| If you want korean characters, go read a manhwa. I also don't see characters from my country in anime and I don't complain about it. |
| Very specific op. Even if they were Korean they'd still speak Japanese so. |

| You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/. The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish. Show your support to your favorite artist if you can! ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

| Jeez so many people attacking OP, just chill I think it's a good question because I HAVE seen Chinese culture mentioned more than Korea. While China has had more influence in history, Koreans too came over to teach Japanese people (although it's a lesser known fact). However, more importantly, there is a sizable population of Koreans in Japan (Zainichi, like someone mentioned, and "newcomers" who are lumped in with the Zainichi, along with the Koreans who immigrate from Korea). Yes, there is tension between the two countries so that's a possible answer. I'd love to hear more, but it's just a group of idiots saying "OMG I'M (this nationality) BUT IM NOT ASKING THIS QUESTION OMG STOP" -_- |

They don't understand the relationships and history these countries share and are bringing their off-topic comments to bring this topic down. I've gotten tired of dismissing everyone of them. |
TomoyaOkazaki19 said: I personally haven't come across any Chinese characters in anime yet. Most of the time their either Japanese or a foreigner which usually equates to them being american. Im not personally bothered if or not we have Koreans in anime. There is quite a number of Chinese characters in anime. Particularly in martial arts anime. Be_Gentle_Onegai said: Brb said: Taiwan is also a neighboring country. Why aren't you complaining about that too? Why don't we throw Russia in there as well There is a healthy amount of Russians in anime. Brave Witches was even set in mostly in and around the city known as Saint-Petersburg now (this city was renamed a lot, in the historical period in question, it was known as Leningrad). Seiken Tsukai no World Break had an arc set in Russia. Asobi ni Iku Yo had the MCs buying an ICBM from a friendly Russian general. Pseudo-Russians were the second strongest team in Girls und Panzer. We have an anime made specially for us, First Squad. And is I start counting individual characters, I would never finish. Tsumugoi said: Why does it even fucking matter whether *insert race here* is in an anime? Yes, it's pleasant to see one's compatriots in anime, if the anime doesn't screw it too much. You just need a healthy sense of humor to take things like Kuril Islands being given to Japan in GitS (and becoming a some kind of slum), or soldiers in Zettai Karen Children reading magazines advertising matryoshka dolls (matryoshka dolls are the thing we sell to tourists, kids these days play with western-style dolls like Barbie). RnDNEET021 said: Wondering why Gaijins still haven't nuke North Korea.. before WWIII Well, it would be an easy matter to invade North Korea. But what would be the point? They don't have anything worth taking. Even the land is ruined and isn't growing enough food. Quick story idea: have a corporation or something like that invade North Korea and turn it into evil laboratory for illegal experiments. |

Nihongo uses some Simplified Chinese Characters, that's why there are Chinese characters in Anime. While Korean characters are not used in the Japanese language. Next some people will be making new threads asking why there are no Russian characters, Arabic characters or Tamil characters in Anime ......... slaps @CoolitzHubertXVI with a paper fan In this thread, we're talking about fictional people, not letters.

We can take all the bombs from Kim Jong un It's not like nuclear countries want his bombs. Every other nuclear state has better bombs, and they are restricted by all kinds of treaties about how much bombs they are allowed to have. |

Is there a reason for this? Comfort women mate, google them. Koreans and Japanese folk don't get along. Then explain why there are so many anime/manga with Chinese-characters in it? |
| Jesus guys, this thread is from 2017. Just let it die already! |
| Good question OP. To be honest I want to know also. I can only think of AkaYona since the characters have Korean names. IamAhmed said: There was a korean team in inazuma 11. But I guess now they should make an anime on BTS or BLACKPINK Oh gawd please no \\\\=<°÷\=<==>>{^©€ |
| The last time they tried to do one (Korea from Hetalia), it received a lot of backlash. Even if Hetalia characters are literally made to be a stereotypical parody of every country, they still got offended somehow. I guess that's why they just don't risk it since Koreans will find fault in Korean portrayals in Japanese media, stemming from age old cultural and historical conflict. |

| Because Koreans look not wildly different from Japanese and their language is similar to Japanese plus of course all the hatred among some Japanese against Koreans which would cut into proffits. |

| I guess it's the same reason greek TV shows don't feature a lot of turks. |

| I think its because Japanese and Korean people hates eachother. Then again Japanese and Chinese people hates eachother aswell, yet there are a lot of anime with Chinese characters and set in China. So i really dont know why there are barely any Korean characters. |

Japanese and Chinese people don't like each other either, but that didn't stop them from making characters of out of their country.
Except Korea is a neighboring country, so not irrelevant.

| @21_Savage I've seen a few Russians in anime. Not common, but more than you'd expect. |
| Because it is not attractive, if you are going to use a foreign character, you use an American, French, Russian, English, German, etc. There are many characters of those nationalities. |
