Here's here most earliest known posing photo (shortly before she started her professional modeling career), taken when she was late 14 or early 15 (notice that she was playing basketball at the time, this is taken from a school gym stadium. Just as "the rookie" film with Rebecca):

>Mikami didn’t rip stuff off
He personally probably didn't. Crapcon did, however. Hundreds of proven cases within decades.
Remember 'em stolen textures and art, which they've been doing since as far back as REmake?

>Dude scouted hot dog joints as creative prep
He literally stopped at that place initially just to eat, lmfao. You're overthinking it.

She was SUPER-hot back in the days, anon. Literal top billed singer, actress, and super-model. EVERYONE was oozing and drooling for her, men and women alike. Uchida Yuki was (and still is) SUPER-famous in the 80's and 90's. And Japs in general as a nation are always extremely heavy into that tomboy shit. Rin from Tenchu Kurenai/Fatal Shadows was also directly modeled and designed after Uchida. A whole fuckton of mango, onemoo, and other vidya gaem characters. Entire country WANTED her and was absolutely unapologetic about it.

In 90's in particular Yuki Uchida was on the same level of popularity and notoriety/fame as Olsen Twins, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, and Sarah Michelle Gellar in their prime, all combined altogether. She was THE STAR in eastern Asia at the time. Top dog.
