Stan Lee - The man who created Spider-Man, who was, and always will be, an inspiration through my life here on forward, from childhood, before I even knew what a mecha was, there was always Spidey. And when things got tough for Spidey? What did he do? Did he give up? Nope, good ole' Parker kept his head held high, even if the day utterly sucked, and walked on, and by God if it wasn't for him, and Stan Lee for creating him, I wouldn't be here where I am right now. Shotaro Ishimori - Awesome guy, AWESOME GUY. Creator of some of my favorite anime and live action heroes, including Kikaider, Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, and moving on to manga, Cyborg Soldier 009, among others. Whoever said classics never went out of style weren't kidding. Too bad he's dead (From what I've heard) ..we'll have to arrange a meeting..IN THE AFTERLIFE! Hironobu Kageyama - Hell yea! This man rocks! And he rocks for making JAM! And he rocks for making Cha La, Head Cha La stick in my head for a good ten years after originally hearing it! DON'T DIE ON ME BEFORE I SEE YOU IN CONCERT!
