Artist's Comments

Probably why both of them are favorites of mine.

Ryoga and Kouga, from Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha respectively, are almost frighteningly alike in a lot of ways.

They're both amazingly dense, like a girl who doesn't like them back (who happens to be in love with the man they're rivals with), are rivals with someone they hate for some life-changing thing (Ryoga's pig curse/Kouga's "love" for Kagome), and are generally pretty nice guys in the end that are shy and awkward about love in and of itself. They both also have a REALLY bad habit of getting in WAY over their heads. It goes without saying that Takahashi used the same naming pattern for both of them (Ryoga = "good fang", Kouga = "steel fang" ) .

Kouga has a better sense of direction, though.

My two favorite Takahashi boys. Hibiki Ryoga and Kouga. :heart:

Ryoga and Kouga are both c/o Rumiko Takahashi.

Much, sankya.

And it's true! Kouga and Ryoga have a lot in common (set aside Kouga's liking for wearing furs and Ryoga's lack of directional sense). Takahashi-san even followed the same naming pattern for them, calling them both a name that has something to do with "fang".

Ranma and Inuyasha are actually very alike too. Almost unnervingly so... <_<

Yus, yus, they are, XD and you even have a bit of Happosai in Miroku! *JK!!*

Yes, Ranma and Inu both have women with power on top of their tempers and like for the color red, and black hair...... I like Kagome better though because she's a much more caring person and all she has to do is say sit. ^_~

I think that it might just be that she really liked certain aspects of some of her characters from Ranma, or just the characters as a whole. It might not be a coincidence that they're alike. Maybe, just a random over-thought, um, thought.

Yes, do you know what else scares me about Ranma and Inuyasha?

They both have the same Voice actor, Japanese AND English... (Can't remember which season Ranma they got but I think it was season one, I have to check my sources again.)

Now how is THAT for a coincidence??

"Richard Cox" is thename of the English one though, xDDD when I found out I said: OKAY THATS IT!!
