Mukokuseki	comment	Mukokuseki (jp: ç„¡å›½ç±�) is the deliberate lack of ethnic features included in the character design of Japanese fictional characters. It literally means "stateless" (i.e. "without nationality"), though the term relates to more abstract anime, and in this case, used hyperbolically. Note that just because you perceive someone as being a particular ethnicity despite Word of God saying otherwise doesn't mean it is this trope. The trope appears when characters of the same race look completely different, or characters of different races look essentially the same. It's the ambiguity that arises when there is a lack of Facial Profiling. Look at the picture to the right. Are the characters all different ethnicities, and if so what are they? Are they all the same ethnicity, and if so which is it? It can cause some other problems with a Live-Action Adaptation... do you cast a character based on canon ethnicity or just someone who fits in the subjective range of ethnic vagueness of the drawing? Or whatever is the majority for the assumed audience regardless? People (rightly or wrongly) typically fall back on one of two explanations for this trope. The first is that the purpose of mukokuseki is to make characters look distinct so that the audience, and the artists don't get confused. In works set in the largely homogeneous Japan, it can be hard for an animator to make unique designs in such a simple art style for several dozen straight black-haired, brown-eyed people. The second is the idea that the artists are supposedly appropriating archetypically Western features into their character designs either for their own interests or for marketing purposes. It is speculated that the pervasiveness of these physical characteristics in Japanese pop-culture are the result of Western influences. Eurocentric beauty standards have infiltrated most cultures over the centuries via Western colonialism and soft power. The Portuguese missionary Luis Frois, who stayed in Japan for more than 30 years during the Warring States period, said, "Europeans say big eyes are beautiful. The Japanese consider it horrifying and make it beautiful to have the eyes closed." Although large eyes can be quite common amongst Japanese and other East Asian ethnicities, this describes how the Japanese at that time idealized the smaller eyes as depicted in picture scrolls and bijin-ga, rather than big eyes which are a dominant beauty standard in Japan today. Western societies tend to view ethnic Caucasian features as "default" or "featureless", so when they see unrealistic depictions of humans they subconsciously assume the depiction "looks white" unless there's specific racial stereotypes attached. Westerners in anime and manga are sometimes subject to Facial Profiling. This usually comes in the form of giving them large noses, generally prominent facial topography and other physical stereotypes. This is more common in manga, anime, and Japanese video games that have a more realistic/serious setting where the fact that a character is Western is relevant to the story. Most Japanese artists will avoid doing this if they can, though, since these features blend in poorly with the majority of Japanese art styles and can reduce the appeal to the target audience (otaku). In these cases, the character may be assumed to be Western based on context but their physical features are given the Mukokuseki treatment. Although Mukokuseki is applied to Japanese characters, Chinese and Korean people in manga, anime, and Japanese video games are sometimes still given Facial Profiling (although not as often as white Westerners are). This is rooted in how imperial Japanese propagandists generally depicted themselves as fair skinned and wide eyed in contrast to the Chinese and Koreans, who were depicted with smaller eyes and stereotypical yellow skin. This artistic racialization was done by the Japanese to distance themselves from the rest of the Asian continent, particularly other East Asians, whom they viewed as inferior to them, and to put themselves on the same level as the West (white people). Modern depictions of Chinese and Korean people usually aren't as unabashedly racist as they were during World War II but many racist stereotypes do persist. See Anime Chinese People and Koreans in Japan for more information about the depictions of these nationalities in Japanese media. A Trope Codifier for this was Sailor Moon, the cast of which grows quite large over the course of the series (although this trope was pervasive before Sailor Moon). Despite a majority of the characters being 100% Japanese, they have every hair and eye color possible — and even some that aren't. A point of contention is that the main character has yellow hair and blue eyes, making her look "white". Taking into account that her mother has blue hair and her daughter has pink hair, it's clear the color isn't meant to indicate any race. In the live-action adaptation, the wild colors were part of the main cast's transformations, but, in their civilian personas, they had black or brown hair. SM's influence on Japanese pop culture helped to spread the look and it now pervades all media (anime, manga, advertising, video games etc). On the other end of the spectrum from the Sailor Moon example, the creator of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, went on record saying he was happy Naruto was designed with blond spikey hair because after the series went international it made the character more relatable to Western audiences, and even stated that "Naruto has blue eyes and blonde hair, so any child actor in America could play him" in a live-action adaptation (although his perspective comes from the Japanese stereotype that most Americans are blond-haired and blue-eyed white people). Regardless of what they look like, as a general rule, assume that the character's race matches the original primary audience unless it's heavily implied (through setting, culture, costume, or Word of God) to be otherwise. That's true of all media that doesn't use Facial Profiling — Eastern or Western, even literature where you have to use your own imagination. Without Word of God, it can be hard to tell, which is why some people unfamiliar with the concept of Mukokuseki come to the conclusion that Japanese people have a rather skewed sense of self-perception. The Trope Codifier was Osamu Tezuka, whose art style was heavily influenced by the works of Walt Disney, Max and Dave Fleischer, and other American cartoonists, though the big anime eye trope was established decades before Osamu Tezuka. Also, Big Anime Eyes still differ in style from American creations such as Big Disney Eyes and Big Looney Tune Eyes; mainly, the former aren't as unrealistically circular. That's part of the reason you don't confuse Red Hot Riding Hood or the Disney Princesses for anime characters, or even Rapunzel. In part, this trope has to do with the Default Human Being concept. Without obvious ethnic or gendered features, the audience will assume the character defaults to their culture's idea of the common human. This can be seen in the West with the featureless stick-figure depicting humanity as a whole and indicating white men specifically at once. Just as American animators will give Asian distinct features to indicate they're different from the European default, Japanese animators will often give European-descended characters distinct facial features to make them different from the Japanese default, even if both defaults are functionally identical. Compare Ambiguously Brown (when someone has a noticeably different look from the rest of the main cast, but still no distinct giveaways or confirmed ethnicity), Only Six Faces (where there is little difference at all in character designs), and Humans Are White ("stateless" of course means skin ranging from pale to peachy). See also Implausible Hair Color, Big Anime Eyes, and People of Hair Color.

