her in the early days of Urusei Yatsura. He is the only man among Takahashi's former and current assistants.
>>271475357this and bjorn are both baffling to me because they're attractive but not the kind that would make me do a double-take or anything. they're the kind of beautiful i might encounter once in a while in daily life and be impressed by, but people act like they're earth shatteringly gorgeous
>>271460113Obligatory
I'm pretty sure this guy is based on someone
Yumi Takaichi.

>>271476939They go to read about her and run into all the menhera stuff and turn back to living white chicks showing more real estate on film.
>>271474663Fine regal features even in old age
>>271474663looks like Alan Moore with a decent haircut
>>271477806Bro, your movie version of Kakihara.
>>271479365Alan Moore is a proper wizard and looks the part. There's nothing wrong with his haircut.
>>271478258Hitler being in Dragon Ball media still feels so surreal.
>>271469057always thought that his original face was just Harlock without the scar and eyepatch
>>271479451He meets his ideal Aryans and they're half-breed alien Asians who kick his ass without any guns. Seems pretty well done to me.
>>271475109Is Hauer in there twice
>>271479139I think it's more that she didn't really embody Japanese values of beauty and was kind of a bulky hag by their standards. I'm reminded of a story I read on jp twitter years ago about a lady who was talking with her friend group who had one american friend visiting from overseas and when the topic of sexy celebrities came up that friend brought up the sexiest man alive poll which had just awarded Dwayne the Rock Johnson as the winner and all the other girls couldn't believe it because he looked like a gorilla to them, so the american friend asked who they thought was the sexiest guy and her reaction to the jp celebrities they showed her was "those all look like women!"The traits that are valued just differ by culture a lot.
>>271472051Poor guy was born too early for #MeToo, the idolization of gender politics, and OnlyFans
>>271469479fucker was abused by italian P. Diddy
>>271471564>>271472295Kinnikuman was, not surprisingly, full of these. Apart from Hogan, Terry Funk and Bruiser Brody off the top of my head there are characters in it based on:Abdullah the ButcherThe SheikDusty RhodesHigh Chief Peter MaiviaFritz Von ErichSkull MurphyBilly RobinsonShinsuke NakamuraThere's probably loads more that I can't remember or haven't realised. Antonio Inoki and Giant Baba appeared in the original manga, Big Van Vader and Stan Hansen appeared in one of the Nisei series.
>>271479701Standards all those years ago differ more from now than Japan's now do.
>>271480034these host club faggots are still seen as the pinnacle of masculine beauty in japan. I guess the average japanese man can't look virile no matter how hard he tries so they need to push a masculine beauty standard that goes into the opposite direction
>>271480218Host clubs are fetish specific. You need to look at ads and fashion mags for middle of the road standards.
Arcueid was based on a white model whom the Type Moon guys saw in a magazine
>>271480218Those guys arent masculine. Bottom left looks straight like a woman and I'd probably have sex with any of those guys because they're pretty, not masculine.
Cant believe no one has mentioned strike witches yet. Every character is an anime girl version of a ww2 ace pilot.
>>271480218Eh, I recently was privy to a conversation of women complain about how hulking and muscly some males are in films and how they want male leads to be slimmer and more handsome and it wasn't the first time I heard that sentiment, and these women were literal boomers so it's not just a recent generation thing. I think pretty boys like Twilight-era Robert Pattinson are a lot closer to what more women actually like than the super muscular action heroes a lot of men idolize as the ideal of male beauty. The Japanese may take it a step farther, but there's a basis for it.
>>271480571Those women were just pedophiles.
>>271467122Bowie looks nearly identical to Kira, especially in this performance: https://youtu.be/MsfrmNeiuQI?t=33
>>271480218Pretty men can be masculine
>>271480571literally every single adult romance novel cover says otherwise
>>271480604i mean once you're in your 60s, your options for screen crushes are gonna be limited if you hold yourself to that standard
>>271480571just reminded of a podcast where they interview a porn actress that makes videos with both men and women, and when asked what is her favorite kind of women to record with she said "women that are tall and muscular"
>>271480654Those aren't men, they're breeding studs. Different kind of fantasy.
>>271480744I wish I could tell if those are written by a chick with a beastiality kink of or some guy with a zoomorphism kink
>>271461627Spike Speigel is also based on number 3
>>271480844You know what's worse? The product reviews. Definitely written by women.
>>271480639a man can be pretty and masculine, but a man can't be androgynous and masculine, and what japs push as ideal masculine beauty steps in androginy territory
>>271480922I assume the author is someone like Vaush, the commie youtuber that wants to shapeshift into a horse and fuck lolis
Do they? Last time I my local supermarket's paperback section the covers for romance slop definitely didn't look like a they were taken from a gay calendar like you pic seems to be suggesting.

