Would not be the first time Nintendo has based a character on one of their musicians.

K.K. Slider (Totakeke in japanese) is said to be based on Kazumi Totaka.

I expected Gackt, and in some strange way, I'm disappointed.

Tingle has way too much testosterone to be Gackt. Gackt is much more likely to have been the model for Princess Zelda or maybe Link from the CD-i games.

LMAO omg.. XD

In other news, my life is ruined :(

And wasn't Kirby named after John Kirby or someone? And Mario after their landlord, Satoshi/Shigeru after two random blokes off the street...

I'm sure there are plenty more examples.

Satoshi is named after Satoshi Tajiri, creator of Pokemon and Shigeru is Shigeru Miyamoto ofcourse.
