Kojima says in the Visual Databook that when he was first planning the game, he imagined Karen Kirishima, a Japanese model, singer and actress. Here are some pictures:

The PC-9821 version looks a lot like her. All the characters were slightly redrawn with the 3DO version onwards because of the anime sequences.

You can really see the resemblance there. They changed her looks slightly for the console versions, but the PC-98 one looks a lot like her.

Interesting...any more characters mentioned in the visual data book on the topic of who they were based on etc?

Gatse is based on Sean Connery, and Victor is based on Masahiko Ueno, a former Tokyo medical examiner.

Thanks for those.

Oh and I still think Gatse looks more like Clint Eastwood.

Victor's glasses were much smaller then that, as well. ;)

Good try though man.

Eya, I was in a bad mood when I did it.... Bad mood, lol. I know I could do it better, I just don't have the time on my hands now, or the motivation... Besides, I'd rather be shopping pretty ladies. Does Meryl look like anyone to you? lol

Meryl eh? That's a tough one...maybe Marc can shed some light on that?

I'd like you to do more though of different characters that we KNOW are based on somebody, hell, even people we think they look like. I always thought that Salvatore looked like a young Joe Pesci actually (by young, I mean how he looks in Once Upon A Time In America; with black hair). :cool:
