Lots. But a fair number of times, it's Japanese celebrities.
I believe Obama was in... Air Gear? Pretty sure the Beatles have been in multiple anime. Bruce Willis was in Hellsing... the more open to parody you are, the more you'll see, I'd wager.

One Piece has a lot of homages to western celebrities. The number one homage celebrity in One Piece is Michael Jackson. MJ had quite a few episodes in which there were DIFFERENT anime characters used to pay homage.

Former UFC Champion and WWE regular Brock Lesnar was the inspiration for the bulky "Armored Titan,"

I think the best was when Time Bokan 24 did it because it put him in the White House the same exact week the elections happened. It hadn't even been five days.

He looks a little quality there, so that makes sense.

They put Obama in Air Gear. It was also at that point that the series went in to a full nosedive to shitsville and crashed with no survivors.

Christian Barnes

Leo Lee
The best character from D-Frag, and he gets used a lot as well. Not to mention it's a multi-layered cameo as well.
Tyler Bailey
Yes, Obama was in air gear.
And in To aru majutsu no index, although as just a cameo.
Why did Japanese people want to put Obama's mind into the body of cute girls?
Christian Thompson
>Using his power to summon demons to do your bidding to revive Michael Jackson just to fuck around during summer vacation
Peak Samon was so fucking good, my god.
Luis Ramirez
Not revive, just have the spirit over, I know, but still.
When it was just about the scum duo screwing over people with the power of hell, that manga was just amazing.
And I loved how Kuzuryuu and Samon were actual, real friends with a fairly well-written friendship for a manga. Like, a lot of the time, they decided on their scams while they were just hanging out, having a good time. Despite it beginning because Kuzu is trash and Samon wanted to see him suffer, they developed a surprisingly wholesome friendship, which only made it funnier that they were such little shits.

This might be one of the few times a muscian mentioned in JJBA acknowledges their reference.

Charles Adams

a little more darker and square than his actual face, that and Obama actually has pretty thin lips.
William Clark
Supposedly Prince was completely fine with/fond of Part 5 but due to some rights-related issues at the time, his attorneys basically did not let the PS2 game get an international release.
Alexander Martinez
I wouldn't be surprised if Bowie knew about his references too.
Henry Murphy
Western media being referenced in anime always cracks me up.
Sabagebu was a goldmine.

Isnt actually kenshiro older than mad max? I think mand max 2 was around 1980 and the Hokuto no Ken manga was around mid 70s
Colton Evans
Doke doke dokee~!
Sebastian Gonzalez
Fist of the North Star manga was early 80's, the first Mad Max was late 70's I believe.
Liam Howard
Kenshiro came after Mad Max 1 and 2 but before thunderdome
Levi Adams
I have seen the Mad Max movies, I as far as I remember the first one is not post apocalyptic and it has the generic 80s style. The second one took a drastic turn and choose the post apocalyptic scenery as its main theme. Theres also another movie that is called The boy and the dog. It was released late 70s and Mad Max 2 had lots of similarities from that movie
Samuel King
Easton Davis
So whos, referencing who?
Julian Hill
You coulsnt be any farther from the truth user...
Jeremiah Powell
Fist takes inspiration from Mad max 2 which came out 2 or 3 years before i think.
Justin Hughes
some of these are a stretch
Gabriel Miller
en.wikipedia.org
>Mad Max is a 1979 Australian dystopian action film directed by George Miller, produced by Byron Kennedy, and starring Mel Gibson as "Mad" Max Rockatansky
en.wikipedia.org
>Fist of the North Star (Japanese: 北斗の拳 Hepburn: Hokuto no Ken, lit. "Fist of the Big Dipper")[a] is a Japanese manga series written by Buronson and illustrated by Tetsuo Hara. Serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1983 to 1988
Anyway, to keep this post on-topic, another big inspiration for Kenshiro was Sly Stallone.
Daniel Wright
>one of the most well-known US Americans in the world
Dude was THE most famous person of the modern age, second (arguably) only to Jesus
Any one with a pair of eyes can see Jackson changing trough the years
Wyatt Robinson
You could make and entire thread of Japanese Bruce Lee clones
>Rock Lee
>Marshal Law
>Early Kenshiro
>SF 4 has one
>Hell most fighting games have one at some point
Christopher Price
the first Mad Max is set while the world is declining into the post-apocalyptic setting of the sequels. It's still mostly recognizable ass "our" world, but things are noticeably worse for most people
Zachary Hill
>still no hotshotgg
Come on guys
Kevin Green
Has Donny shown up yet, because I find it hard to believe he wouldn't find a way to piss off Yujiro
>Invites him over to talk buisness
>Both have to be the biggest dick in the room so tension right off the bat
>Somehow Yujiro dosen't pulp Trump and leaves peacefully
>Trump immediately starts talking shit over twitter the moment Yujiro leaves the room
>Yujiro dosen't kill him because it'd be two much trouble in the end
>Starts shitposting back
>Baki finds out his father's only weakness is twitter flame wars
>Series becomes "Baki the Shitposter"
Levi Russell
>Western shit
Brandon Torres
He did. Upon first entering the oval office, Obama's pretty chill by this point since he's dealt with Yujiro for years (and is now finally free) and warns Trump about him, and obviously Trump thinks it's not a big deal and decides later he will be the one to finally stop the nonaggression deals. He then damn near shits himself upon meeting Yujiro and compares it to seeing WMDs in person before going forward with swearing the oath. A similar event happens with Hillary in another chapter.
Christian Rodriguez
And in the volume extras, his son, Harrison Ford.
Still waiting impatiently for new chapters.
