Are Naruto and his dad Minato supposed to be asian? They've both got blonde hair and blue eyes. That makes NO F**KING SENSE. Unless they're not supposed to be asian or something...but that wouldn't make sense even MORE. What person in this asian anime isn't going to be asian? And dont even bring up Sakuras hair color, or Sasukes hair style (looks like permanent *** hair).

Naruto having Blonde hair, Blue Eyes, and an over-all Caucasianyness to him is to help the show appeal to the non-Asian audience, I would assume.

One of anime techniques. See how they use warm and bright colors to main characters to attract attention and dark or neutral colors to villains. An example is Goku wearing same uniform color as Naruto which is orange and yellow. Vegeta in dark blue so as Sasuke. It's how they differ every character in every anime.

Well, if they put completely Asian-looking people as characters, it will not have the same appeal...That's pretty much one of the numerous factors why Real Movies made out of animation don't work since they looked way too asian...but that's just a guess! :p

Also, the risk is proved that indeed it attracts more people. There are some like the Hyuuga clan, some Uchihas or Tenten or Kabuto and some others look like Asian a bit...but just tell me how many of those figure in the Characters Polls? Almost none if not one! Conclusion: It's good as it is! xd

Oh no, don't get me wrong! I'm not hatin on the series, I was just wondering why they had blonde hair and blue eyes lol. My friend told me once, that it was because asian people are obsessed with blonde hair blue eyes...but I think she was just saying that lol

Asian? What does having blue eyes/blonde hair have to do with being asian? America has that too lol But anyways, I don't compare anyone in anime to a race. They're in their own world XD

Anyways, I could care less about race here.
