'Daimos' aired in Japan from 1978 to 1979. Meanwhile, 'The Joy of Painting' didn't make its way to Japan until the 1990s. Bob Ross himself didn't even retire from the military until 1981. Any resemblance Kyoshiro Yuzuki bears to Bob Ross could only be coincidental, and shouldn't count as a "reference".

* ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'': Kyoshiro Yuzuki's signature look of a bouffant afro, rose-tinted glasses, a katana, and a trench-coat heavily resembles Creator/BobRoss. Not to mention, Bob Ross was in the air force, and Kyoshiro flies a CoolPlane.

* DrillSergeantNasty: His Series/TheJoyOfPainting persona was developed as an aversion to his previous military persona. He had said that he loathed yelling at trainees, and so once out of the Air Force vowed that he would never take a job where he would have to raise his voice ever again.

Ross studied painting under German painter Bill Alexander, and subsequently started the show Series/TheJoyOfPainting in 1983, describing his methods to the viewer as he created his paintings in real time. His permed hair, soft voice, and happy little trees defined a generation of prospective artists and brought hope that even beginners could produce beautiful landscapes.

[[redirect:Series/TheJoyOfPainting]]Robert Norman Ross (October 29, 1942 – July 4, 1995) was an American painter, art instructor, and television host best known for his show ''Series/TheJoyOfPainting'', where his soft voice and relaxed approach to creating his art pieces introduced viewers to an ASMR experience before ASMR was even a thing.

Ross was born in Daytona, Florida, and spent his adolescence caring for injured wild animals before joining the United States Air Force at age 18. While his formative years inspired not only his interest in painting and the contents of his iconic landscapes, as well as his quick painting technique, his experience being The Mean Guy (having attained the ranks of Master Sergeant and First Sergeant) in the Air Force led him to adopt a far more mellow personality after he retired from the military in 1981 (See ASMR comment, above).

Ross studied painting under German painter Bill Alexander, and subsequently started the show Series/TheJoyOfPainting in 1983, describing his methods to the viewer as he created his paintings in real time. His permed hair, soft voice, and happy little trees defined a generation of prospective artists and brought hope that even beginners could produce beautiful landscapes.

He died at the age of 52 on July 4, 1995, due to complications from lymphoma. He created an estimated 30,000 paintings over his lifetime, most of which he donated to charity.
