And so, the 100 Art Theme Challenge rages on! Wow, that's a lot of mirrors, eh? Make sure not to break any of them... x.x

Anywho, I can't be the only person to notice that many (and I do mean MANY) of Takahashi's characters share similar appearances. I tried to limit it to just five comparisons, but the truth is that most of her characters have at least one lookalike in another of her series.

Anywho, from top to bottom, left to right, we have the following: Ryunosuke Fujinami from Urusei Yatsura, Ryoga Hibiki from Ranma ½, Mr. Mendo (father to Shutaro Mendo and Ryoko Mendo) from Urusei Yatsura, Soun Tendo (father to Akane Tendo, Nabiki Tendo, and Kasumi Tendo) from Ranma ½, Lum from Urusei Yatsura, Xian-Pu (or Shampoo, if you prefer how Viz takes away the subtly of the pun) from Ranma ½, School Nurse/Priestess Sakura from Urusei Yatsura, Kyoko Otonashi from Maison Ikkoku, Akari Unryu from Ranma ½, and Kagome Higurashi from Inu-Yasha.

Beware of the doppleganger in the mirror, for he/she may be another person entirely... OoOoOoOoOoOh.....

I agree. Takahashi is recycling a lot of characters. Ryoga also has a lookalike in Inuyasha, the wolf demon. I forgot the name.

I believe you are referring to Koga. Yes, he does look quite similar to Ryoga. As I said, this picture is really only the tip of the iceberg.

Thanks for the comment! :)

Hmmm...similiarities!

I had never actually noticed before, but you are correct Spoony! Brilliant!

There's only a few characters from Takahashi's serial mangas that don't have a look-alike in another series, but the only one that comes to mind right now is Mousse from Ranma 1/2. Unless someone can prove me wrong...

Holy cow, that is a lot of look-alikes!! :O You did a good job with the side-by-side comparisons too. :3

I'm surprised you never noticed since you really like Ranma ½. :P

Anywho, thanks for the comment, AGoI. :)

Ya, I actually can't think of anyone that looks like him, either. I'm sure it's only a matter of time until he gets a lookalike as well, though... :XD:
