Foreign characters may pop up in fiction, but often regular characters who are not native (to the country the work is set in) tend to have native ethnicity somewhere in their family. Or possibly were born in the native country, but raised in another country, and have recently come back.
There are four variations of this trope:
Half native to the author's ancestry, half foreign ancestry (the most common version).
Mixed ancestry of different races that may not be related to the author.
Born in one country, raised in another.
Ethnically one nationality, culturally a different one.
Part of this probably stems from the actual ethnic homogeneity of a country, especially in Japan where foreigners really do make up only about two percent of the population. Their name will also have an obvious foreign sound to it even if it doesn't sound real. Assuming this character was raised overseas, it's notable the character who is Not Too Foreign will rarely speak another language on-screen even if they are supposed to be fluent. This is often an artifact of a manga-to-anime transition: a text translation can be passable, while voice actors end up totally mangling it. How much an actor is allowed to speak tends to reflect more on their personal fluency. This in itself does often lead to Mukokuseki within anime and manga works and Ambiguously Brown at the opposite end of this trope.
Frequently, this trope is used as an excuse to give a character an unusual phenotype, especially in anime/manga which try to avoid the use of Anime Hair. In reality, however, it is unlikely for a person who is, say, half-German, half-Japanese to have blue/green eyes or blond/red hair, given that the alleles for those traits are recessive.
In anime and manga, the non-Japanese ethnicity is often either German, "American" (usually white. If, and that's a very rare if, they're black, they will probably come from the US), British, or French (relying on people to think "He's British? Must be sophisticated and smart." or "He's French? How romantic!") The occasional Russian, either ex-military, mafia, or often both, will also pop up.
But Not Too Foreign often pops up as the result of creative types trying to appeal to the people of their homeland with the sense that they possess a connection to their culture despite being partly foreign, and are thus perfectly okay to empathize with. See also Non-Specifically Foreign.
Compare But Not Too Black and Mixed Ancestry is Attractive — this trope greatly contributes to the latter, as mixed ancestry can give a character more unique features while not being totally alien to the target audience.
Some examples can be non-native, due to the thousands of races in the world, and we don't just marry people of the same race anymore, making this trope Truth in Television for the most part. May also overlap into Twofer Token Minority. Overlaps with Plays Great Ethnics in Real Life.

The main plot of Crazy Rich Asians revolves around a Chinese-American who moves to Singapore to be with her Singaporean boyfriend. She is fully of Chinese descent, but she was born and raised in the United States, and experiences mighty culture shock in Singapore, to the point that some characters don't even consider her a Chinese.

Yuri Volte Hyuga, the hero of the first two Shadow Hearts games, is the son of a Japanese army officer and a Russian émigré (Okay, actually German, but that's a long story). In the English translation, he he has a Russian name (in the original, he's "Urmnaf Bort Hyuga," which is just Foreign-Sounding Gibberish). Note that "Yuri" is not a multiracial name for a man, as it's only used as a female name in Japan.

In each of the Digimon anime, there is a token case of But Not Too Foreign.
Yamato and Takeru (Matt and T.K. in the dub) from Adventure and 02 are at least a quarter French. This is known because one episode in the World Tour arc features their French grandfather, Michel. Since Digimon: The Movie shows Yamato and Takeru visiting their grandmother in Shimane, fans have decided that it is their paternal grandmother who lives in Shimane, and their maternal grandfather in France.
Recent material confirms the fandom's suspicion that Michel is the boys' maternal grandfather; in a recent CD drama, Yamato and Takeru are accompanied by their father on another trip to Shimane.
In Tamers, Lee Jianliang and Xiaochang (Henry and Suzie Wong) and their two older siblings are half-Chinese through their father (changed that to half-Taiwanese in the German dub). Jianliang's Digimon partner, Terriermon, even speaks Cantonese.
Orimoto Izumi (Zoe) of Frontier, was born in Japan, but spent most of her formative years in Italy and often uses Italian expressions in her speech. This actually plays into her character development, as it has resulted in her being much more individualistic and independent than her peers. (In the Italian dub, they changed it so Izumi lived in the United States instead, leading her to use a lot of Gratuitous English.)
Tohma (Thomas) H. Norstein from Savers/Data Squad is the son of a Japanese woman and an Austrian aristocrat. Implied to have been born out of wedlock, he was outright rejected by his paternal grandmother after his mother's death, and his father couldn't bring himself to oppose her. This lead to a serious rift between them.
Xros Wars/Fusion is the first not to have a part-foreigner in the main cast, though a couple of the aforementioned ones show up at the end, notably Matt.
In Appmon, Astora has a British mother.

Tish Williams from Deborah Goldsmith's Ranma ½ fanfic Notes from Julliard is a tall African-American girl who spent her formative years in Japan and as a result doesn't fit in anywhere. She calls herself a "Tuna Roll" — i.e. Black on the outside, Japanese on the inside. It doesn't help that both forms of her name ("Tish" is short for "Leticia") are barely pronounceable tongue twisters for her Japanese friends.

Not only is Maya Witherspoon, the Snow White analog in The Serpent's Shadow, a (female) doctor and open suffragette in Edwardian London, but her mother was a "Native" her wellborn army physician father openly married when stationed in India. Of course her late mother's Evil Twin (and to a less homicidal degree Indian society in general) was rather ticked over a pure-blooded Brahmin giving birth to a polluted half-English child.
Miscegenation was somewhat less inflammatory in India that it was in Britain itself, especially because "half-caste" children tended to see themselves as white anyway.

Played straight in K with Andy Doumyouji (half-French according to Word of God), but averted with Adolf K. Weismann, when he returns to his 100% German body after a long time in the body of a cute Japanese teenager, the only form his friends know him in. Eric Surt is likewise an aversion.

