I'll be honest, I've seen Japanese MEN cosplaying look more feminine than what Ubisoft provided so can understand their point.
Western game devs at major studios are shit at representing attractive women nowadays.
As for not Japanese, Ubisoft have constantly gotten Chinese and Japanese mixed up in promotion of this game so wouldn't be surprised if native Japanese can tell she was modelled off Chinese whereas outsiders can't tell.
You can tell by some of the hairstyles. Nothing of this is Japanese and intentionally so. If you want an authentic Japanese ninja game play Shinobido or Tenchu, a lot more fun and actually Japanese feeling.
Face modeling is a scourge on the industry. Sure she looks Japanese enough to my foreign eyes... but like a plain androgynous Jap peasant with no makeup who sweats a lot. It's funny how that is probably one of the more realistic aspects of the game, but we don't need realism here. People in games/movies/tv should be attractive unless they are supposed to be ugly. Then they should only be "tv ugly".

All of the Japanese on YouTube keep saying the game looks more Chinese than Japanese.
I think we're all obliged to take their word for it.
It hates Japan, so that tracks.

She does not look Japanese even by western standards.
