    That's not what I said...

    I said Shampoo is a pretty common character type.  Just like most
Anime/Manga usually has the 'tomboy' female character there's usually
someone like her too.

    I don't see this character looking like Shampoo from the manga/anime I
saw, aside from the fact that Anime only has a few distinctive styles.
