<p>I'm not sure about the one for Midori, but it might be the guy behind her in the red armour.</p>

Hmm I don't believe Midori's is the guy behind the woman. The facial hair matches neither in color nor shape.

<p>In the intro to Shirobako, the girls are shown flying in fighter jets. Each of them has a design under the cockpit - presumably related to the characters.</p>

<p>I can't figure them all out though.</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/nFrvzm.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

<p>This is the easiest one, the two toys are delusions of Aoi's that she interacts with often during the show.</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/ikKQvm.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

<p>Shizuka's plane has the  pig with a plum-shaped nose. This was the character that she got to play in costume during one of the episodes.</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/53qoYm.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

<p>Misa's plane has a depiction of a penguin - from the show that inspired her to join the company she was making tires for.</p>

<p>However, I don't know what the final two are referring to.</p>

<p>Did I miss something obvious? Any ideas how these pictures / characters are related to the cast?</p>

[This blog post](http://metanorn.net/2015/03/shirobako-20) suggests that the final character might be **[Fyodor Dostoevsky](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fyodor_Dostoyevsky)**, a famous Russian author, journalist and philosopher.

![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/Fyodor_Mikhailovich_Dostoyevsky_1876.jpg/170px-Fyodor_Mikhailovich_Dostoyevsky_1876.jpg)

We see that Midori is a big fan of Dostoevsky's in the anime occasionally, including dropping the title of arguably his most famous book [*Crime & Punishment*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_and_Punishment).

Dostoevsky's influence is one of the reasons why Midori wanted to be a writer in the first place.