Inside Job (2021):
Reagan is Japanese-American, but you wouldn't be able to tell if her mother Tamiko wasn't a character on the show. In-universe, she's apparently white-passing (or at least enough for the stuck-in-the-80s residents of Still Valley to not speak to her with anti-Asian microaggressions like they do the fully Korean Andre). Justified since her father Rand mentions that he tampered with her genetics to make sure his genes were dominant.
Lampshaded when discussing Keanu Reevesnote 1/4 Chinese Hawaiian in real life. Gigi describes him as Asian, but not so much that he threatens Middle America.

Sayo Yasuda, also known as Shannon, Kanon and Beatrice from Umineko: When They Cry, who is about three quarters Japanese and one quarter Italian. This is because Kinzo fell in love with an Italian woman, Beatrice Castiglioni, and they later produced a half-Japanese, half-Italian daughter, Beatrice II. Unfortunately Beatrice Castiglioni's Death by Childbirth caused Kinzo to go mad with grief and eventually rape his daughter while deluding himself into thinking she was her mother's reincarnation. Beatrice II became pregnant as a result, later giving birth to the child who would eventually be known as Yasu/Beatrice.

Ah!

Additionally, the goddesses are very culturally Japanese, particularly Yamato Nadeshiko Belldandy, and Skuld looks rather Japanese... despite their being Norse deities.

Rally Vincent of Gunsmith Cats is an unusual case in that she's half English and half East Indian, though whether her father was from Pakistan or India itself was never made clear.

Runa of Modern Villainess is the descendent of an illegitimate branch of the Keikain, who owns a small zaibatzu. She is also, by heritage, three-quarters Russian owing to her mother and paternal grandmother being Russians, and as a result, she doesn't look a bit like an Asian. But as she says, that's the only non-Japanese thing about her.

Cyndi Manabe in Best Student Council is a redhead, glib Huge Schoolgirl who spoke mainly in fragmented English, when she spoke at all. She was apparently discouraged by her American mother who does speak Japanese but, to continue the gag, has extremely bizarre sentence construction.

Lemmy from To Heart is half Japanese and half American. this is expressed by her having blond hair, blue eyes, being a Huge Schoolgirl, having a fairly good sized bust, her use of English (Which is not so bad she usually sticks to one word phrases or simple phrases "Good Morning" or "Fantastic".

Wonder Woman: Yara Flor, one of the Wonder Girls, is a Native-Brazilian hero, daughter of an Amazon from Themyscira with an Amazonian river god. However, her solo title Wonder Girl (Infinite Frontier) reveals she was actually taken away from Brazil as a child to flee an attack of the Greek pantheon and was raised in the United States, only traveling back when she was 21 years old. Since Yara has little recollection of her childhood, this means she doesn't really have much connection to Brazil when she returns to her birth country, even giving her Pegasus the English name "Jerry" rather than any name from Native-Brazilian languages or Portuguese.

Discussed in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. On the set of The Green Hornet, a network executive is shown commenting about Bruce Lee, "He's awfully Oriental...", but producer Bill Krieger assures him nothing is wrong with Bruce, because he's merely "playing Oriental" as Kato. Regardless, the executive asks him if he can stay masked at all times, and it also prevents Bruce from starring in Kung Fu (1972), despite helping develop it with Krieger.

Power Rangers has Tommy, who is "a bit Native American"... maybe. After all his brother was simply adopted and may not himself be Native American.
Operation Overdrive's Pink Ranger, Rose, was shown to be living in London (working as a university lecturer) before she was recruited to the team. Her actress is British (albeit of Filipino descent), so it's probably safe to assume that the character actually is British.

Asuka Langley Soryu in Neon Genesis Evangelion is occasionally drawn in promotional materials as a blonde instead of a redhead. The North American and Mexican dubs pad this out with dialogue that occasionally includes German expletives and exclamations. She's really only quarter Japanese because her mother was half Japanese and half German. Asuka was born and raised in Germany, speaks German as her native language, so she considers herself German and everyone else does too. Of course, in terms of her legal nationality, she's American. Her actual ethnic makeup is 25% Japanese, 25% German, 50% "American"note The only thing we know for sure about her father that could pertain to his ethnic ancestry is that 1) he's from the USA, and 2) he has white skin; while that makes "White American" as the most likely ethnicity for him, he could very well be of some other American ethnic group (or even Multiracial American!) who simply happens to pass for a White American.. Her mother's name was Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu, while Langley is her father's last name.
Rebuild also introduces Mari Illustrious Makinami, part-British and part-Japanese.

In Thieves Like Us, Ty is the daughter of a Haitian man and an American woman. While she looks Haitian and was raised in Haiti, she speaks English fluently and with a perfect American accent. This is because her father loved the sound of her mother speaking English, and, after the mother left, he forced his daughter to learn to speak the same way so he could continue to hear it.

Resident Evil has a few examples:

Every character of a different ethnicity who appears in The Mortal Instruments always turns out to be biracial, (usually half white). Magnus is half-Dutch/half-Indonesian, Aline is half-Chinese/half-white, Maia is half-black/half-white. See a trend here?

Max Mizuhara of Bakuten Shoot Beyblade is the son of a Japanese father and an American mother and in the original version, peppers his speech with the occasional English word. His foreign looks (presumably the blonde hair and blue eyes he inherited from his mother) were apparently visible enough that his teammates mistook him for being completely American when they first met him.

