Which Anime Characters Share Your Ethnic Background?

Postby mitsuki lover » Sat Aug 18, 2007 2:48 pm

A bit of a take off of the What Anime Heroes Represent Your Country thread
except a bit more inclusive as it includes both heroes and villians.
So what Anime Characters can you think of that share at least part of your
ethnic heritage?
Note:They don't have to be from your country,just share a similiar
ethnic background.

After what I've been through these past years, I'll have to go the same path as Temmy--Sephiroth.

And one of my all-time favorite Anime characters, "Bob" in Tenge Tenjho.

For me, I suppose most of the Gods in both "Oh, My Goddess" and "Mystical Detective Loki" are technically Scandinavians. I can't think of any mortals that share my Nordic blood, though. But there sure are an awful lot of blond hair and blue eyes for an artform hailing from a country full of brown-eyed brunettes!

Find me the most pale anime character ever created, and that can be me.

I seriously, am a ghost.

Well, Kakuhama the Lawyer on "Nerima Daikon Brothers" had a southern accent...that's as good as I can get.

See, the complicated part is I'm really not THAT southern (the suburbs of Atlanta don't breed accents and such quite as well as the rest of the state)

Ah, Chao Tzu, then.
As for me, um... the white guy. From, you know, that series. You know, the guy that says the stuff. Yeah. Him.

There are too many characters spread across too many series for me to really keep track. I don't know most of their names.

I guess the earliest character that I ran across was Shampoo (Shan-pu, meaning "coral jade") from Ranma 1/2. Then the rest of the weirdos like Mousse. Of course there was that spring guide.

There were some characters in Bebop, that's all I know. In short, whoever that Spike used to work with in the Chinese syndicate. I know Faye Valentine came from Singapore, but I doubt she's Chinese.

Some characters in Outlaw Star as well, same goes for various incarnations of Ghost in the Shell. These sci-fi series seem to follow the same Blade Runner-esq thesis that the Chinese population is going to grow greatly in the future. (I don't know if people noticed, but in at least one episode of Cowboy Bebop I heard the jump gate announcement and it was in Mandarin Chinese "huan-in...")

The baddest Chinese character? Revy from Black Lagoon :thumb:
:rant:(She's messed up, but for her to say she is too far gone is a sure sign that she is definitely not too far gone to realize what is and isn't considered "the lifestyle of a human being"):rant:

Then of course there's the girl in Gundam 00 wearing the stereotypical chi-pao in the first episode.
Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 1 Corinthians 20-21
