im glad CLAMP character designs haven't really been mentioned much, each project of theirs always has at least one character that looks like one from their previous project (Suzaku - Code Geass + Syaoran - Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Watanuki - xxxHoLic + Chikahito - Gate 7) so they really aren't that uncanny, just poor imagination


Yeah when I said that Tsubasa's Syaoran and Code Geass's Suzaku looked alike, it, for whatever reason, slipped my mind that Clamp did the character designs for Code Geass Embarassed Maybe I forgot since Code Geass isn't an actual Clamp work, they just designed the characters.

Another lookalike pair that came to mind was Yuki from Fruits Basket and Miki from Revolutionary Girl Utena, only with different colored hair. Although animator Akemi Hayashi worked on both Fruits Basket and Utena, so maybe that played a part in that resemblance. (Did my research this time Wink) Plus the fact that those characters were both voiced by Aya Hisakawa adds to the resemblance, too.

Oh, I conveniently made this image for a different topic recently:


Bonus points for Tadase (Shugo Chara) being male and Charlotte (Infinite Stratos) being female?

You know, when you put Kanata and Yui next to each other, they aren't as similar as when you see them seperately. The faces are quite different...

Two really uncanny look-alikes: Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess and Aoi, the crossdressing cop from You're Under Arrest! LOL!

I hadn't read that part in the article. Yep, they have the same original artist...

Gin Ichimaru (Bleach) and Hazama (BlazBlue) are both voiced in English by Doug Erholz. It must be intentional.

They are also both played off as the main villain in their respective stories but are shown to actually be the manipulative second-in-command who secretly plots to dispose of their bosses.

Oh yeah, there was another one that slipped my mind. Sha Gojyo from Saiyuki and Stiyl Magnus from A Certain Magical Index.