Metal Gear:
Originally, Solid Snake was an American of mixed Japanese-British heritage and later revised to a Caucasian American with some Japanese ancestry in Metal Gear Solid. In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, it is explained that although EVA/Big Mama was Solid Snake's surrogate/birth mother, the egg came from a Japanese woman.
Characters from different countries are almost always half-Japanese or half-American in the Metal Gear series. Revolver Ocelot is half-American/half-Russian, Kazuhira Miller is half-Japanese/half-American, and Naomi Hunter claims to have a Japanese grandfather (though this is revealed to be a lie, and even she's not sure of her real ancestry beyond speculation that there might be some Indian from when Rhodesia was a British colony). Because of his last name, it can be assumed that Johnny Sasaki is also half-Japanese/half-American, though Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater muddies the issue somewhat by featuring his grandfather, also named Johnny, as a Russian prison guard (albeit one who had a son in America before going back to the Union). With the half-American characters, this is clearly a case of But Not Too Foreign so that the characters can be drawn with white features.
EVA is half-American/half-Chinese, although all that's known is she was born in Idaho and then inducted into the Chinese branch of the Philosophers. Unlike the other cases, no mention is made of her parentage.
In a more subtle example, Hal "Otacon" Emmerich is an American with a German-Jewish surname, but he's obsessed with Japanese culture. However, both have British heritage from their mothers’ sides.
Raiden was born in Liberia (and thus technically Liberian, or African-American), but he's clearly of European descent, and he speaks with a flawless American accent.
In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Mistral is half-Algerian/half-French, while Jetstream Sam is Brazilian with Japanese ancestry.

Persona 2 gives us Lisa Silverman, who is ethnically white but culturally Japanese, having been raised there since birth by a pair of incredibly Japanophile parents. According to a guidebook, said parents are naturalized citizens that immigrated from the United States. Her folks do their damnest to blend in (her mother acts like a stereotypical Japanese lady and dropped her birth name for a Japanese one, while her father practices akido and is prickly about his ethnicity), and while Lisa also tries to do the same, her Shadow implies that isn't necessarily what she wants. Her parents' love of the country is so immense that her father, a minister of trade, can speak English, but has never spoken or taught it to his daughter.

Persona 5 deconstructs the trope: Ann Takamaki is ethnically mostly Japanese, as were her parents, but she is subjected to extreme ostracism and Slut-Shaming because of the blonde hair, blue eyes and decidedly "white" facial features she inherited from an American grandparent. Her appearance also attracts the attention of her school's predatory volleyball coach, who uses her best friend's starting position as leverage to force Ann into having sex with him, and then rapes her friend when she refuses.

Yamato and Takeru (Matt and T.K. in the dub) from Adventure and 02 are at least a quarter French. This is known because one episode in the World Tour arc features their French grandfather, Michel. Since Digimon: The Movie shows Yamato and Takeru visiting their grandmother in Shimane, fans have decided that it is their paternal grandmother who lives in Shimane, and their maternal grandfather in France.
Recent material confirms the fandom's suspicion that Michel is the boys' maternal grandfather; in a recent CD drama, Yamato and Takeru are accompanied by their father on another trip to Shimane.

Syaoran from Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- has a Chinese dad and a Japanese mom.
The magician Clow Reed is half English and half Chinese. It was noted that his heritage is what inspired him to combine western and eastern magic.
On the other hand, Clow's reincarnation Eriol Hiiragizawa is presumably half English, half Japanese.
Watanuki is probably also at least half Chinese, considering that he's kinda sorta bizarrely the twin brother/clone/son/something of Syaoran...look, it's complicated, okay? The fact that he bears a striking resemblance to Clow Reed supports this.

Marvel Universe:
Pod/Enigma/Aikku Jokinen of The Avengers is a Norwegian national born to Finnish parents. For an added bonus, she's lesbian.
The Mandarin, one of Iron Man's most implacable foes and an international criminal terrorist, is half-Chinese, half-white.
An Enforced Trope in the case of Shang-Chi, Marvel's resident Bruce Lee Clone. His original creators wanted to make him fully Chinese, but he ended up half-white by editorial mandate. However, this would later be retconned following the reveal of his real mother, who is also Chinese.
Miguel O'Hara, the Spider-Man of 2099, is half-Irish/half-Mexican.
Storm, of the X-Men. The "all-new, all-different" relaunched X-Men were international, patching whatever foreign character had already appeared with some newly introduced characters, and Storm was the token African (Kenyan) with decidedly non-Kenyan features such as white hair and blue eyes. A retcon established that her mother was an east African princess (whose ancestors were white-haired, blue-eyed witches) but her father was African-American, and Storm herself was born in the US. The family moved to Egypt when she was a little girl, and promptly died when a plane hit their house and nearly crushed Storm in rubble, giving her a degree of amnesia and her famous claustrophobia. Interestingly, her creator said that he never really designed Storm to be a true representation of "African," but rather designed her to be more of an international woman in keeping with her status as a vaguely defined goddess of the Earth. The trend for years has been to depict her with African lips and cheekbones, European nose, and East Asian eye shape.

In Dragon Age: Origins, there are only two sympathetic and badass Orlesian characters - Leliana and Riordan. Both are actually from Ferelden, but were raised in Orlais. Everyone actually from Orlais is morally dubious, cowardly, or otherwise causes problems for the player.
Similarly, there's Fiona and Duncan, who we find is a Fereldan in Orlais in the books. The former was an elven slave sold to an Orlesian noble.
Aveline of Dragon Age II, who's also sympathetic and badass, is actually the reverse; she's ethnically Orlesian and raised in Ferelden.

Shu Shirakawa in Super Robot Wars is half Japanese, half La Gias... okay, the latter may not be so much a nation but another world, but most of them are so identical with humans it's like 'just another nation'.
Several other characters are like this. The Braunstein brothers are both 1/4 Japanese. We never hear much about Yuuki Jagger's background, but just from his name you can tell it's probably the case. Sanger Somvold is not ethnically Japanese at all, but seems to be intended to embody the concept of Yamato Damacy anyway (unlike aspiring Kid Samurai Bullet).

Miki Makimura and her little brother Taro (Tare in the original Devilman) are half-white and half-Japanese in DEVILMAN crybaby: their father Noel is white, and possibly Irish on account of the Celtic artwork in their house. Miki has green eyes (inherited from her father) and brown hair, while her brother looks more Japanese. Interestingly, theirs is a case of race lift, as they were fully Japanese in the original Devilman manga and anime adaptations. Having Miki and Taro be biracial siblings with a white father makes it easier for the Japanese audience to understand why the Makimuras are fairly devout Christians in a country where only one or two percent of the population is Christian.