>>271460113It surprise me that an Asian chick that skinny could have those big bazongas.
>>271474780>She got married at the height of her popularity to a friend from childhood, who immediately knocked her up with twins.exceedingly based and revolutionary
>>271460378lmao this image is probably older that most posters in this thread. Amazing.

>>271486284Homage. No way that shit is traced
>>271482179I thought he was based on some guy texting on the train.
>>271460378>The character who moonwalks and has a similar-sounding name to Michael Jackson>is based on Steve TylerYeah, ok, sure.
>>271490542His name IS Freddie, so...
>>271481201Yes she's 26 and the 15 year old MC fucked her.
>>271484757Thanks that's the one I was asking for

>>271460113My stick reacted to the picture on the right side.

>>271497789You can draw people however you want and then say they're whatever ethnicity you want.
>>271474363Kind of incredible when you think about how a character from an early 80s movie that got mostly mixed reception during release played a major role in the development of the entire tsundere character archetype.

>>271513280>That 50% female readerbase for Sci-Fi could easily be much bigger than the 99% female readerbase reading historical romance.That's doubtful considering the overwhelming majority of goodreads users are women, leading to an overrepresentation in genres that are usually dominated by men.
>>271472295Andre the Giant?!
>>271480571I mean there is a point when the only ones noticing you're getting bigger are other men, I think it's weird how there is this point where girls stop caring about how big you are.
remember when the japanese used to think Putin was a nice fella
>>271480639I wonder how much of a factor his origins had in determining his facial aesthetic.
>>271481127LIST THEM, FFS!
Chrollo is Japanese visual kei singer who was popular in 1999.
>>271484757Who are the females?
>>271514258isn't he based on Dark Schneider?
>>271461737>The woman was a menace?
>>271463643Pretty that's a real person and not an anime/manga character.
>>271495264He an auto racer or something?
>>271497047What all was plagiarized?
>>271460378HODY JONES IS BASED ON BRIAN JOHNSON FROM ACDC NOT FUCKING MICHAEL JACKSON WHAT THE FUUUUUUUCK
>>271513640Never understood why they all associate athletic women with gorillas, either.
>>271514344The middle one looks like Yuu Kobayashi
>>271512271I understood that reference
>>271514344Just search up who voiced the characters
>>271514244>implyingAmerimutt spotted
>>271514431ShindoL based a girl on her
>>271514244Even family guy portrayal of putin was the same
>>271463643this is probably a bit of a stretch
>>271514244Didn't Ride-On King get cancelled because of the war? Japan can't go against their American overlords.
>>271516437Yes.
>>271516437i think it's a little weird to make manga glorifying world leaders regardless of whether they're good or bad irl anyway, there's no way to make it not seem like propaganda
>>271513997That doesn't really address that you could get those numbers on the graph you posted with very few readers of one particular genere, and a genre being targeted at women being majority women is no mystery nor indicative of what the majority of one particular website reads let alone the global population. Just take the L.
>>271516437It's still going, but they changed his looks (is hairline is different and now has a big crossed scar on his forehead)
>>271460378Lmao what a hack
>>271518546>seethingI accept your concession
>>271518546bot? what do those bottom two have to do with the top reply and how are they inflammatory
Kuroko and Ginobili>tfw the video was deleted
>>271514244Why wouldn't they? he never did anything against Japan.Japan itself soured their relationship by trying to use the war as an excuse to demand the "return" of the Kuril islands.
>>271477669Compared to the other stuff on the Jpop market, it's still pretty good but her latest stuff is just okay. I just like the fact she doesn't get caught up doing the same thing over and over again or going insane like Utaru Hikaru did.At least I can still jerk it to her older stuff.
>>271464631>>271469479He always look hideous. Like a nordcuck chalamet with an even more faggot face
Heroines
>>271505471Is the left one from Brazzers? Link now if she is, damn
>>271516695the japs (used to) like him because he was the first russian state leader in more than a century that decided to just leave Japan alone iirc
>>271505471I thought she was just a viera from final fantasy
>>271521390THE ONLY GIRL I'VE EVER LOOOOVED
>>271462411got a source for the premise thing? i can't find anything online
>>271468193is that supposed to be Druk ?
>>271513997Anon I don't think you understand how statistics work.
>picrel is named Maria Oosawa>there is a JAV girl named Maria Oozawaalthough the name is the only similarity, what the fuck did they mean by this ?
>>271519113Retard.Japan has never changed its stance regarding the Kuril islands ever since the end of the war, and the quotes around "return" make no sense because it is an objective truth that they have been administered by Japan before.It also didn't "demand" the islands back recently, because that could be considered an act of war.The only thing Japan did recently was bring up the topic again, which they've been doing regularly for decades.

