Were there any characters named "Earp" or "Wyatt", or were there any
characters from a military background who were town sheriffs?

Are there any references to the OK Corral or Wyatt Earp in Trigun?


To answer this quite bluntly, No. There are no references to OK Corral or
Wyatt Earp nor any town sheriffs that had their background even briefly
revealed. But there are some things that might be indirectly related or
referenced to these. I'll explain.

While there are no solid references in the anime to these, there are some what
after images or familiar presences to them.

Yasuhiro Nightow, the creator of Trigun series and manga, was in-fact inspired
by western films genre. He created the character Vash in a similar way to
those he idolized in these films. More specifically a "Gunfighter". Now when
someone says Gunfighter to you, there are a few key names that pop into your
mind like; Billy the Kid, Pat Garrett and of course Wyatt Earp. Whether these
people had any direct influence on this anime is something that is unknown.
Only way to know would to ask YN himself.

Also during this time there were other anime and manga taking the same
approach. Such as Kino's Journey or Cowboy Bebop.

So basically the answer is "No" but watching Trigun may send vibes from some
of the characters or locations or pretty much anything that may relates to the
old west.

(These answers were based off personal knowledge and having watched and loved
the Trigun series, so much that I just watched it again like 3 days ago.)