The plot of Kung Fu (1972) centered on a Shaolin monk wandering the Old West. Logically, this would require the lead to be Chinese (and there were many Chinese immigrants in America at the time the show is set). Instead, the writers specified that Caine was only half-Chinese, and cast a white actor to play him. Reportedly, this was changed only because the network didn't feel that America was ready for an Asian lead, which was actually the producers' original intention. Bruce Lee, who had partial European ancestry himself, was supposed to be Caine.

Terry the Kid from Ultimate Muscle is half-American, half-Japanese, but this rarely comes up because this wasn't so that the audience could relate to him — it's just a natural extension of the fact that the American Terryman married the Japanese Natsuko after the original Kinnikuman series. Kinnikuman is actually one of the series that most proudly averts this, with main characters who are 100% British (Robin Mask), German (Brocken, Jr.), American (Terryman), Native American (Geronimo), Chinese (Ramenman), Russian (Warsman), and Spanish (Buffaloman).

Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: Kyoryu Black is named Ian Yorkland and is ambiguously Western, Kyoryu Pink is named Amy Yuzuki and is Japanese-American, and one episode had one of Ian's old girlfriends, Erica Stonesfield, visiting from abroad; all three are played by Japanese actors. However, Kyoryuger is also noteworthy for having the first non-Japanese Sentai Ranger: Sixth Ranger Ramirez, played by Robert Baldwin (who's ethnically Canadian but was born and raised in Japan and speaks fluent Japanese). His fellow Spirit Ranger Tessai is ethnically Chinese but played by a Japanese actor.

Watanuki is probably also at least half Chinese, considering that he's kinda sorta bizarrely the twin brother/clone/son/something of Syaoran...look, it's complicated, okay? The fact that he bears a striking resemblance to Clow Reed supports this.

Trauma Center: in the Japanese version, the main (Derek) storyline is set in Japan. Blue-eyed blonde Angie, from that cast, is part German, though this was just for colour/this trope until Trauma Center 2 made a retcon, specifically that the "sinners" (people who are attuned enough to GUILT to help breed it, which includes Angie) were descendants of Adam, the main villain, and the main branch of Adam's family lives in Germany. Never mind the fact that another sinner in that very game is from Central or South America.

Galadriel 'El' Higgins from The Scholomance is half Marathi on her father's side and so favors him that nobody realizes her blonde British mother Gwen is a blood relation unless told. While her mother took pains to make sure she knew her tragically lost father's native language El was raised entirely in a hippie commune in rural Wales and the one time her mum brought her to visit her paternal family they had to flee in the middle of the night for El's life (Dread Prophesy thing rather than Mixed Race thing, but not conducive to close relationships).

Played straight with Saki from Frivolesque, who is half Japanese, half Canadian. People usually call her a "Japanese girl" even though she isn't culturally Japanese because of her habit of fighting with a Katana or wearing schoolgirl uniforms. Lampshaded by Japanophile Marie-Neige who refuses to acknowledge Saki as such.

Batman: Both Damian Wayne, the fifth Robin, and Cassandra Cain, the second Batgirl, are half white on their father's side and half ambiguously Asiannote Damian's mother Talia is usually depicted as some mix of Arab and Chinese; Cass's mother Lady Shiva is something of a pan-Asian character on their mother's side.
Damian's mother Talia is responsible for his ruthlessness, bad attitude, and association with an international league of assassins, while his father being Batman is what brings him into the Batfamily's fold.
Cass's father is responsible for her training and muteness, but her prodigious skill at martial arts is also attributed to being her mother being the DCU's foremost martial artist.

Rose Guns Days has, rather ironically, the protagonist Rose, who is half-Japanese, half-Greek. Ironic because, by Japanese standards (especially in WWII Japan), she would probably have been considered a foreigner in Real Life.
In the American military, Phillip Butler and Gabriel Kaburaya are both half-American and half-Japanese — the latter actually benefited from it to some extent, as the higher-ups wanted to promote an officer of Japanese descent to create a pretty success story and counter accusations of anti-Japanese racism.

Gundam:
Amuro Ray from Mobile Suit Gundam is arguably one of the most famous examples of this trope in all of anime, although his background rarely comes up in conversation. Mostly because his birth in Japan was only background material, likely enforced to avoid having a complete foreigner as The Hero. The further unmentioned location of his childhood home on Earth still shifts to Prince Rupert, Canada, in the movie compilation. Then shifted again to Rosarito, Mexico and specifically mentioned in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin.
Only Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, and the two Gundam Build Fighters series have had fully Japanese protagonists. A few of the side stories have characters with Japanese names as well, but Gundam tends to focus more on whether a character is from Earth or a Space Colony, with the specific country being irrelevant if from Earth.
Kira Yamato from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED has an extremely Japanese name, but his homeland is the Orb Union (a fictional South Pacific island nation). It's possible he has Japanese ancestry (his biological father's surname was "Hibiki") but it's never explored.
Setsuna F. Seiei from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is a subversion: that name is a codename. His real name is Soran Ibrahim, and he's Middle Eastern (suggested to be Kurdish).

Death Note:
L is part-Japanese, although he grew up in Britain. Word of God states that he is one quarter Japanese, one quarter English, one quarter Russian, and one quarter of either French or Italian.
Raye Penber is also a case of this trope: mixed Japanese and American. Justified in that the CIA wanted to send someone to Japan who wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb. The artist admits to playing up the character's "foreignness" when drawing him.
Same goes for Naomi Misora. In general, characters who are part Japanese are drawn with pale skin, black hair, and usually gray or blue eyes. Which makes one wonder about Kiyomi Takada...

