just watched 3 different anime that all had a character like this, playing a JRPG with a character like this, just watched a preview of an upcoming OVA im looking forward and they introduced a character like this, like what is the deal?!?!?
@Uberprinny no lie food be lookin' good in anime these days mein gott, but is it really a ganguro thing? I though ganguro referred to the whole nine yards of tan + crazy make up + crazy clothes + obnoxious attitude, or am i mistaken? Like i woudln't call Ikumi from food wars ganguro, but she definitely has the tan skin + white hair thing down (well i guess it;s light blonde but u know what i mean)
@SaihateDYNAMO I assume the Vanessa you're referring to is Miss Lewis from virtua fighter (btw is she tanned or is actually black? her VF4 incarnation would point to the latter but we actually don't know where she's from canonically, but with a name like Vanessa Lewis I always assumed she was African American) but who the heck is Elena?
@Camel with 2 thumbs not really. From what I gather, ganguro are tan-skinned girls with heavy makeup wearing blonde wigs. They also imitate western culture doing something like that. I hope they hold the engrish. X.x
Vanessa is odd as she has a stage in Brazil yet is a security guard for the Bryant family. She should reside where she works unless Jacky went somewhere in Brazil for a business matter.
The second I read the status update Yuyaki came to my mind from Senran Kagura. Guess that a lot of animes/anime games are going to have a tanned character with white hair from now on.
