Queen of moeblobs Mio Akiyama has apparently found herself appropriated by Chinese otaku as an image character for their nation’s newly copied stealth plane, the Chengdu J-20.
The similarity is said to be both because of certain mild aesthetic similarities between the two, and because of some tenuous connection between the Akiyama Mio name and the plane.
The fact that plenty of Chinese anime fans love Mio probably helps a great deal as well…
The J-20 proper, part of China’s ongoing military build up:
The plane is thought to be the result of Chinese spies copying American stealth planes, using parts clandestinely retrieved from a stealth plane shot down over Serbia.
It has already been the subject of some original moe anthropomorphisation, in the form of the splendid display of mecha-musume shown below (most of which are apparently not by Chinese artists for some strange reason):

Really?
Its pretty damn obvious.
Resemblances abound..Mio is Mio even when she's the other Mio - but could the Chinese please come up with something of their own.
Orange Gundam, Stealth Figher J20, and Strike-figher Mio - 3 hi-tech copies that might not ever get off the ground.
Chengdu-tan's personality traits:
Diligent
Keen observer
Thrifty/Stingy
Opportunist
Stubborn
Bandwagoner
Frequently late to fashion trends ^^;
@FlyingCake,for real?
A copypasta moe-tan for a copypasta plane, chinese do really like copypaste xD
proves chinese weapons engineers are unable to create weapons that can truly be considered on par with other major nations without stealing and basically photocopying what other nations have. its almost as bad as when the soviets stole and built perfect clones of the US Flying Fortress bombers...
wonder what J20-tan will do if she finds out she is just a clone, though that wont happen with the chinese governments suffocating grip on information... i guess the normal reactions would be either break down mentally and kill yourself, or kill your creators... or both...
oh... and why is she (Mio) holding a QBZ? I know its the standard rifle of the PLA, but... when it costs double digit millions to build you, i would expect her to choose a better rifle at least... you know... spend a little extra for something that will keep you alive much better than that... at the very least, an AK74...
Oh, this plane again huh?...yeah, I remember seeing this plane when watching "The Daily Show with Jon Steward", copypasta indeed...
u guys are all fuktards.
complaining about how chinese stole blah blah blah, remember, kanji was/is a form of chinese that has apparently been borrowed.
without chinese, japanese can't even write their own name.
There's no copyright over words anywhere in the world.
Technology, military secrets, yes there is copyrights of it. It's just that it's impossible to persecute theft of military secrets. In the end theft is theft and the only creativity is in how you obtained the secret.
The plane achieves its stealth capabilities by being made entirely out of hollow plastic.
cultural copying is different than schematic copying for military secrets and commercial products. nobody owns the culture... if you want to use Kanji as an example, just look at English, it "steals" many things from pretty much every other language out there, though mostly Germanic in origin. another example of stealing writing is the arabic numeric system, you know all those lovely numbers that almost everyone uses like 1,2,3? yea, those come from ancient Arabia. then theres chinese, where they are too lazy to make up names for new things recently, so they just literally translate the english names for the items and ideas, and even make silly names for things, like a selection menu in a computer is known as a "food menu(a menu for a restaurant)".
seriously, all Ive been seeing out of Chinese weapons engineers is the copying of other nations weapons, their standard rifles were AK clones up until recently, now they use the crappy QBZ they designed which is now being phased out by ANOTHER AK clone since they found the QBZ rifles to be lacking, they use Russian T90 Tanks, they use Russian MIG fighter planes, now they steal and copy US stealth planes? not surprising given their history with weapons development, you would think that the Chinese weapons engineers just sit on their asses twiddling their thumbs all day instead of designing useful weapons...
Only the 3rd and 4th resemble Mio and I'm sure it was done on purpose, the other ones look original although she clearly is DarkTallAndBishoujo. But even so, that's not going to stop me from fapping.
That's the image where it's most painfully obvious. The resemblance on the previous one could be mere coincidence.
Now, the third image... Shimapan. So it's Mio.
More than damn obvious when the large line of simplified Chinese says I am the flying Akiyama Mio.
OMG I FOUND A RESEMBLANCE !
they are both asian....
PAK FA-tan
WHERE ARE YOU?
Ilya as PAK FA tan
slurpp....
Why so many negative comments for PAK-FA tan, It would be awesome
so Mio is now a Strike Witch! XD
And she replaces the ageing Sakamoto Mio with Akiyama Mio.....
Yes, I can see it now, and it looks fuckin awesome...
And she wields a machinegun disguised as a lefty bass guitar. Special magic attack is the Moe Moe Kyun Beam.
Looks more like an Elemental Daughter to me :-/
Seems like CAVE was able to design an actual battle unit. Well, as long as it's not Hibachi...
O_o
you are right this is NOT Mio, not at all, who made this article, stop passing off good artwork as another character just cause that character is famous.
The article explicitly states those are "original" characters.
LOL... EPIC china FAIL once again. Not an original idea in sight. Copy a fighter from the US, copy an anime character from Japan, and steal a highspeed train from France.
And the US uses the Russians to create the F22 raptor so what is your point?
Next your gonna say the Russian super plane is copied the F22 raptor?
wow... r u by any chance Russian?
The F-22's completely different to the Sukhoi line of fighters - different core principles at work.