>>271523211what gender thing
>>271523483she cast off having a gender kind of like prince cast off having a readable name
>>271523659>she cast off having a genderwhat does that even mean
>>271510248By the way, why is Aokiji recognized as Black in Western fandom? His design is based on a Japanese actor, and above all, his skin isn't even dark.
>>271524059The thick lips, mostly. The skin isn't dark, but it's darker than a lot of the other characters, and the hair further confuses things.
>>271467407I thought it was just bullshit from Koreans again, but it turned out to be true.I kneel Gook-sama...
>>271523957it means the honorifics in your legal documents change to something you made up and not much else. i gave you the prince example and you foolishly ignored it
>>271463643
>>271480470Not quite. The British anime girl stand-in is a version of a Canadian WW1 ace.
>>271464631he's probably singlecockedly responsible for half the hapas in japan
>>271460113Based off /a/non.
>>271465525I had also heard a similar rumour he was "experimenting" or something. I think an anno interview even.
>>271518546Good morning, Ivan!
>>271472051Right, cause fat fucks with warts all over their body and no ability and other deformities have it so easy amirite?
>>271490542His name is literally Freddie.
>>271511919He was effeminate until the 80s. After that he was literally a gachi stereotype
>>271463643She kinda looks like Shinichi from Parasyte.
>>271496952Kinda weird how everyone thinks he's Keanu now.
>>271521747Thank god Makima gassed the jews
>>271528214that's not what was said or being addressed
The underwear in the head is an idea from Hentai Kamen, but Ayame’s hospital-gown-like dress reminds me the porn actress known as Katsuni in the scene I post (2005 approximately). The blue of the truck in the movie is a merely coincidence with the name Setsugen no Ao.
>>271528518No he's implicitly inferring it for bait reasons.
>>271460140I'm not sure I do.Could you drop the subtlety and be more explicit?
>>271467122>Isn't Kira Japanese?Obviously you gibbering retard,the point is that Bowie was the INFLUENCE for Kira's design.
>>271467122>Isn't Kira japanese? I feel like westerners are inclined to see Bowie everywhere. I remember them saying Killua's dad looked like Bowie and then it turned out he was inspired by Baki's dad or something.at this point i'm inclined to believe non-westeners see themselves as white people with dark hair or somethinghow retarded or deluded do you have to be to look at a character like kira or kenshiro and go "yup this guy is japanese"
>>271460140What did he mean by this
>>271528142source or you're lying
>>271530560I can't remember.It could be false memories 2bh. I might be mixing shit up. I swear it was in a thread once and there was some proof of it.

I recently read that Rouge is based (at least visually, ie her body) on Jennifer Lopez.

