Galaco's design reminds me of 高飛車(takabisha) characters in Japanese comics for girls in late '80s.

Though it is difficult to explain what takabisha means, I'll try. According to a dictionary, takabisha means "haughty" or "high-handed". Takabisha girl is something like tsundere, where 'tsun' is replaced by haughty behavior. You understand? :-)

Takabisha is often written as "takabii(高ビー)". The best-known takabii girl is definitely 白鳥 麗子(Shiratori Reiko, surname first) in the comic "白鳥麗子でございます！(Shiratori Reiko de Gozaimasu! )" by Suzuki Yumiko. You can see her at amazon or here. You can find some similarity between galaco and Reiko, I think. Long hair, large eyes, long thin legs, haughty look...

I feel that the crown on galaco's head strongly suggests that she is a takabii girl. :-) I guess KEI drew her eyes large to make her look like a girl in an old Japanese comic for girls.  Generally speaking, girls in such comics have very large eyes.