I know it's normal to bash the Ruskies, but their fighters have got much longer ranges than US fighters and generally speaking, heftier payloads. The aircraft aren't as focused on stealth, but are generally better dogfighters, and their radar systems and pilot instrumentation are better.
The modern US designs are based around raw stealth, and even the T-50 prototypes are apparently less stealthy than the F-22, but how much of a real advantage this gives the 22 isn't known, and probably never will be - it's unlikely the two will meet in combat.
Well, are they supposed to use someone else's (japan's) anime character as their own mascot character for for their own political/business intesrests? Wouldn't that be infringing copyrights?
Please Sue China.
lol not funny -.-. to use the famous again for weapons.
So...why Mio = J20 you might ask?
Chengdu J20 = Stealth jet
Stealth = Hidden
Hidden = Shy
Shy = Sai...I mean..Mio.
The more you know...
http://img2.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/misc-ero-ix/chengdu-j-20-mecha-musume-moe-008.jpg
black rock jet fighter!
it looks more like Golden Saw Jet Fighter
I was lime BRS?!
when I saw the pic too...
Hot jets are hot.
Im going to kill fucking Mio if China goes to War with Taiwan and uses that jet.
As for the art, I think the chinese otokus did a lot better than the Japanese on this. Good job.
does this guy know what he's saying himself?
Yes, I think he's asking to get a 10m long pole shoveled up his..
he's utterly foolish
it feels so goddam weird seeing my friend's drawing on sankaku.....
It's even weird when you see your OWN art on sankaku...
Wow china even copying planes now...
Watch that jet fall apart when it lifts off LOL. Epic fail!
You'd be surprised... If it's like the small arms they export (probably much better!) then the fit and finish would be sorta rough and not confidence inspiring, but it would work just like any other.
fit and finish is one of the main requirements for stealth ^^;
but it doesn't seem to be a plane prioritizing stealth anyway:
1. no stealthy Nozzles.
2. and most importantly canards...
or how one of the YF23(the boing one) engineers in respect to stealth planes put it... "there is only one place for canards, the plane of someone else..."
Northrop not Boeing ^^; ... looks like the merger rumor messed up my memory. ^^;
Someone give this retard a slap.
Of course when I let the world know about my weapons I show them EVERYTHING.
Seriously learn about the word prototype and Add-ons.
Also this is why China owns America. Your stupidity.
wouldnt matter...sure they can copy the looks because its right there, you can observe the shape and characteristic of the plane but not its composition, which is a closely guarded secret, sure they can develop their own compounds i mean they had years to research it, but america is still leading in military tech, sure china has the largest standing army but thats all they have, numbers....russia is still the only country that can stand up to the united states
@ Anon 11:49 :
The J-20 (or whatever) doesn't _have_ to be _as_ stealthy as U.S. stealthplanes.
It just has to be stealthy _enough_ and cheap _enough_.
I'm not a mecha-musume fan, but some of those images were cute.
@Anon 13:11:
And they all have nukes.
Really? Have you lived in China bud? Have you seen their latest top tech military gear? No?
All you need is a bunch of Super HACKERS nowadays and the whole thing falls flat EVERYTHING IS OPERATED BY COMPUTERS. They are also connected by airwaves etc. So how about this for a strategy?
lol no but i do have a friend in the military, ill just say colonel you dont need to know his name, but but hes told me if china fires one nuke we have so many nuclear submarines in the china sea that we could blanket the entire country with nukes before one of their own missiles hits the western seaboard...
Hm. Can't say I'd ever like to fly a Chinese fighter jet. Be too worried about it falling apart...
yeah, like almost any electronic u own right? since mostly are made in china :o
Anon 13:28 never heard of the concept of 'outsourcing'.
It doesn't matter which country makes something. What matters is who planned the whole thing and what to use.
That's like saying KFC is the product of the entire world, when the core KFC ingredients is still a closely guarded secret only a handful people in this world know. You can breed chicken and grow up the spices yourself, but you still need the goddamn recipe.
The 'recipe' for American stealth fighters is not gonna be made public until they reach above 2 generations of the technology... or at least until the spies do their jobs. That's how Russia got to make their own nukes anyway, partly.
I don't care about any country, but the anon above me is clearly a retarded inbred asshole who comes online when his mom is not lecturing him on why adults must go out and live on their own, even though he's 40.
Anon 15:43 doesn't look before he leaps and never has heard the term "Reverse Engineering".
Bud you are clearly an asshole yourself, if you receive the product you can reverse engineer the product in question by taking it piece by piece, haven't you played with lego structures in your life? Everything is built from something.
Let say you get an KFC Chicken and reverse engineer this to make it taste the same if not better with lesser resources but will get the same result. There isn't just one way to make something.
A better example is emulators, these are small team projects to emulate the console/arcades games they wish to play on the PC.
I don't care about any country but the anon above me is an ignorant bastard who doesn't have the time to think, look or read before he writes, if people like this exist in the world it proves people are rabid animals with no sense of self.
It's nothing strange if the Jet looks like older models as it is based on older models.
When it comes to machine the only thing that is new is what is inside. If you notice, most of the latest jets look similar, that's because that kind of shape is aerodynamic just like how F1 cars look the same.
