Ah, you're referring to Subaru, one of the Byakko Seven, who had the ability to restore a person's physical body to the state it was at during any point within their lifetime - though at a cost.

Subaru, of the Byakko Seven
There's a resemblence, I guess - particularly in the bust line. ;D
A much better match, in my opinion, is Hyatt, from Excel Saga:

Hyatt, of ACROSS
For a while after I first saw her, but had not yet managed to memorize her name, I referred to her as "That Ifurita-lookin' girl".
Even better than Hyatt, though, is Sylia Stingray, from Bubblegum Crisis 2040. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of her of my own to share. Here's the best I could find on short notice, from someone's BGC2040 site:

Sylia, of the Knight Sabers
Ironically, in the original BGC series, there was a strong implication that Sylia was actually an android. :)
Anyone have any other Ifurita-look-alikes to share?

Heh. As I recall, that was that day I was with you at Wilson's place in Edina. A friend of mine who had recently completed two semesters of study in Tokyo said "hey, you guys thought Dragon Half was over the top, you've GOT to see this!" and popped in the fan-sub. And we experienced the lunacy that is Excel Saga. I laughed so damn hard I tried to narf pizza out my nose. I wouldn't suggest recommend one attempt to eat and watch Excel Saga at the same time.
But yes, the resemblance to Ifurita was uncanny. She was even found in a sarcophagus looking thingy. One wouldn't think that one could laugh at someone afflicted with tuberculosis, but somehow Hyatt's creators managed just that. I suppose it's ironic how Hyatt so resembles Ifurita, though Ifurita appears to have the constitution of a pack mule.
Fans of Evangelion might even suggest Hyatt bears a strong resemblance to Maj. Katsuragi, though the similarities end there given Misato's wild and crazy personality.

Anyone else think KOS-MOS from Xenosaga bears a striking resemblance to Ifurita? Not only in looks, mind you, but in stories as well. Like Iffy, KOS-MOS was an ultimate weapon, though her creation was more in the aims of preserving human life than destroying it. Both are stern, serious-types who follow orders and don't question their superiors. The two are also increadibly powerful, as Iffy can wipe out whole cities while KOS-MOS is capable of destroying an entire Gnosis fleet within seconds.
Her voice is also done by Ruby Marlowe, who was Fatora's VA. Pretty unsettling as in the game it's hinted that KOS-MOS and her creator are going to get involved in a lesbian relationship... :-/

Here's another one. This time from Scrapped Princess episode 18...

Winnia in an Ifurita wig! Sure, it's black ( |D =,]). But the bangs and waviness are exactly like Ifurita's hair. Shocking coincidence or minor tribute?
And speaking of Scrapped Princess, for those of you following the series, doesn't Shizu remind you of Ifurita? She's a weapon of incredible power, seemingly without feelings or emotions. Yet, the more she follows him around town, the more human she seems to become. Is her Sim counterpart really gone, after all? ^_^
