a lot of anime does this... the basic message in these types of shows is to aim really high and work hard to get that lofty goal.......... hokage, pirate king, shaman king, the greatest tennis/basketball/chef/fighter/swordsman/janitor ever, etc...
but I wouldn't take it as far by saying that I look up to Luffy...... afterall, he's just a bunch of animated lines with color...
