You know when people say Naruto characters are japanese..... and etc. And when they are drawn as chinese or Japanese they look ugly af. Well probably due to because they aren't all Japanese looking .

Hashirama: North Eastern Indian

Orochimaru: The guy who played Harry potter.. but just with Long Hair..

Tobirama: Same as Hashirama / or just a white tan dude.

Choji : Samoan O_O

Sakura: White girl with pink hair

Killer B : Black dude with blonde hair of course

Tsunade: White lady.

Neji: white boy


List can keep going on forever. X_X I have no idea why people say Naruto characters are Japanese looking.

They're not drawn to look japanese, they're drawn with the intention of making their appearance appealing to people all over the world, they're usually japanese in the Anime though, even if they don't look it. O.T Ino & Sakura are white as hell!

They speak Japanese, thats pretty much it.. in the anime. In the English Dub.. they aren't even close to Japanese.

I think Kishi is awesome for it. When you meet a shinobi from another village/country, they actually look different, ie Kumo.

Hashirama has the black hair (I think?) and Tobirama's eyes are rather sharp looking...

Wouldn't it be a bit of a stereotype to say that all Japanese people look the same?

Indians have long black hair... O_O. And also, they look normal too me though X_X.

Main traits are the same are they not? Unless you can prove to they are not. Now if its a mix between a Japanese and etc then its a different story.. But we all Japanese people bear a resemblance to Mong/Chinese/ Viet and etc

I mean its not a stereotype but just reality.. Some eastern Indians and Mexicans look a like.

I think Uchihas are supposed to be Japanese. I mean, black hair, pale skin.
