I've had a conversation once with my friend who plays one of the jounin, and she said she ALWAYS imagined her character as AT LEAST Mixed blood.
Because Japanese/Asians COULDN"T have light coloured eyes, and couldn't POSSIBLY have facial structure like that!!!
That was my classmates said today, I told them "who the hell has a face like that, you idiots? They aren't supposed to be realistic, you know."
Aaaaaaarg, because "a facial structure like that" is always white. I know that with mixed-race she didn't mean, I don't know, Black-Asian, or Indian-Asian, or something. Because anime characters have light colored eyes and those are white!!
(and yes, they of course have, hell, I have seen a lot of western characters in manga-anime having very distinctive facial features, bigger noses, bigger chins, droppy eyes, etc., etc. They like angular-faced women but they are drooling over female anime characters? Uhm, something isn't right.)
