Any historical character right?

Well, I've got three!

Walt Disney -- for making cartoons cartoons and leaving the world some of the most precious classic cartoons there is. Did I mention cartoons? Thanks to him many a childhood memory are cherished by many a person worldwide. Precioussss.

This choice is motivated mainly by my speculation that his cartoons probably helped prevent the creation of many a "conventional" megalomaniac historical "heroes!"

John Lennon -- for sheer hippie awesomeness. Make love not war baby! (And get rich while at it). A Brit who's probably the best American ever. His historical importance is as the representation of the late 60's - 70's spirit, an age where America changed for the better.

Osamu Tezuka -- God, literally, of Manga. The first and the best and unbested. People remember his more childish works and his "kiddie" art style but the truth is that he is an extraordinary artist whose mastery of the art form he created is simply complete; some of his more philosophical works, Buddha, or Phoenix, for example, are incredibly moving all-encompassing works and you're left wondering how the tears from that Astroboy-ish face can move you so. I choose this guy just because. Or you can guess the reason.
