Madotsuki is the player character in a game called Yume nikki (dream journal). There eyes are closed the entire game, as they spend most of it asleep. They are also a young child. Yume nikki predates undertale, and also has a character known as Uboa, which shares striking resemblance to undertale's gaster. Near the end of Toby's earthbound halloween hack, dr. andounuts is represented by a corrupted sprite of Uboa, proving that toby has/had at least some interest in yume nikki.

Another notable video game character that has closed eyes is the batter from OFF, but the resemblance is not as striking. Plus, OFF is a topic for another post.

So what do you people think? Is frisk's sprite design influenced by yume nikki in some way?
