Jojos Bizarre adventure is one of IGAs favourite manga, and several references to it are put in both Castlevania and Bloodstained. Could the vampire Dio be an influence?
In general David Bowie is an icon as well. His looks from the 80s could be an influence on japanese fantasy at the time, like Final Fantasy 4 (Kain and Cecil) and Ys (Dark Fact) .
See also Griffith from Berserk, extremely popular Manga started in the 80s that you've no doubt heard about.
