Just for Fun - Look-Alikes in Anime

There's this theory of mangaka, that sometimes an idea, especially regarding the character design is the same as an idea of another mangaka and at the same time, they create look-alike character (Like a meteor, fall into many parts and were received by some people at the same time). This theory can prevent mangaka from the issue of plagiarism, although not all of this theory is correct. This also happen in anime sometimes. Anyway, just enjoy :


I have said this before in Night Wizard Anime review. Really, they just look like each other, especially the face and except the eye and hair color.


Without any doubt, many see Yuri from Angel Beats! looks like Suzumiya Haruhi. I placed the altered version of Yuri in the middle to show more about their similarities. They also similar in the sense of holding the leader position of an organization (SSS and SOS)

I've been thinking about this. Their hairstyle just look alike.

This one too, I think their hairstyle look alike, even the color is almost similar (blue). Both of them specialized in battle.

Somehow, Yuto just looks like another Yuuji. Their names begin with Yu-, their hairstyle look alike, even their expressions! (both of them have flaaaat expression as a main character) Both of them also have a girl wielding a katana, loving and willing to protect them (Shana and Himari). What a coincidence !!

Hairstyle - almost the same - just different in color. Face too.

A bit strange, but play Lee in Tekken using his tuxedo costume, then you will remember Hayate. Their hairstyle and their outfit...

Sejougahara - Shouko - Shizuku. Hairstyle: confirmed (a bit difference in front cut). Hair color: almost the same. Personality: look-alike. I think Senjougahara's hairstyle and hair-color can be found in many anime nowaday...

Hairstyle and hair color almost the same !! Except big-flat chest and personality.

If you find some unsimilarities, remember, this is just a piece of similarity and just for fun, so don't mind. If you have any more suggestion, comment on this post (however, look-alike characters are so many...that's the only problem) !
