Leiji Matsumoto (I)

Trivia:

The basic look for all Matsumoto's heroines was inspired by an old photograph he discovered during the Second World War. The photo was of Takako Mise, the granddaughter of Dr Philipp Franz Von Siebold, a Dutchman and the first European to teach Western medicine in Japan during the 1800s. Matsumoto was also inspired by actresses Marianne Hold, Eleanor Parker, Danielle Darrieux and Kaoru Yachigusa. See more trivia »
