    I'm not aware that Shampoo being a common character prototype from the
anime/manga I read.

    Though most anime/manga has a character who is clueless/ditzy/out of
touch with reality, and you can roughly lump Shampoo into that category, but
it'd like saying Akane is a common character prototype because most Anime
has the the tomboy prototype character too.

Me, on Skies of Arcadia.
