I just realized that there are few explicit East Asian characters in video games. Let alone protagonists. Most Japanese games either take place in the West, or have an anime art style that makes their race ambiguous at best.
The only examples I can think of are Mortal Kombat series, and games set in historical Japan or China.
Jordan Cruz
Mirror's Edge
Zachary Price
Sleeping Dogs
Austin Rogers
Shenmue
Nioh has Japanese characters but an English protagonist.
Yakuza.
Those are all the ones that I can think of.
Landon Lee
Shadow Warrior
Bentley Brown
Dynasty Warriors
Carter Miller
The entire samurai warriors series. Nobunaga's ambition. Total war Shogun.
David Moore
characters in japanese media are typically japanese.
Alexander Stewart
most Japanese games give the characters asian names so they clearly are meant to be asian
Oliver Allen
GTA Chinatown Wars
Evan Price
Jade Empire
Dylan Cooper
Street Fighter has tons of Hong Kong and Japanese characters, but almost none of them look it. Ryu for example looks like Guts.
Mortal Kombat in contrast, the characters actually look like their nationality.
Hunter Peterson
Hokuto no Ken games
Daniel Martinez
The Onimusha series
Brody Evans
Mei Ling from Metal Gear?
Cooper Robinson
Aforementioned anime art style. Though it's an 80's manga style, it does still render their ethnicity really ambiguous. Before watching the show, I thought they were all Americans.
Daniel Evans
DID YOU EVEN LOOK AT THE FUCKING PICTURE?
WHO THE FUCK ON IT EXCEPT RAOH AND MAMIYA DOESN'T LOOK ASIAN TO YOU? THEY ALL HAVE CHARACTERISTIC ASIAN EYES YOU DUMB NIGGER
Carter Young
The Rin sisters from Anarchy Reigns I guess
Christopher Thompson
Now I know what your problem is, you're so fucking brainwashed with the stereotypical racist depiction of asians that you can't even tell an idealized asian is still very much clearly asian, kill yourself. Get cancer and die cause literally nobody there looks western other than the woman on the left and the edgelord in helmet
Henry Kelly
> tfw when you can tell why ken got so fucking mad his woman got taken away from him just by looking at that picture
the only person who was madder was the "wife taker"
Ryan Ross
I'm sorry I can't hear you over the sound of literal cucking.

Nathaniel Cox
She never gave in to Shin and his shitty gifts though
Cooper Lee
She did give in to Raoh though :^)

Games like Mirrors Edge, Mortal Kombat X, and Sleeping Dogs were made by teams of white men. So it makes the situation even worse.
Grayson Davis
Forgetting someone?
Angel Watson
Even funnier. Games made by actual asians make them white. Like they're ashamed of how they actually look.
SF characters look white as hell. Actually if I had to guess, Chunners would be Latina.
Colton Carter
Most Japanese game characters have Japanese names.
Aaron Stewart
No she didn't. Raoh managed to somehow double reverse cuck himself by saving her life with his own and then killing himself to fix the atmosphere, so Ken could smash it one last time.
Nicholas Reyes
>Actually if I had to guess, Chunners would be Latina. Look at any of the official artwork, particularly those done by her creator Akiman. She's Chinese.
Isaac Williams
none of the girls in that game look chinese
Nicholas Ward
Explain where Ryu comes from then. Cause even Buronson and Hara very heavily hint at Yuria being his mother. It can't be Reina because she ded.
Austin Gomez
>muh artwork
In game she's always looked like a latina.
Jacob Taylor
>Rei's sister is raped by dogmen until she goes blind >Mamiya wants Ken's dick and not Rei's >Rei jobs to a fucking cape >gets fingered by Toki to stay alive and it hurts so bad his hair turns white >his greatest rival was really just a fag with a crush >blow up alone in a cuckshed while Mamiya is outside
Rei.. had a hard life.
Dylan Rodriguez
>>blow up alone in a cuckshed while Mamiya is outside Mamiya was all over his dick by that point though. She stopped wanting Ken when she realized he only cares about Yuria and went for second best aka Rei.
>jobs to a fucking cape You mean Raoh's big black co--- finger.
Still better than Ken who has to raise his wive's son just so that he can eventually take revenge on Ken for Raoh's death and succeed him as the true successor to Hokuto Shinken.
Ken is the cuckest.
>tfw nobody ever remembers Shu
Ian Morris
I guess OP got BTFO.
Benjamin Robinson
How so? Chun li and a bunch others are white looking.
Henry Brooks
> Still better than Ken who has to raise his wive's son just so that he can eventually take revenge on Ken for Raoh's death and succeed him as the true successor to Hokuto Shinken. HUUUUH?
Levi Long
and every other game mentioned in this thread?
Caleb Myers
Ignore him, he didn't actually read the manga

Tekken is pretty good for chink looking chinks.
Adrian Brown
Nearly all japanese games would be Asian if stated other wise.
Asher Brooks

>Rei's sister is raped by dogmen until she goes blind >Rei.. had a hard life. Not as hard as the sister apparently.
