>not a shoujo reader myself so i don't know exactly what the artistic lineage is, but yeah in his youth he looked like a bishounen jumped out of the page.

Basically shoujo mangaka from the year 24 group fell in love with him* and starting using him as a model.
Ikeda (roses of versailles) and Moto Hagio (a bunch of historically important yaoi works) are the two biggest names, and from their works the bishounen evolved through the years. These days the bishounen doesn't look like him anymore though.


*ok this is an exaggeration. Basically that whole group had a huge fixation on historical europe, a lot of their works were based in the western world, so they took inspiration in looks from men from here.
Andresen is the one that stuck the most because Ikeda and Hagio really just copied his looks.
