I know I've said this before on many places (here, YouTube and Capcom Unity). I just figured I would put everything I looked into on one whole page.

I have copy-pasted this before, but if you haven't seen it:
"Here are some neat little coincidences I've found concerning T.Hawk and Juli. There really was a Thunder Hawk who had a wife named Julia at one point in history. There's a German school in Mexico (the largest one outside of Germany)! I've read that Germans do deeply admire Native Americans largely thanks to the works of Karl May. Did anybody else know about this? Maybe some of this stuff influenced Capcom Japan when they were trying to figure out what to do with Juli story-wise for SFA3. Hmm..."

From the numerous articles I've looked at, Germany are VERY interested in Native American culture!
Here are some links to this:

walrusmagazine.com/articles/20…
www.huffingtonpost.com/jay-tav…
www.goethe.de/ges/mol/typ/en47…

Then there's the whole thing about a woman who is NOT native living in a Native American village or a potential love interest for a Native American! This has been around in history, books (like romance novels), movies, and TV Shows for a LONG time! Just check out some movies/TV Shows: Stolen Women Captured Hearts, Children of the Dust, Cheyenne Warrior, Last of the Mohicans, Dances with Wolves and Into the West.

Juli is a German who also happens to live in a Native American-like tribe in Mexico! She's dating T.Hawk too!

Heck, you can even explain why Juli was around a lot of forest imagery (and nature for that matter):

I've read numerous articles on Germany having a love for nature. Coincidentally, there is also T.Hawk's (Native American Mexican/Mexican Indian) love for nature too!

I know this stuff can be stereotypical but then...look at T.Hawk himself. Look at Dee Jay. Look at Street Fighter in general! LOL. 

I bet you can even get away with calling T.Hawk x Juli(a) an interracial coupling. Street Fighter doesn't normally have that kind of thing, except maybe Ken/Eliza.

None of this very surprising when you start to research a Germany-Native American connection. It's not shocking. I would NOT be surprised if Capcom Japan ever looked into this back in the day. When you look at everything, there are DEFINITELY some coincidences!

Oh yeah, I also looked into Gregg Rainwater, the guy who played T.Hawk in the Van Damme movie. I found out he played a character called David "Little Eagle" Jackson in an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger. In the Udon comics, Noembelu is called Little Eagle. Hmmm, I wonder if Udon knew anything about that.

Oh my god, it solved my big mystery for long time!!  I always wondered why T.Hawk had a girl-friend who seems like to be German.  Since my most favorite guy character is T.Hawk, and Juli for lady character, there has been no problem at all to see those two together, but always wondered "WHY?" and "HOW?"

I can tell the CAPCOM stuff now in Japan don't even now about this (which makes them don't tell about their relationship), so it was really, REALLY glad to read this journal!!  THANK YOU!!
