Gong Xi Fa Tsai, it’s the Year of the Rooster! Everyone here at Sea Slugs! wishes you a Happy Chinese New Year ^^.
And just for the occasion, anyone have any favorite “Chinese” characters in an anime series? Currently only Shampoo (Ranma 1/2), Li Shaoran (Card Captor Sakura), and Ku Fei (Mahou Sensei Negima) are popping into my mind, but surely there are more!

There was some stereotypical chinese girl in Gatekeepers, but I don’t remember the name…
And there were all those Chinese Go players in Hikaru no Go too.
Tenten and Rock Lee from Naruto seem pretty much Chinese to me. Tenten’s name sounds like those typical cute-girl chinese names where one sound is repeated twice. Her clothes are chinese-looking too.
Rock Lee needs no explanation. XD
Myao from Kazemakase.
Shienron / Shinru Beruvedia from E’s Otherwise were pretty cool :]
. . . not to mention Ryouroumen-san from Yakitate (Woo for assassin / master ramen chef!) XD
Hmm……..Chinese anime characters. Can’t think of any except for Wu Fei from Gundam Wing. He is not exactly my fav though.
Is the new drummer in Beck chinese?
Wow, someone else actually watched Kasemakase?
There’s also the abomination of all female leads in anime of all time, the ultimate annoying whiny AAARGH-CAN-I-KILL-YOU-NOW idiot, Lin Minmay from Macross! AAAAAHhhhhh…. It’s MASOCHISTIC, I tell you, watching the original series..
The Paper Sisters from R.O.D the TV of course! Anita King, Maggie Mui, and Michelle Chan, the ultimate Chinese blonde.