In Digimon Tamers, Henry Wong, along with his siblings to varying degrees, looks distinctively Chinese with his yellowish skin tone, thicker eyebrows and sharp eyes, with their father explicitly being from Hong Kong. His name is "Li Jianliang" in the original Japanese version, such an oddity that at one point another character assuming his name was completely different because of a mix up between Kanji and Hanzi interpretations of the same name. Digimon Fusion features Christopher Aonuma and Ewan Amano, who both are blonde haired and blue eyed without any explanation. Even more confusing, Ewan's sister Nene is decidedly not an example herself, having brown hair and a slightly darker skin tone.

Mukokuseki / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Â½ The characters' facial features are less distinctly Asian than classically Takahashi, with her distinctive rounded style. In the manga, all Japanese and Chinese characters are depicted with what one would assume is either black or brown hair, and are generally differentiated by their style of dress (although Ranma prefers to wear Chinese-style clothing normally). In the anime, this is done a bit more subtly — the Japanese characters do have either black or brown hair (or dark blue in Akane's case). Most non-Japanese characters will have some other hair color (blonde, purple, green, pink). Exceptions include Azusa Shiratori, whose hair is more of a darker honey color, and the black-haired, Chinese Mousse, and Ranma himself, who retained his black hair in male form but received gray eyes, switching to red and blue respectively when his curse is triggered.

This trope is usually played straight, as many of the characters are all drawn with ethnic-less anime faces and have a mix of Japanese, English, and other language names in the Japanese version. However, a few characters are either Ambiguously Brown or intentionally designed to look non-white (Alex, Kendall, Kurt, Tim, etc). With the addition of Harvest Moon: A Tale of Two Towns, we finally have a town full of vaguely Asian-looking characters. The other eponymous town, however, is a typical SOS town.

Mukokuseki / int_2793eed2	comment	Hanazakari no Kimitachi E, or Hana-Kimi, is set in a Japanese private school where the ethnicity of the characters is obvious, especially when the hair is colored. Main character Mizuki is half-American and given light brown hair, and her friends commented upon seeing her blond-haired blue-eyed brother that he looks more American — to which she replied they were actually half-siblings. Osakan classmate Nakatsu is obnoxiously blond but is given a backstory wherein he explains why he dyes it. The Dorm 3 RA Himejima seems to be a stereotype of French melodramatics and flamboyance, even carrying around a rose, having long blond hair and appearing with shoujo sparkles — but he is explained to be a half-German who worships his European heritage. Mizuki's friend Julia has very blonde, curly hair and blue eyes, which garnered lots of attention when she arrived in Japan to visit her. The author seems to relish getting the chance to draw more than Japanese people, so there's a high number of blondes, blacks, and more when the characters visit California.

