The grandpa from Midsommar is the reason we have bishounen in manga and anime

This is Bjorn Andresen, an actor who became famous around the world, especially in Japan, for his beauty.

His appearance inspired a lot of the classic pretty-boy manga characters, including characters like Oskar from the Rose of Versailles, and Griffith from Berserk. He was an idol in Japan for a long time. This is him in Midsommar;

if you want to know more about his experience during that time in his life, especially while filming Death in Venice, watch the documentary The Most Beautiful Boy In The World

In 1984, Osamu Tezuka designed a rabbit mascot character for Itoham Foods and their line of yogurt snacks called Biogur. The rabbit, named Bio-chan, appeared in several ad campaigns used to promote the new product. She's seen here in a commercial from 1985 with actor Sean Connery, who is best known for playing James Bond. Unfortunately, Biogur isn't made anymore, and Bio-chan isn't being used by the company at the moment.
