Do any anime characters remind you of real people?

[Misty-Moo]

When I first saw Viola in the anime, it struck me how much she reminded me of someone (a school friend with whom I shared a special & life-defining moment with). My friend had brown eyes, but everything else is so similar, such as her hair & the way she dresses.

So, what about you? Do any anime characters remind you of old friends, relatives, etc.?​

Serena at the moment reminds me of myself, as I too don't exactly have a clear idea on what I want to do with my life. And I like her, I feel a certain amount of pressure since it's my second year in college. And as a further testament to that, just like she noted Ash, Clemont, Shauna, Tierno and Trevor's explicit goals, I'm also surrounded by people who know what major they're pursuing and/or what career they want.

Of all people, Ash himself vs me! Ash left Pallet Town travelling for golly-knows-how-long, and I've also left my family in Japan to live in Australia, 11 years and still counting. Both of us has been quite determined to live our dreams (him being Pokémon master vs me actually settling down in Australia and make my mark career/family-wise) as well. And come to think about it, both Ash and I are outside of (Poke-)Japan; him in France and me in, as I said before Australia.

Trip reminds me off a jerkass kid next door. Must be why I hated the guy so much.

Killer Bee from Naruto Shippuden reminds me of Hulk Hogan. Freaking epic.

Please note that this thread is about discussing Pokemon characters that remind you of real people, not just general anime characters.

It's bending the rules a bit, but Pachirisu reminds me of an albino squirrel at a college I attended for a semester and a half.

Diantha, the Kalos champion looks like Audrey Hepburn

Whenever I watch an episode featuring Grant, it sounds to me that the dub actor is doing a Barack Obama impersonation

I think Serena pretty much reminds me of myself. It seems we have similar personalities and similar issues with not knowing what we want to do with our careers in the future.

Mae and her brother Max both remind me of my younger cousins, who are coincidentally siblings too. The way they interact most of the time really reminds me of them. I already pointed this out to them.