Mukokuseki / int_32c541e6	comment	Fullmetal Alchemist: Fullmetal Alchemist mostly avoids this, as it takes place in a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of central Europe and visitors from the east like Ling are stereotypical Asian-looking for the most part. The few black characters like Paninya also have noticeably Nubian features. Inverted with Roy Mustang, who looks more like somebody from Xing than Amestris, and despite it never being really commented on, is shorter than most of the male cast. Fanon has it that his mother is from Xing, but within the manga this is never commented on, and his foster mother (who's his paternal aunt) doesn't provide much in the way of clues either. Also worth noting is Izumi also sports a much more Asian appearance than the rest of the cast as well, and not to mention has a distinctly Asian first name amongst a cast that has predominantly Western names even despite her Western maiden name, "Harnet". Like Mustang, her ethnicity has yet to be commented on. Note that since Amestris does sport a variety in race in its population, it might not be considered worth commenting on by the rest of the cast. Despite Roy's active lifestyle, similarly to Ling he's rather lean and doesn't have the same buff physique that most men in this series seem to sport. Izumi is also noticeably slimmer than the other girls in spite of being a martial artist.

Many Asian-themed characters do not have Asian-themed appearances, such as the pale-skinned, blonde-haired Yang Xiao Long, who is based on both Goldilocks and Bruce Lee, or the blue-eyed, tan-skinned blond Sun Wukong, who is a Journey to the West Shout-Out but has an appearance based on Korean pop idols.

Seiei from Gundam 00 is an odd case, looking vaguely Japanese before it's revealed that he's actually Kurdish and that's simply a code name (real name: Soran Ibrahim). Setsuna's skin complexion is slightly swarthy and less pale than the Japanese and Caucasian characters in the show however, as you can see here (he's the one with the scarf), and having that kind of skin tone is a trait in Middle Eastern men. Saji Crossroad who, despite the surname, is supposed to be Japanese looks not too dissimilar to the American Graham Aker, or Irish Lockon. Setsuna, on the other hand, is clearly a very different nationality than they are, and his skin tone is far more suited to Middle Eastern skin tones than he is to Japanese. Marina Ismail is a princess from the Middle-East and yet she looks Asian and has blue eyes.

Mikasa is stated to be 'half-oriental' and her mother probably the last person 'from the orient' in the world. They both have straight luxurious black hair. Judging by her name she's probably Japanese while most of the rest of the cast is German (based on their names and that half of both theme song's lyrics are sung in German). Later on, we meet characters who are from the part of the world that Mikasa's mother hailed from, and they have much more clearly Asian features.

Only Menma has a truly unusual appearance, which can be partially explained by her mother being Russian (a child with all-gray hair is pretty odd, though).

Mukokuseki / int_43a9c333	comment	Cowboy Bebop has a wide variety of ethnicities and there is considerable effort to make them appear properly ethnic. Some of the terraformed planets have an architectural Planet of Hats with corresponding cultures like Morocco, Ecuador and Vienna. In fact, some fans theorize that Spike Spiegel is Jewish. His hair doesn't help, but Word of God says the name was picked because it sounded cool. Neither does the gun that he uses being from Israel. It also doesn't help that Spike's English voice actor, Steve Blum, is Jewish and lives in New York, New York. On the other hand, Faye Valentine and Edward IV aka Francoise Appledelhi are of clearer ancestry; given Faye's hometown of Singapore, she is likely either Chinese or Malay, while Ed is likely Turkish.

Of the three ethnically Asian-counterpart player characters, two (a Japanese Miko and a Vietnamese pirate) look reasonably Asian-ish, and Amiti (from more-or-less Thailand) has the same generic features as the ethnically white characters (because he's the bastard son of Alex, who is white Norse.

Asuka's hair is anywhere from strawberry blonde to reddish-brown to red and she has blue eyes, but this is explained by her having a white father and a mixed-race mother, and she's mentioned as looking "exotic" by several other characters.