>>271522342The ones who do keep quiet about it and make money.
>>271529899Ask all the Japanese who see Japanese characters as Japanese.
>>271514431It's famously a shoop that greatly obscures the original model. It was used by Time and others to fake war images back before there was an internet to notice and raise a stink about such things.
>>271514581And yet that error will continue until you personally edit the image to set the record straight.
>>271514244I mean, he is. You'd start the same war if your people were facing famine after the total failure of trade and diplomacy.
>>271519515>ringoBad apple.
>>271522436There was also a news reporter named Rick Sanchez who was fired then killed.
>>271529899Why do white people think they look like anime characters? I've seen them say brown anime characters have "white features" when theey obviously look Arab or Latin Aamerican
>>271526351And now you can detect that kind of bot.
>>271537074Everyone is trained to identify their own race as default, so they don't realize most Asians see them like this.
>>271537143every time a brown character gets posted on /v/ anons claim they're white people(not even southern europeans, straight up whites) with a tan
>>271537143>>271537212Hey, it's Hanuman. Are you gonna tell us what we think and how we feel?
>>271537258>generalise none-whites>"no you can't do that against us"hypocrite
>>271537143>Everyone is trained to identify their own race as defaultLike hell they are. Anyone who's an ethnic minority in the country they were raised knows this is absolutely false.If anything, you learn there's no such thing as a "default".

>>271460113Surprised this haven't been posted yet

If all of this Porn star inspiration is true I'm really surprised that's allowed to fly. Imagine a new batman villain is a tall bald doctor named Johnathan Sins.
>>271511919I think their image of gay men was equally as influenced by the Village People and somehow they're depictions of Freddie got blended in with that.
>>271537592The Fertile Crescent
>>271536472What about for Momoka?
I've been wanting to make this for a while but now I have an actual reason to.
>>271463643She has that GITS 1995 Major blank stare down pat.
>>271480445Why does the modeling business have such a hardon for women with androgynous faces and bodies?
>>271474980Kenshiro is literally "What if you put Bruce Lee's mind and skills into Sylvester Stallone's body and had him play Mad Max instead of Mel Gibson?"
>>271480654The real joke is that she's literally just describing Nightwing

>>271539582Androgynous models are appealing to both genders
>>271540219Sweater puppies tho.
>>271539476>In the early days, Baki had an appearance that closely resembled Naoyuki Taira.>As time passed, he grew his hair and changed his hairstyle, making his appearance closer to Itagaki's.Does this indicate that Baki, for Itagaki, changed to a self-insert character?
>>271540487I think it was to make him look more Yujirou since they don't look very alike early on.
>>271540487Wtf why new Baki looks so ugly and creepy?
>>271475357That's a guy?
>>271539476And the model for the Shinogi brothers is Yoshiki, the drummer of X-Japan, whom Itagaki was a fan of at the time.
>>271479701East asians subsist on fuck all food and most of that is shit like rice which has next to no nutrition. Over the centuries their standards have come to encourage toothpick figures instead of v-shape figures for men or hourglass-shape figures for women, because the latter figures require a lot more nutrition to attain and maintain.

>>271540803You would think it would be incredibly easy to proteinmaxx on an island nation, surrounded by an infinity of fish and crabs and squids and shit.
>>271540734The prince from Level E is also modeled after Yoshiki.Most bishonen characters from the '90s and 2000s were modeled after visual kei musicians.Chrollo from Hunter x Hunter is the same.

>>271537901Where's Ötzi ?
>>271524059Because both Japan and Korea are so insistent on using fairness filters, hair straighteners and plastic surgery no one imagines theres curly hair and brown skin among them. Theres few anime characters of Okinawan and Ryuku and all who are depicted as dark like Koito from Golden Kamuy and one of the dads in an old horror anime but they are the rarest of the rare. Mutts are extremely self isolated and think curly hair and dark skin only exist in those of African descent and don't consider anything that didn't descend from Noah's arcs that set sail from Europe as real.
>>271524276And who said Nips don't have thick lips? Isshos actor did too and very prominently the actor who starred in some Kurosawa movies as the old man like Ikiru had ones which would be considered racist if drawn. Ironically Oda is right in that Bunta Sugawara is actually a very good looking man except he looks criminal(Japanese) and he emphasized his worst facial lines when making Akainu pretimeskip.

Why are there so many characters based on JAV girls/gravure models?
>>271540803People were stick thin in Europe around the time ideal female beauty was to look well-fed (and have a big forehead for some reason), it's not really about what the average looks like or else all women would go for musclefreaks and yet that's far more appealing to gay men.
