Line 77:
* There's also Hirofumi Ichikawa, who started off writing [[Fanfic|doujinshi]] and was particularly influential in introducing Japanese fans to the original portrayals of the ''[[Beast Wars]]'', as opposed to the [[Cut and Paste Translation|somewhat less than faithful Japanese dub]]. He has since been hired by Takara to write a fair number of toy bios, comics, and guidebooks, and even got to design toys for the ''[[Transformers Energon|Super Link]]'' and ''[[Transformers Cybertron|Galaxy Force]]'' lines.
* David Willis, author of the ''[[Walkyverse]]'' [[Web Comic|web comics]], is another long-time ''Transformers'' fan, who has been hired by Hasbro to produce convention art. He also got to create [[Transformers: Shattered Glass|Shattered Glass]] Ravage, who has become a canon character.
* Matt Tieger, the director of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]'' series, is a big Transformers fan, in particular of the Dinobot Grimlock. So strong is his admiration for the character that [https://web.archive.org/web/20121022165329/http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/4/24/2962458/grimlock-high-moon-dinobots-transformers-cybertron-activision he convinced Hasbro to not scrap the Grimlock so he could include him in the upcoming ''Fall of Cybertron''].
* Josh Nizzi produced a [[Transformers (film)|movie-inspired]] design for the Constructicon Dump Truck Long Haul. He was not only brought on to Hasbro, but Long Haul was the first new design for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline and he went on to design several more for the movie.
* [http://www.bwtf.com/ Benson Yee], a [[Big Name Fan]] in the community, was approached on usenet by the ''[[Beast Wars]]'' writers for his expertise in ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]''. He received a consultant credit for key mythology-heavy episodes, and was shot by ''Beast Wars'' Megatron at a convention.
Line 96:
* Renn Kiriyama, the lead actor in ''[[Kamen Rider Double]]'', is like his predecessors a huge ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' fan. Specifically, he's a fan of ''[[Kamen Rider Black|Black]]'', {{spoiler|which might explain why Kamen Rider Joker, his character's solo Rider form, performs poses and finishing moves just like Black.}}
* Keisuke Kato was also this, he is a big Kamen Rider fan and landed the role of Kamen Rider IXA in [[Kamen Rider Kiva]] as [[The Danza|Keisuke Nago]].
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Many, possibly the majority, of well-known mangaka got their start writing doujinshi; typically starting with fan-fic before moving on to original work. Notable examples below.
* CLAMP, creators of ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', ''Chobits'', and many other successful manga, started out as a doujinshi circle back in the 80's.
* [[Azuma Koyohiko]], creator of ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' and ''[[
* Eiichiro Oda, author of ''[[One Piece]]'', was a massive ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' fan; heck, he loved all of [[Akira Toriyama]]'s works, and that's what inspired him to become a manga artist. Eventually, he ended up working at Shonen Jump, the same magazine that ''Dragon Ball'' was published in, and even collaborated with Toriyama on a ''DBZ/One Piece'' crossover manga.
* Shiori Teshirogi, the author who writes the ''[[Saint Seiya]]: The Lost Canvas'' manga, is actually a [[Shoujo]] author who once met Kurumada. ''Saint Seiya'' was always her favorite series and she jumped at the chance of making a new story when Kurumada pitched the idea to her, and what was originally thought to end up being a rather brief series has exploded in popularity. To put it simply, she is writing a non-canon doujin, getting ''paid'' for it, ''and'' getting an OVA deal for it. Not bad for someone's first [[Shonen]] story.
Line 168 ⟶ 167:
* Noomi Rapace is an admitted fan of the films of Ridley Scott and credited him as an inspiration for her acting career. She would then get the lead role in his film ''Prometheus''.
* AJ LoCascio has been a huge fan of the ''[[Back to The Future]]'' films from when he was a kid. He now gets to voice Marty McFly in the Telltale games—and has also gotten to meet Bob Gale, Christopher Lloyd, and even Claudia Wells. He has yet to make contact with [[Michael J. Fox]], though.
* [[Evanna Lynch]] grew up as one of the biggest fans of the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series, even going so far as to name her cats after characters in the books. When she was selected to play Luna Lovegood in
* In November 2013, [[J.J. Abrams]] and Kathleen Kennedy [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/11/21/r2d2_star_wars_movie_british_builders/ selected two British robot-building fans of ''Star Wars''] to be on the official construction crew creating the R2-D2s to be used in the [[Star Wars|final ''Star Wars'' trilogy]].
Line 204 ⟶ 203:
* [[Demi Lovato]] guest-starred on ''[[Grey's Anatomy]]'', her favorite show.
** [[Taylor Swift]], another big fan of ''Grey's'', had her song "White Horse" featured in one of the episodes.
* Junya Ikeda, who portrays Gai Ikari/GokaiSilver in ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20190928101100/http://

* Rich Koz, the current [[Svengoolie]], who applied for a writing position and became the show's star in both [[The Revival|revivals]] when the original Svengoolie, Jerry G. Bishop, decided he didn't want the job back and gave Koz his blessing.
