So do you believe that Kubo intended to have Ichigo be a white man with living in Japan with a Japanese name with parents who also have Japanese names?
Yes, it happens literally all the time. In fact, a few names in Bleach are Spanish. Like Menos Grande And Wekos mundo. I don’t know if I spelled them right but those are the only two I can think of atm.

And I would imagine they were meant to be Spanish. Why else give them Spanish, German, and Japanese names?

So which characters in Bleach were Japanese then?
 

Yeah right

I think the only confirmed ethnicity is chad. Half Mexican, half Japanese.

I have a serious question.

You said "I know that" to me saying "What you just described is wrong." You then went on to re-assert the argument that you said you knew was wrong.
Lmfao no, I said “I know” to you describing one of the reasons why mangakas in the past had portrayed their characters as white people. :sdo:

And then I proceeded to break down your idiocy my following comment.

And I would imagine they were meant to be Spanish. Why else give them Spanish, German, and Japanese names?

What the **** aren’t you getting? Lmao it’s really strait forward and self explanatory.

I know that.

A few on the cartoon side aren’t white.

Clearly it's not straightforward if you're saying that Ichigo is white and I'm saying he's Asian.

So if Ichigo is white, then which Bleach characters would you consider to be Asian?
I can’t remember every character in the series, I stopped reading the series long ago. With that being said, I can’t recall anyone that looked Asian.

They're not? Aang is Tibetan-based. Korra is Inuit-based. Jack is Japanese; I believe Jake Long is Chinese. Rex is Hispanic. Those are the ones I know, and aren't white, and they have distinct features that separates them from each other.

Ok, so all of the characters you could recall in Bleach were intended to be white by Kubo?
Most are white, some looked black and one looked Mexican or Hispanic.

Would you be happy if everyone looked like this?

To be honest with you, I’m not effected either way. :Sparks:

I think the cast should be whatever depicts the manga characters most accurately.

Your example of an all asian-cast with a lead white male has already been done before and flopped horrendously. Dragon Ball Evolution.
That movie was the epitome of garbage, I remember going to see it and the entire theater booing. Everything was just horrible lol, even the Asian cast mates didn’t look the part.

I should have made an actual collage. Powderpuff girls, the simpsons, amazing world of gumball, regular show, family guy, etc. they are all white yes? The look 100% white?

The only show I can say looks 100% white is King of the Hill. All features are represented really close. But compare that to Americans dad. KOTH eyes are so small that they might as well be Asian next to American dad.

So most of the characters with Japanese names, who live in Japan, written by a Japanese mangaka are not Asian, but are instead meant to be white?
As I’d said here:
:sdo:

Ichigo’s dad is a white man and his mother’s white also. And so are both of his sisters. Sure he’s Asian by citizenship but visually he’s white.
Lmfao why is that hard for you to accept? It’s reality.

Ok, and you think that is more plausible than those characters being Asian? That's pretty implausible.

Earlier you said this to me, which ironic because what you're insinuating is a complete suspension of disbelief. It's a much much farther reach than what I said.

Stop, that’s a reach. Mangakas can do what they want, and if they want white characters living in Japan then that’s what’s going to happen.

So everyone agrees that Yoruichi is not black? She doesn’t have kinky hair, full lips, big butt/wide hips, nose is too small.
No, she’s black. :Sparks:

You’re being willfully ignorant lmfao but answer this, does Ichigo’s dad look like a white person?

Well, the main roster of Regular Show consists of a bird, a raccoon, a sentient lollipop, a yeti, and a gumball machine so. Gumball's character roster is a series of animals and animated objects so...

Willfully ignorant? By me not agreeing with your idea that most of the Bleach characters aren't Japanese? Ok. Whatever.

And no, I don't think he does. I think he looks like a cartoon character who's supposed represent a Japanese person in Kubo's style.