Persona:
Persona 2 gives us Lisa Silverman, who is ethnically white but culturally Japanese, having been raised there since birth by a pair of incredibly Japanophile parents. According to a guidebook, said parents are naturalized citizens that immigrated from the United States. Her folks do their damnest to blend in (her mother acts like a stereotypical Japanese lady and dropped her birth name for a Japanese one, while her father practices akido and is prickly about his ethnicity), and while Lisa also tries to do the same, her Shadow implies that isn't necessarily what she wants. Her parents' love of the country is so immense that her father, a minister of trade, can speak English, but has never spoken or taught it to his daughter.
Persona 5 deconstructs the trope: Ann Takamaki is ethnically mostly Japanese, as were her parents, but she is subjected to extreme ostracism and Slut-Shaming because of the blonde hair, blue eyes and decidedly "white" facial features she inherited from an American grandparent. Her appearance also attracts the attention of her school's predatory volleyball coach, who uses her best friend's starting position as leverage to force Ann into having sex with him, and then rapes her friend when she refuses.

American Girls Collection has gotten a fair amount of criticism for often giving characters of color white heritage, especially in the Girls of the Year line. Jess is half-Japanese and half-white, Kanani is half-Japanese-Hawaiian and half-white, Lea is one-eighth Brazilian (and is played by a white actress in her movie), and Nanea (a historical character) is half-Hawaiian and half-white.

My Hero Academia: One of the students from Class 1-B, Pony Tsunotori, is half Japanese, half American who used to live in the USA before moving to Japan. Unlike other similar examples in anime and manga where the character speaks normal Japanese, Tsunotori speaks a broken form of Japanese with a noticeable accent, since Japanese is explicitly not her first language. An example is how she often substitutes Japanese words for English ones, such as saying Vlad-Teacher instead of Vlad-Sensei. In addition, because of her poor Japanese, it's stated that whenever she is upset or angry, she starts speaking entirely in English.

Olivia from Asobi Asobase is of the "ethnic/cultural dissonance" type. While both her parents are foreigners and she has the blonde hair and blue eyes to prove it, she was born and raised in Japan and thus is culturally Japanese.

Case Closed:
Ai Haibara a.k.a. Sherry is half-English. However, she was visibly white, and did mentioned that people with visual foreign traits like her are subjected to prejudice. Her sister, Akemi, looked more Japanese and there has been no mention of her having dealt with anything like that herself.
Saguru Hakuba of Magic Kaito is also half-English. He's lived in London, is one of the most famous detectives in Europe, was even introduced with the Union Flag behind him, yet is actually the son of Tokyo Metropolitan's Superintendent General.
The Akai siblings are British-born with a British mother, Mary. Their father's identity is unknown, but it is known that he was Japanese. Shuichi Akai is also a naturalized American citizen who joined the FBI. Their heritage isn't immediately apparent, since they all use Japanese names and two out of three are Ambiguously Brown.

Himitsu Sentai Gorenger: half-Swiss/half-Japanese Peggy Matsuyama, played by half-Japanese actress Lisa Komaki. Interestingly, the female members of all 1970s Super Sentai series were half-Japanese (J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai's Karen Mizuki and the below example); they didn't start casting full-Japanese actresses until 1980.

Rui, Hitomi and Ai Kisugi, the three main female characters in Cat's Eye, have a German father and a Japanese mother. Only Hitomi, the middle daughter, is said to look the most European of the sisters due to her being virtually identical to their paternal grandmother. Later in the series she has to dye her hair due to the return of blonde strands in her hair.

Momoko Asuka from Ojamajo Doremi was born in Japan, but grew up in America, causing her to speak (perfect) English when she's nervous, which renders her unintelligible to the other girls. It's also reflected in her character design, which makes her look somewhat more edgy than the other girls and her Leitmotif sounding completely different from every other song used in the series.

Hiromi Callahan's sister, Satsuki Callahan, from Zetsubou Robo. Hiromi and her mother are of Japanese descent, while Satsuki is mixed race, since their father, Arthur Callahan, is clearly of European descent. The book implies that this kind of thing is rather common out in the colonies, where various cultures mix and intermingle, and cultural traditions from Earth are not seen as being incredibly important.

Kaede Kimura from Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei is a blonde-haired blue-eyed otherwise-white-looking Japanese native (it's never specified whether she is of mixed ancestry or is simply descended from naturalized white migrants to Japan yes, they do exist) who has recently returned from studying abroad, and has developed a split personality based on her two nations' stereotypes. Her Japanese side is extremely polite and gentle (and in love with Itoshiki-sensei), while her foreign half is loud, obnoxious, and ready to sue her classmates at the drop of a hat.

Hitomi of the Dead or Alive fighting game series fits this trope well, complete with Japanese and German parentage. Interestingly, though, her features are more western in comparison to her very Japanese name.

The rival band from NANA, TRAPNEST, often features fluently English lyrics; likely a product of half-American vocalist Layla 'Reira' Serizawa. In being signed to a label, their record company ultimately decides to hide her heritage by making her image and name more unambiguously Asian— reason being that the Japanese (and implied xenophobic) public would be more impressed with her English if she were a native.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All the JoJos introduced from Part 3 to Part 6 are at least part-Japanese and part-British. Interesting example, in that the author acknowledged and consciously invoked this trope, believing that the previous two parts suffered backlash for starring non-Japanese protagonists due to falling under Japan's Minority Show Ghetto back in the day. To wit:
Jotaro (Part 3) is one quarter British-American (from his grandfather Joseph, the JoJo from part 2), one quarter Italian (from his grandmother Suzi Q) and half-Japanese.
Josuke (Part 4) is half British-American (from Joseph, not that it's impossible...) and half-Japanese (he spent most of his life prior to Part 4 unaware of his Joestar heritage, however).
Giorno (Part 5) is half-British (From Jonathan's body with Dio's head on top), half-Japanese, and culturally Italian (having been raised in Italy and having an Italian stepfather).
Jolyne (Part 6) is an American who is Jotaro's and an Italian-American woman's daughter.
Josuke (Part 8) is a mess simply because he's a Fusion Dance between this reality's Yoshikage Kira—who is... 7/16th some-kind-of-American and 9/16th Japanese due to Johnny's marriage to Rina Higashikata and then the same iteration of George II, Joseph, and then Holly who marries a fully Japanese man—and Josefumi Kujo who is most likely fully Japanesenote while Josefumi was shown with a Joestar birthmark in his first appearance—which would make him also a Joestar, confusing things even more—later chapters lack this. The 2023 reprint of JoJolion removed the birthmark from the aforementioned introduction, indicating that it was an error.