Mukokuseki / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Homestuck: A rare Western media example. The "playable" human characters are rendered with completely white (as in color code #ffffff) skin, while actual white people (like Andrew Hussie's Author Avatar and Dinosaur Comics author Ryan North) are rendered with not-quite-flesh-tone skin that's more orange than anything. Word of God has specified that the blank white characters are supposed to be a-racial, and the plot justifies this: these characters were brought to life by ectobiology, meaning they are not related to any other humans and do not have ethnicity in the conventional sense. It's left up to the reader to decide what race they resemble. Spoofed with Dave's brother being a "white rapper". Briefly got changed to gibberish when fans complained about it, but changed back later. Not only did the Author specify that such things can be disregarded as "minor fuckups" in developing headcanons, it can also be handwaved away pretty easily since the remark in question comes from John, who might have never in his life actually seen Dave's bro in the flesh. And even if this one character should be considered white, the other 7 members of the human main cast are still all fair game. And that's not even opening the can of worms that the definition of "white" can be... Another a-racial character actually hallucinates being explicitly Caucasian during a Mushroom Samba, although the Lampshade Hanging of this in which another character is horrified by the change was unhappened due to some fans using it as a means to be racist, the author himself was not at all cool with that.

His hair and eyes are later revealed to be caused by a mushi, though. Well, when Ginko was designed the writer was imagining the story set in the modern era, with the first story set in a traditional house deep in the woods, but it somehow slipped into an alternate feudal era, leaving him with his anachronisms. At least according to the author's notes. But then, he's supposed to be a freak, anyway.

Mukokuseki / int_6196490	comment	In Ghost in the Shell, most characters look more or less as if they could be actually Japanese, depending on the art style of the different artists/animators. Except for Batou and Togusa, who don't look Asian at all. Batou has blonde hair and a very strong white facial structure. The large round prosthetic eyes don't help with figuring out his race. Most of these can be justified in that most of the cast are heavily modified cyborgs, with Batou and the Major (at least) basically being robots with human brains. They could look like any race at all, and in Motoko's case, the question about her original gender is brought up. She's always been female since birth, but the gender issue is discussed. This became a controversy when Scarlett Johansson was cast as the Major for the 2017 Hollywood live-action of this series as several people insisted that she should be played by a Japanese actress. The publisher and several people who had worked with the franchise, such as Mamoru Oshii, have no problem with the casting. Then, it's revealed in the movie that the Major is really Japanese only to be forced into a white artificial body with her memories completely altered.

However, there is orange-haired Chiyo-chan (although redheads are known to exist naturally in Japan, they are exceptionally rare, and not without some gaijin mixing or genetic anomaly.) There's also the eye color of Sakaki, which are supposedly blue (most of the cast's are brown). Significant because blue eyes are a heavily recessive gene (basically recessive to all other eye colors) that manifests sparsely in northern Japan due to Jomon admixture and very rare outside of white populations.

Chang WuFei is recognizably Chinese compared to the Japanese Heero, as well as leaning more into the Asian culture compared to the other Gundam pilots. Treize Khushrenada is part-Japanese but has a mix of Asian and European features. Heero Yuy himself who, according to the novel Frozen Teardrop, is half-Russian and yet according to the creators, was based off a full-blooded Japanese idol in the 90s. Quatre is seen as the biggest aberration, as he is intended to be Arab but has blonde hair and blue eyes.

Mukokuseki / int_8501afb1	comment	In some scenes from the early concept trailers for Advent Children, Cloud looks rather obviously Asian (even with dyed-looking hair in some versions — see the sequence where he fights with Kadaj near the scrap metal). And, in other early concepts, he looks completely white (the promotional render of him holding the sword). This was changed to the more racially ambiguous look (i.e. European in hair and eye color, East Asian in eye shape and a mix of facial features) he and most other characters have in the final version(s) of the movie, as well as Dirge of Cerberus. This also arguably the case for both the early versions of Sephiroth and Kadaj.

There's a mysterious blonde, then another one, but they have reasons, as is revealed after the action moves to the fantasy world, where people explicitly have anime-diverse hair and skin colors. Dark skin, red eyes, purple or orange hair, it's all there (and in the original novels). (But not many blondes.)

A few other characters manage to avoid the trope as well, Clow Reed as an example. As does Syaoran's mother, Li Yelan. (Her five children, however, all play the trope straight; obviously, they take after their late father.)

