Which real life character is Yuna based on?

I was on Youtube and came across this:

YouTube - 瀧澤秀明 Hideaki Takizawa : Final Fantasy 10 TVCM 2

YouTube - 瀧澤秀明 Hideaki Takizawa : Final Fantasy 10 TVCM 1

This guy really looks like Tidus. Got me wondering who Yuna was based on. Anyone?

I'm thinking Yuna in FFX (not X-2) looks a lot like Hitomi Yoshizawa:

As far as I know she's not based on anyone *checks wikipedia*

Nope, not based on anyone.

"real life characters" now that's an oxymoron... i can't think of any real life characters that she may be based on, can't think of any people either, lol, prolly just the character designers preferance at the time...

I remember hearing interviews with designers and developers about why Tidus and Yuna have an Asian appearance in the full motion videos. Their manner of addressing the issue leads me to suspect that the characters are not based on any person in particular; however, keep in mind that the developers may incorporate certain aspects of the seiyū to enhance the experience of the player.

In FFXII they had a French model for Ashe and then "asian'd" her up. In the Making of Silent Hill 3 video, the designer talks about flipping through fashion magazines and basing a lot of his designs on models he found. I figured they probably did the same with X, but it's not like I know that or anything.