Kodaka Hasegawa in Haganai can be said as a deconstruction—the prevalent racial prejudice in Japan means his half-British background, with dirty blonde hair and Asian facial features giving him a Face of a Thug, combined with a very bad first-day-at-school impression, means he's taken to be a delinquent. His doll-like and much more natural-looking younger sister Kobato has none of the issues.

His racist uncle Ethan gives him a hard time for this, but ultimately comes to respect him, in a way.

Tsuritama:
Yuki Sanada, who has red hair through his French grandmother Kate, who he lives with. This makes him Japanese enough to mostly fit in with the crowd in-story, but still gives him a unique appearance to signify his status as a main character.
Akira Agarkar Yamada is also presumably part Japanese considering his name and fluency in the language.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE has Eleonora Yumizuru, who's half-Japanese and half-Scandinavian.note  Exactly which country is never established. Although she's apparently lived her whole life in japan, she's regularly treated as an outsider. She dreams of becoming a Hollywood actress because she feels it will lead to people judging her for something other than looking different.

Super Sentai has numerous instances of Rangers who were born in Japan, but raised elsewhere. Sometimes homogeny is the culprit, but sometimes it seems that Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe and it won't do for a member of the Five-Man Band to be from elsewhere. Egregious examples include:
Himitsu Sentai Gorenger: half-Swiss/half-Japanese Peggy Matsuyama, played by half-Japanese actress Lisa Komaki. Interestingly, the female members of all 1970s Super Sentai series were half-Japanese (J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai's Karen Mizuki and the below example); they didn't start casting full-Japanese actresses until 1980.
Battle Fever J was as close as Sentai gets to an international team: each Ranger had learned his or her particular fighting style in the country his or her Ranger identity was named for, but with the exception of Miss America, all were born in Japan, and even Miss America was half-Japanese (both Miss Americas, actually).
Choushinsei Flashman starred a team visiting from the Flash solar system, and the environment was only compatible enough for them to stay for about the length of your average sentai series... except it turns out they were kidnapped from Earth long ago.
The best example is Ninja Sentai Kakuranger’s Jiraiya, who despite having a Japanese name was raised in the US and had only come to Japan recently as the series began. He was played by an actual Japanese-American actor, spoke perfect English (to the point where his voice notably stood out in the Roll Calls and posing), spoke Japanese with an American accent and had notably different mannerisms and personality than the Japanese characters.
Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger has Tetsu (who seems like a Human Alien with No Social Skills but is really a human who’s lived offworld since his parents died) and Ban, whose only sign of an Earthen origin is a flashback to his samurai ancestor.
Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: Kyoryu Black is named Ian Yorkland and is ambiguously Western, Kyoryu Pink is named Amy Yuzuki and is Japanese-American, and one episode had one of Ian's old girlfriends, Erica Stonesfield, visiting from abroad; all three are played by Japanese actors. However, Kyoryuger is also noteworthy for having the first non-Japanese Sentai Ranger: Sixth Ranger Ramirez, played by Robert Baldwin (who's ethnically Canadian but was born and raised in Japan and speaks fluent Japanese). His fellow Spirit Ranger Tessai is ethnically Chinese but played by a Japanese actor.
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger's Sixth Ranger is not just from America, but he's an extreme American stereotype; yet he still comes from a Japanese family (his name is Kinji Takigawa) and isn't fluent in English at all.

Many of the most popular characters in the Sakura Wars series are at least half-Japanese, although they're otherwise from all over the place. Maria is Japanese/Russian, Orihime is Japanese/Italian, Hanabi is Japanese/French (though she looks more Japanese than at least half the full Japanese characters in the series)...
In Hanabi's case, the reason is a little different than usual for this trope: Sakura Wars 3: Is Paris Burning? takes place in France, so her mixed heritage is used to explain why a teenage Japanese girl would be living in France.

Fate/stay night has Illya, who has a Japanese dad and a German mom. Well, her mom is a homunculus but is genetically German.
This extends to Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, where (a much nicer and much more normal) Illya is the protagonist, as well as her clone/other side, Chloe, who is Illya's repressed memories given form and looks basically like a Palette Swap (Illya is very pale, with Mystical White Hair and red eyes, Chloe is Ambiguously Brown, her hair is a light pink and her eyes are more orange).

Characters from different countries are almost always half-Japanese or half-American in the Metal Gear series. Revolver Ocelot is half-American/half-Russian, Kazuhira Miller is half-Japanese/half-American, and Naomi Hunter claims to have a Japanese grandfather (though this is revealed to be a lie, and even she's not sure of her real ancestry beyond speculation that there might be some Indian from when Rhodesia was a British colony). Because of his last name, it can be assumed that Johnny Sasaki is also half-Japanese/half-American, though Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater muddies the issue somewhat by featuring his grandfather, also named Johnny, as a Russian prison guard (albeit one who had a son in America before going back to the Union). With the half-American characters, this is clearly a case of But Not Too Foreign so that the characters can be drawn with white features.

James Yun (A.K.A. Jimmy Wang Yang) is half-Korean and half white American, so naturally WCW billed him as a Japanese man (and he ironically got over more in All Japan than he ever did in the States). His first gimmick in the WWE was a Japanese bodyguard with mafia ties and he was a heel. His Heel–Face Turn came when he downplayed his Korean side and embraced his "redneck" ties (albeit Chinese-American redneck ties!). His attire changed from simple black pants to a wifebeater, cowboy hat, blue jeans and Confederate Flag emblems. (Interestingly, the Real Life persona of Yun is very close to that of Wang Yang, as it combines a fondness for "traditional" American culture with The Theme Park Version of the Far East.)