Mukokuseki / int_8ac4e993	comment	Gundam usually averts this by simply having a multinational cast along with blurred nationalities given the futuristic setting. But this still comes up from time to time. Many of the installments include the formation of a One World Government and the deportation of large swathes of the population into space colonies, so the â€œstatelessnessâ€� of its characters simply reflects the tangled mess that concepts like â€œethnicityâ€� and â€œnationalityâ€� have become under those circumstances. The original Mobile Suit Gundam established a trend where the names of numerous characters are uniquely created and not necessarily reflective of any ethnicity, like Bright Noah, which means any intended ethnicity is more often caught in background material rather than made explicit in the show. Though Mirai Yashima and Hayato Kobayashi in both names and appearances are notably Asian compared to the rest of the cast. Series protagonist Amuro Ray is supposed to be mixed race with his brown eyes and reddish hair, with his father Japanese and his mother being either American, Canadian or Mexican depending on the version. 0083's Kou Uraki is often commented on as being the most Asian-looking character in all of Gundam. Gundam Wing is an interesting case overall. Chang WuFei is recognizably Chinese compared to the Japanese Heero, as well as leaning more into the Asian culture compared to the other Gundam pilots. Treize Khushrenada is part-Japanese but has a mix of Asian and European features. Heero Yuy himself who, according to the novel Frozen Teardrop, is half-Russian and yet according to the creators, was based off a full-blooded Japanese idol in the 90s. Quatre is seen as the biggest aberration, as he is intended to be Arab but has blonde hair and blue eyes. Turns out there are indeed quite a few groups in the Middle East that can have both features, especially around Syria and Morocco. Setsuna F. Seiei from Gundam 00 is an odd case, looking vaguely Japanese before it's revealed that he's actually Kurdish and that's simply a code name (real name: Soran Ibrahim). Setsuna's skin complexion is slightly swarthy and less pale than the Japanese and Caucasian characters in the show however, as you can see here (he's the one with the scarf), and having that kind of skin tone is a trait in Middle Eastern men. Saji Crossroad who, despite the surname, is supposed to be Japanese looks not too dissimilar to the American Graham Aker, or Irish Lockon. Setsuna, on the other hand, is clearly a very different nationality than they are, and his skin tone is far more suited to Middle Eastern skin tones than he is to Japanese. Marina Ismail is a princess from the Middle-East and yet she looks Asian and has blue eyes. ∀ Gundam averts this by drawing the character with the Western name with more prominent facial features typical of Europeans. The Moonrace officer named Phil Ackman is drawn with a large, square jaw, large nose and deep-set eyes. There's also Po Ai Zhi (or something like that), who looks more or less like somebody who would actually be named that. Most of the cast is either Asian-looking or ethnically ambiguous, though. The funny thing is, there doesn't seem to be anybody with a Japanese-sounding name in the cast. Big Bad Gym Gingnham likes to dress up like a Samurai, but he's just a huge weeaboo. Mobile Fighter G Gundam, operating as it does on Captain Ethnic, predictably averts this for most of the Japanese characters. The exception is blue-eyed brunette Rain Mikamura (though it's within the realm of possibility that her mother, who is never mentioned, is of a different nationality.)

Apparently, the characters in the first game looked so Japanese that the localization had to Photoshop them in order to make them look more "American".

As does his older brother, eventually, who's less cutely designed and therefore more clearly Japanese. However, he still falls under the "big eyes" design. The fantasy hair and eye colors of most of the main characters are noted in the first episode, while the lead is still finding his feet and has no idea what's going on, but afterward they don't really come up, since they're standard to the world they're in. Also some fantasy coloring like pink are green hair, and a couple of vaguely Asian-looking people here and there. The third season's inexplicable soukoku Berias, who turns out to have been concealing his actual identity as a blond elf prince. Played straight with the main character's mother (who may be Japanese-American although she's now living in Japan), who has curly light brown hair and generic cute features, though in one flashback scene in Boston she refers to herself as Japanese.

Surge). However, starting in Johto this trope was played straight more often, with plenty of blond and other light-haired characters who are clearly Asian (for instance, in Johto we have Morty, who is blond and comes from a very stereotypically Japanese city). In Unova, it's hard to tell who's Asian and who's not. You'd expect the ones with Japanese names to be so, but one of the more well known cases is back in Kanto, which is realistically drawn and colored we have a red-haired, blue-eyed girl with a Japanese name.

Then there is Kallen Kozuki/Stadtfeld, who is half Britannian and half Japanese, and passes either way. The trope is somewhat averted by depicting the minor Britannian characters like Diethard Reid and Bismark Waldstein with more prominent, European facial features, although it isn't applied consistently enough to completely avert the trope.

