he's a BLATANTLY OBVIOUS tetsuo
of course, using the same VA is open acknowledgement that he is a "tribute" character more than anything else
hey, while we're on the topic, let's list video game characters that were based (or we think are based) on anime characters, or vice versa
Cowboy Bebop's Vicious - Last Blade 2's Setsuna
white hair, crazy attitude, sword-wielding, BIRRDDD
Rurouni Kenshin - Guilty Gear X's Baiken
the only likeness i can see is the hair, the whole "wanderer" thing, and the voice (well, Kenshin's Japanese seiyuu. when someone mentioned a while ago that their voices were similar, i thought they were insane. that was before ..)
that's all i can think for now .. oh, and don't get me wrong. i freakin' love Setsuna and Baiken. (Setsuna's my favorite Last Blade character and Baiken's my favorite Guilty Gear character. go fig) i'm just pointing out their likeness to anime characters that preceded them. oh ya, and Bridget looks a lot like a female anime character as well, eh? i forgot the character's name, as well as the name as the anime ...

I love doing this!  Okay, here goes. Argue, dispute, correct all you want:
Earthquake - Heart, Fist of the North Star
Heidern - Colonel, FNS
Zeus - Souther, FNS (maybe Geese Howard as well, come to think of it)
Birdie - Zeed, FNS
Mary Ryan - Android #18, Dragonball Z (initially; not so much now)
Makoto - Akane Tendo, Ranma 1/2
Benimaru Nikaido - JP Polnareef, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Funny looking kid in Ibuki's SF3 background - Krillin-Kuilin, Dragonball Z
Also:
Janne - I've seen at least one dead ringer for her on a Galaxy Fraulein Yuna cover (although a lot younger and cuter). I know there are others.
Rugal Bernstein - Someone a long time ago mentioned a charcter from Sol Bianca who looked like him. It's been too long; I have no idea.
Remy - Common "bish" archtype.
K - Unnatural hair color is supposedly a manifestation of power; dark skin is a manifestation of evil. Or sluttiness. Whichever. (Is any of that Peach Girl junk for real?)
Yuri Sakazaki - The Loud Annoying Tomboyish Female Who's Never As Good As The Guys And Just Never Gets It...all but ruined her as a character. 
Amakusa - Androgynous weirdness ho!
Most of the Samurai Shodown gang has been "animefied". Ninja Masters is completely anime-style.
More:
There are a lot of characters based on real-life people, and what's amazing is that some get used over and over and over. The ones I know of - Bruce Lee, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Mike Tyson, and Jacky Chan. Also World Heroes' and Fighter's History's Ryokos are both based on the same person...one of the best Olympic judo hopes from Japan in years, in '88. She won bronze, BTW.
And is it just me, but does the new Kula Diamond design look exactly like...uh...well, see for yourself (http://www.konamistudio.com/pm6/character.html) If you're an elite genetically-enhanced assassin, somehow I don't think that this is the kind of image you want to portray.
