Great article Kami please do more! Also, I did a little poking around and I found that Roses appearance throughout that manga bears a strong resemblance to Steven Tyler (especially in his younger days). The hair and the frilled cloths are very distinctive of him, so if Kubo took some inspiration from him I would not be surprised. Also, I believe Rose's mask is supposed to be a Road Runner, which is a reference to Road Runner by Bo Diddley, which is later covered by Aerosmith.