Mukokuseki / int_a54eef52	comment	Downplayed in Hetalia: Axis Powers. It gives appropriate hair and eye color to the European and Asian characters, though it does have some artistic breaks via Technicolor Eyes and heavily indulges in "Westerners are blond". Some Westerners have uniquely foreign features, such as Russia (large nose), France (wavy hair, lots of body hair), Spain (curly hair, olive skin, "clear cut features typical of Spanish"), Germany, Prussia and Sweden (squinty eyes, a common trait of anime westerners). Japan's straight black hair, short stature, Older Than They Look appearance and dark, almost soulless eyes make him stand out from most of the Europeans. China has slight Tsurime Eyes. Played mostly straight with the skin colors, everybody who isn't a shade of tan or brown has the same pale pink skintone. The first four seasons of the anime take this to an extreme, leaving only Cuba with darker skin while "neutralizing" the olive-skinned Spain, Romano, Greece, Turkey, the Arabian Egypt and most infamously, the Creole-African Seychelles. The anime's fifth season fixes most of this. This adaptation even adds more variation; American has a slight tan, England is more pale, China and Japan are given yellowish/ocher skin, etc.

Mukokuseki / int_a81325d3	comment	Overall, most Final Fantasy characters appear to have an intentional mix of Western/Eastern features. At least in the English localization of the game, Cloud from Final Fantasy VII is described as 'white' a few times. In his appearances in HD media, they went for a more ambiguous look — see below. According to Word of God, Squaresoft was inspired by Final Fantasy VII's big international success and so went out of their way to have the characters in Final Fantasy VIII be white, hoping to attract more Americans — with the exceptions of Squall, who was modelled after a Japanese celebrity, Rinoa (who was designed to be appealing to the Japanese audience in particular), and Edea (who was based on an old original character of Tetsuya Nomura's). This is part of the reason for Quistis's strangely mature appearance — Nomura had designed the character as a beautiful woman in her late 20s, and was reportedly shocked and annoyed when the writers decided to make her 18 with the justification that white women tend to look more mature. The in-game character models in Final Fantasy X. However, the FMV ones have very noticeable Japanese features — for some of them, at least: Rikku is quite obviously Asian, as is Tidus (in the CG cutscenes), and Yuna is noticeably Asian but with slightly softer features. Wakka is Ambiguously Brown. Lulu, Auron, and Seymour, though, are white as the driven snow. Like with Squall above, Tidus was modelled after a real-life Korean celebrity. Seen Kingdom Hearts. Especially with Sora, Riku, and Kairi. Are they Japanese through SE? Pacific Islander because of Destiny Island being their home? note That being said Sora explicitly points out he's technically an Islander in the third game lending credence to the last one. The fact Kairi has pinkish red hair and Riku has silver isn't helping matters. With this being said, the Norts being Ambiguously Brown does NOT fall into this, despite Xehanort being from Destiny Islands. The skin tone/eyes/hair/ears set up comes from being immersed in Darkness. In some scenes from the early concept trailers for Advent Children, Cloud looks rather obviously Asian (even with dyed-looking hair in some versions — see the sequence where he fights with Kadaj near the scrap metal). And, in other early concepts, he looks completely white (the promotional render of him holding the sword). This was changed to the more racially ambiguous look (i.e. European in hair and eye color, East Asian in eye shape and a mix of facial features) he and most other characters have in the final version(s) of the movie, as well as Dirge of Cerberus. This also arguably the case for both the early versions of Sephiroth and Kadaj. In The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, the characters seem to span a wide range of races. Cloud, Zack, Tifa, Reno, Elena and Reeve all have mixed Asian/white features. Yuffie is most obviously completely Asian, as is Tseng (the designers claimed to have enjoyed dressing Yuffie the best, as they were able to use Japanese designs in her clothing). Aerith and Cid are white. Barret and Rude are black. Red XIII is a dog and Cait Sith is a cat. Roberto Ferrari's designs for the casts of Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy VII Remake noticeably skew a lot less Japanese than Nomura's versions of the same designs, with the exception of Noctis, Iris, and Gentiana, who also move away from this trope by looking more overtly Japanese, and Cindy and Lunafreya who have a mix of facial features. Averted for the most part in Final Fantasy XIV where Othardians (Fantasy Counterpart Culture of East Asia) mostly have dark brown hair much like actual Asians. Oddly played straight with a representative from Nagxia (based off of Southeast Asia) who has blond hair and blue eyes. Seeing as that area is yet to be explored, it is unknown if that is a common trait there.

