About Han's design being inspired by Freddie Mercury... is that a certainty?

Because it could be argued he looks like Stalin, among others.

If it was not stated by the authors that they took inspiration from the singer, I'd kindly suggest to consider deleting that piece of info.

Best regards.

I'll have to look into it. One Japanese book lists the possible influences. Because AFAIK, Tetsuo Hara has never acknowledged who the characters are based on. Probably for legal reasons. evan1975 (talk) 14:50, September 18, 2017 (UTC)
Added the reference to the Japanese book in question. evan1975 (talk) 15:20, September 18, 2017 (UTC)

Evan1975 In the book in question, it is hypothesized that Han was modeled after Mercury, but that is just like fan's theories. The only similarity with Mercury, Gable, etc., is the mustache. Everything else in Han's appearance differs to those celebrities. I think it should be stated in the article that it is not really known if there was a model for Han, and if there was, it is not know. However, almost the entire Hokuto Fandom page cannot be edited, due to most articles having been edit locked. Not sure why bothering to make the webpage if only a few selected can make edits.
