Pretty much the entire Hoshido side in Fire Emblem Fates. Saki Amamiya and Airan Jo from Sin & Punishment, as well as their son Isa Jo.

Like Gerudo are basically middle eastern, but they aren't at the same time. So I'm not sure if I would count that. <cite>Milkman5 posted [p:909386415] in are there ...

Milkman5 09/24/18 8:50:52 PM #6:	Oh wow. Captain Falcon is actually white. They explicitly state Goroh is Japanese. I always thought Falcon was also Japanese because they were rivals and they look the same, but Falcon actually takes his helmet off at some point is revealed to be white <cite>Milkman5 posted [p:909386575] in are there ...

Milkman5 09/24/18 8:53:36 PM #7:	So the only Asian characters in Smash Bros are the characters not from Nintendo. Well actually, Ryu and that's it.

Solar_Crimson 09/24/18 8:53:39 PM #8:	Also, Rick Wheeler from F-Zero GP Legend (the game and the anime) is called "Ryu Suzaku" in the Japanese version, so he's also Asian who was "race-lifted" into being White for the localized versions. --- Be wary of boarding the hype train, lest you end up on the ruse cruise... - nanobuilder (r/nintendo) http://backloggery.com/SolarCrimson <cite>Solar_Crimson posted [p:909386747] in are there ...
