Notably the local production's actors will be Japanese even if the character is canonically White, because the production is done in Japan and it wouldn't make sense to cast some foreign actor who can barely speak Japanese and nobody recognizes in a movie you're making to make money.
This sometimes causes issues on the other side of the coin. Attack on Titan is mean to be 99.99% white europeans/caucasians with a literal sole half asian girl in the cast for reasons of plot. However being homemade everyone was Japanese. Not that I think it lasted long enough for that plotline to actually manifest.
lol, they didn't even follow the original plot of the manga if you're talking about the live action movies. it was a horrible adaptation
live action Attack on Titan is the most hilarious
Mikasa is "the last asian"
entire cast is asian