Firo Prochainezo from Baccano! (set in early 20th century America) is half-Italian (the other half being British-descended American), and identifies himself as a second-generation Italian immigrant. With the exception of Japanese-American Yalgumo, most other characters don't have their ethnicity particularly focused upon — although many of the supporting characters are decidedly not American-born simply on the basis that they're a good sixty years older than the country itself.

The comedy film 21 And Over stars Justin Chon of Twilight fame as Jeff Chang, an Asian-American student celebrating his 21st birthday. The version shown in China turns Jeff into a Chinese student who briefly travels to America and gets "corrupted" by its decadent culture before returning to China a better person.

Soul Series:
Setsuka was born to a Portuguese mother and a Japanese father on a voyage from Portugal to Japan. After her parents died from illness during the crossing, she was adopted and raised Japanese.
Arthur is British in origin, but as a boy joined the crew of a merchant ship and was eventually "adopted" by a wealthy Japanese merchant who liked exotic stuff. He was raised in Japan most of his life, and only returned to Europe in his 30's as part of his search of the cursed sword.
Isabella "Ivy" Valentine has Spanish heritage via her birth father Cervantes, but was born and raised English.

Jem from The Infernal Devices is half-white half-Chinese. He has a Chinese name (Ke Jian Ming), but prefers to be called "Jem". Will is a downplayed example; he is fully white, but his father is English while his mother is Welsh. At the time, Welsh identity was very strong (English didn't become the majority language of Wales until 1911), and being Welsh was basically the same thing as being a foreigner to the English.

Almost no Vietnamese character in China Beach is played by a Vietnamese actor. The bar didn't extend to the rest of Southeast Asia: in one episode, Cambodian Haing Ngor plays a character who is explicitly written as Cambodian. The recurring character Mai is plays by Hawaiian actress Elizabeth Lindsey. In the season four episode "The Quest", Colleen McMurphy goes to visit her old Vietnam buddy Dodger and his half-Vietnamese son. The son is played by a young, obviously all-white Joseph Gordon-Levitt. In the son's next appearance, he's older and being played by an actual Asian actor. In all cases, Vietnamese characters speak strongly accented, but otherwise fluent and idiomatic, English.

Of the 14 people who are to decide the fate of the planet in X/1999, 12 are Japanese, one is an artificial construct with the brain of a Japanese girl, and one is half-Japanese, half-generic-white. It's nice to see the rest of the Earth get a little representation.

Tina Foster from Ai Yori Aoshi is an American girl who was raised in Hakata until middle school. As a result, she was unable to make friends in Japan due to being "too American", and she couldn't make friends in high school in America either due to being "too Japanese." She covers up her feelings of being culturally lost by constantly trying to show how "Japanese" she is at heart and is a very tragic and lonely figure despite being a Hard-Drinking Party Girl (to the point of alcoholism) and overall Genki Girl and semi-lunatic. One of the most sympathetically played "Not Too Foreign" characters in anime and manga.

Invoked by Mr. Gus from True Blood. He's Japanese and runs the North American branch of the Yokonomo Corporation (the company that makes TruBlood). The headquarters are in Dallas, and he dresses and talks like a billionaire cowboy to make himself more "approachable" to the Texans he does business with, almost to a patronizing degree. However, the actor playing him is American in real life.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses has Claude. His tan skin tone and the hints that he was not raised as a noble in Fódlan may tip the player off before he reveals that he is half-Almyran, a region east of the main continent. He hides this from most people, as he’d rather not deal with the racism and xenophobia that Almyrans experience.

Orimoto Izumi (Zoe) of Frontier, was born in Japan, but spent most of her formative years in Italy and often uses Italian expressions in her speech. This actually plays into her character development, as it has resulted in her being much more individualistic and independent than her peers. (In the Italian dub, they changed it so Izumi lived in the United States instead, leading her to use a lot of Gratuitous English.)

Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
Rich, white looking, girl Ayaka Yukihiro is also said by Fuuka Narutaki to be 'half breed', although Ayaka herself protested at being called that.
Negi himself might also count. His full name is Negi Springfield and he comes from Wales. His cousin Nekane has the same family name and is blonde and also his father and mother both have Japanese first names. It could be speculated that Nagi's parents were English and Japanese, which resulted in each member of the family having a Japanese first name but an English last name. But as said earlier, might is the key word here as we know nothing about the Springfield family tree.
And then we learn that Negi is half-Welsh, half-MARTIAN. He's also a prince.
Mana is half Puerto Rican, half Japanese, and half Demon. Yes, that's three halves, although technically the last label could have come from the same parent as one of the former two.

Amuro Ray from Mobile Suit Gundam is arguably one of the most famous examples of this trope in all of anime, although his background rarely comes up in conversation. Mostly because his birth in Japan was only background material, likely enforced to avoid having a complete foreigner as The Hero. The further unmentioned location of his childhood home on Earth still shifts to Prince Rupert, Canada, in the movie compilation. Then shifted again to Rosarito, Mexico and specifically mentioned in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin.

Lion Christian Yuzuriha in High School Star Musical is the flipside of variation 4 - he lived in France until he moved to Japan to start high school. Even though he is ethnically Japanese, he didn't speak the language at all, and he's culturally an outsider. It is possible that he put on his over-the-top French affect to avoid that expectation.

Inverted with Santino Marella. In Real Life, his name is Anthony Carelli, and he's a Canadian with Sicilian heritage. However, he made his debut during a European tour in Milan, implying he was a native Italian and winning the Intercontinental Championship as a plant in the crowd, and was called "The Milan Miracle" for a while after that. This is one interesting case where WWE went out of their way to make him more foreign than he already was.

The best example is Ninja Sentai Kakuranger’s Jiraiya, who despite having a Japanese name was raised in the US and had only come to Japan recently as the series began. He was played by an actual Japanese-American actor, spoke perfect English (to the point where his voice notably stood out in the Roll Calls and posing), spoke Japanese with an American accent and had notably different mannerisms and personality than the Japanese characters.

