Now we know who designed all those bikinis.

I was watching the extras for The Incredibles this afternoon, and John Walker mentioned E's ethnicity somewhere in the commentary. I'd never thought of E having any actual ethnic background (beyond "eccentric") but it turns out they were aiming for "Japanese-German". And while Walker's talking about Brad Bird coming up with what a Japanese-German accent would sound like, I'm suddenly realizing I know of only one other half-Japanese, half-German character in all of existance...

And now I'm picturing Brad Bird doing the voice of Hitomi. I just thought I'd share that thought with the rest of you, because hey, why should I be the only one to suffer?

Wasn't Asuka Langley's mom also half Japanese/half German? Or was it her dad? I know Asuka herself is at least part German and at least part Japanese, at any rate--though Langley isn't a name that corresponds to either of those, so maybe her dad was English or American or something.

Wow, that's scary. I thought of that the same time, and I've only periodically watched others play Dead or Alive.

*is now unsure of whether to cry or laugh at the mental image* At least she wouldn't have Dr. Girlfriend's voice from The Venture Brothers. XD

I hate you.

Why, why did you have to put that image into my head?

Here's another (why is it so hard to get good pictures from Google Image Search?)
