Anonymous asked:
Do you have a headcanon for what ethnicities the Pokémon anime characters are?
I do~! It kinda bothers me how in the West we just kinda assume that all anime characters are white just because they’re light skinned. If the setting is in Japan, or the area is based on Japan, I personally like to think the characters are Japanese.
- Satoshi is Okinawan
- Kasumi is quarter Japanese/three quarters Caucasian
- Takeshi is Filipino/Japanese (half-half)
- Musashi is Japanese
- Kojiro is Japanese/Caucasian (half-half)
- Other characters (not depicted)
- Haruka and Masato are Japanese
- Hikari is Japanese/Korean
- Iris is Jamaican
- Dento is Caucasian