Rococo also averts this, having darker skin because he's African. And Endou Daisuke has somewhat darker skin since he had been living in Africa for years, while flashbacks depict him with the same skin color as the rest of his family. Sakuma's darker skin, on the other hand, is never explained. Through out the course of each title one can meet lots of players with varying degrees of plot relevance that look undeniably white, black, brown and some that don't even look human. And yet each and every one of them is treated as if they were ethnically japanese unless stated otherwise.

Most of the characters look unmistakably Japanese, and the ones that don't are quickly acknowledged as strange looking. The main character himself has single eyelid folds, making him look the most Japanese despite having bright red dyed hair. On top of that, most of the characters in the show are far from fair-skinned. Some characters, however, tend to have a certain black African feel on them, most noticeable with Takenori Akagi who was a considerable darker skin and wider lips than the rest of the characters and a flat top haircut that totally looks to be cut on a afro-textured hair.

The Japanese characters all have dark hair, eyes, and a range of Asian skin tones that deliberately constrast with the more varied features of the European cast, even the ones who're drawn in a more typical "anime" style.

Mukokuseki / int_e89f120b	comment	The original Mobile Suit Gundam established a trend where the names of numerous characters are uniquely created and not necessarily reflective of any ethnicity, like Bright Noah, which means any intended ethnicity is more often caught in background material rather than made explicit in the show. Though Mirai Yashima and Hayato Kobayashi in both names and appearances are notably Asian compared to the rest of the cast. Series protagonist Amuro Ray is supposed to be mixed race with his brown eyes and reddish hair, with his father Japanese and his mother being either American, Canadian or Mexican depending on the version.

(Epileptic Trees say he's at least part Dutch.) Also to considered are the OVA movies; Kenshin comes off way more Japanese in those, but there is also a large shift in art style to consider.

Mika and Karin from Street Fighter Alpha both have blonde hair and Mika even has blue eyes, however both are apparently Japanese.

Mukokuseki / int_f47d7226	comment	The trope is cleverly, though subtly, acknowledged in Re:CREATORS. The real-world cast members all have typically Japanese features, while the Creations, being anime and game characters, run the full spectrum of hair and eye colors. Celesia, a blue-eyed Fiery Redhead, is from a Europe-like setting, but when her creator Matsubara meets her (mistaking her for a cosplayer), he can't place her ethnicity. She looks foreign to him, but not entirely, and his best guess is that she's mixed-race.

Mukokuseki / int_f565604d	comment	Done somewhat in Eyeshield 21: All the Japanese characters have black/dark brown hair and brown eyes, the ones who don't have clearly colored their hair since their eyebrows are still black. However, when it comes to facial features, it's a no holds bar of weirdness. For example, a Japanese player who loves Egyptian culture actually LOOKS like an Egyptian, rather then just a really tan Japanese guy. The only prominent character whose drawn with Asian features is Seijirou Shin and that's because he's based off Bruce Lee.

Pacific Islander because of Destiny Island being their home? note That being said Sora explicitly points out he's technically an Islander in the third game lending credence to the last one. The fact Kairi has pinkish red hair and Riku has silver isn't helping matters. With this being said, the Norts being Ambiguously Brown does NOT fall into this, despite Xehanort being from Destiny Islands. The skin tone/eyes/hair/ears set up comes from being immersed in Darkness.

Japanese thief Fujiko is often able to pass herself off as a wide number of ethnicities (an Eastern Bloc communist, an American flight attendant, a Scottish singer, ect.) with nothing more than a wig or contact lenses. In fact, the character of Goemon was expressly created because the author wanted to have an instantly identifiable Japanese member of the cast.

Mukokuseki / int_f8956ef3	comment	In YuYu Hakusho, every human looks realistically Japanese, with standard black or brown-variation hair, except for Kuwabara and Kurama. Kurama's odd red hair color is likely a result of altering the genes of the human fetus he possessed. In Kuwabara's case, his hair looks like the result of a Japanese person dying their hair blonde without bleaching it first. This was actually a common trend among Japanese juvenile delinquents in the 90s. This trope is completely averted in the manga, however. In colored manga images, Kuwabara and Kurama both have standard black hair.

Japanese Kirika and Taiwanese Shaoli are both clearly Asian looking, and while Chloe's ethnicity is never specified it's implied she's at least partially Asian as well due to her eye shape and petite frame.