Durarara!!: Walker Yumasaki is regularly noted in the novels to be biracial (half-what has yet to be elaborated upon, but it's implied to be white). This is never brought up in the anime adaptation.

Assassin's Creed III has a rare Western example. The main character, Connor Kenway (birth name is Ratohnhaké:ton) is half-Native American (more specifically, he is part of the Mohawk tribe) and half British. Achilles Davenport (who is black) tells him that with his features and complexion, he can pass off as a Mediterranean to make his dealings with the Colonial Americans easier.

Ken Masters, the second half of the Street Fighter series' leading duo, is a martial arts master who is 3/4 Japanese and 1/4 American (he was purely Japanese in SF I, but was retconned in SF II). His name, Ken, is a legitimate name in both English and Japanese.
Ken's student, Sean from Street Fighter III and his elder sister Laura from Street Fighter V, is half-Japanese, half-Brazilian.
Ken's wife Eliza is fully American. As a result, their son Mel is 5/8 American and 3/8 Japanese.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before: Lara Jean and her sisters are half-white, half-Korean. While the novels are mostly devoid of racism, Lara Jean mentions that she has difficulty dressing up for Halloween, because no matter what costume she wears, everyone always assumes that she is dressing up as an anime character. In the second novel, Stormy accuses her of siding with a fellow retiree of Japanese descent because they are both Asian (then again, Stormy is old and likely doesn't mean it as an insult, though Lara Jean is stung, regardless).

Only Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, and the two Gundam Build Fighters series have had fully Japanese protagonists. A few of the side stories have characters with Japanese names as well, but Gundam tends to focus more on whether a character is from Earth or a Space Colony, with the specific country being irrelevant if from Earth.

Chitoge Kirisaki, the female protagonist in Nisekoi, has a white American father and Japanese mother. Consequently, she has blonde hair and blue eyes from her father's side of the family. Raku and Chitoge's quarter-American son Haku likewise has blonde hair and blue eyes, inherited from his mother.

The Shadowhunter Chronicles:
Every character of a different ethnicity who appears in The Mortal Instruments always turns out to be biracial, (usually half white). Magnus is half-Dutch/half-Indonesian, Aline is half-Chinese/half-white, Maia is half-black/half-white. See a trend here?
Jem from The Infernal Devices is half-white half-Chinese. He has a Chinese name (Ke Jian Ming), but prefers to be called "Jem". Will is a downplayed example; he is fully white, but his father is English while his mother is Welsh. At the time, Welsh identity was very strong (English didn't become the majority language of Wales until 1911), and being Welsh was basically the same thing as being a foreigner to the English.
Cordelia Carstairs, the main protagonist of The Last Hours, is half-English half-Persian.

Lilly Satou and her big sister Akira from Katawa Shoujo are half-Scottish, half-Japanese. Word of God says that Lilly looks completely white.
Some aspects of this trope are lampshaded in her route, with Plucky Comic Relief Kenji theorizing as for what her "other half" might be and eventually settling on Russian, one of the more stereotypical choices (explaining his reasoning as Lilly's money having probably come from the Russian mafia.

Mamori from Eyeshield 21 is quarter-American (on her mother's side). Although she is the quickest to pick up the rules and nuances of Football (faster than the rookie players), according to the manga writer, her ancestry wasn't planned to explain this. Instead, he came up with it as way to explain why such an upright/uptight character (and member of the school's disciplinary committee) had brown hair in the color art. (The blond and brown-haired boys in the cast are assumed to have dye-jobs.)

Lupin III, in the series of the same name; his father, Arsene Lupin, Jr., was the son of the original Arsène Lupin, main character of a famous French pulp adventure series of the late 19th and early 20th century. His mother, on the other hand, is Japanese. He encounters the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of other famous fictional (and in some cases historical) figures, and in most cases, they would have a Japanese mother or grandmother.

The eponymous Kamen Rider Amazon was born in the Amazon jungle. However, it turns out that he's a Japanese who was simply abandoned in the Amazon, Tarzan-style. His Suspiciously Similar Substitute in Kamen Rider Decade is played by an actual South American, though he's still half-Japanese (specifically, Japanese-Peruvian, and he has the mixed name of Enrique Sakamoto).
Kamen Rider Fourze has part-white Jerk Jock Shun Daimonji, played by mixed Japanese-Australian actor Justin Tomimori.
Kamen Rider Kabuto's Tsurugi is mixed Japanese-white, though his actor is fully Japanese.

In Tyrant (2014), protagonist Bassam Al-Fayeed, supposedly a native of the fictional country of Abbudin, is played by white British actor Adam Rayner. His obvious white features are explained as a result of his mother being a British woman.

Full Metal Panic!:
The original light novels mention several examples of this: Kurz and Tessa are both foreigners raised in Japan, and Sousuke is ethnic Japanese raised in Russia and later Afghanistan. Probably justified in that Mithrill likely picked the three of them for those characteristics.
Kaname is of the "ethnic/cultural dissonance" variant. While she's fully Japanese, she spent much of her childhood in New York and is basically America the obnoxious.

Vampire: The Requiem uses this trope as a plot point. The character Emily Eupraxus Washington was inducted into the ancient Roman Eupraxus bloodline, who are treated as the figureheads of the Invictus Covenant. Emily's half-Japanese, and is portrayed as an ineffectual ruler and moe blob. The plot is that the elder Invictus are largely racist feudal Europeans, but they dare not act against their crown jewel. The younger Invictus, on the other hand, love Emily because her combined lineage and bloodline show that the Invictus is capable of adapting to the modern world. Allegedly, the Japanese ancestry also pleases a large part of the fan base.

The characters of Saint Seiya come all over the globe, but the main characters are all Japanese... except for Hyouga, who is half-Russian. He's blonde and blue-eyed (like his Missing Mom), has cold-based attacks some of which have Russian names, and he gets most of the (W)angst. Justified in the manga, though, where the man that put them through the Training from Hell, Mitsumasa Kido, was actually their absurdly promiscuous father, and since he was Japanese...
