The most popular Chinese girls in anime (whether through actual heritage or just their tendency to wear Chinese attire) have served as the topic of this insightful ranking, shocking few as one pretty girl from a revered show snatches first place over an older franchise.

Of course Miss China from Spirit of Wonder isn’t here.
Where’s Su Mucheng?!
Where is Meiling Li from CCS?
Kagura’s not even from Earth.
FMA, Magi, and Dragon Ball don’t even have a country called “China”.
Street Fighter isn’t even an anime.
WTF is this list?
SF isnt an anime? LOL are you 10?
There is a Street Fighter anime though…
Damn you kids don’t know anything about the 80’s & 90’s. There are tons of Street Fighter Anime series & movies.
…Magi’s supposed to be based off the Arabian Nights mythology. China exists. It’s just set in the middle east.
The middle east is pretty close to Asia, and when the Arabian Nights was written it was written by the Persians. The Persians were taken over by the Arabs and they took the stories as their own. When the original was written Persia owned more than half the continent and was the largest empire known to man. That would probable put it even closer to China than our map puts it (Persia/Iran) today.
Isn’t Minmay a naturalized born Japanese? Her parents are just Chinese who moved to Japan during the war.
I thought Minmay is half Chinese half Japanese ethnic. Her father is Chinese while mother is Japanese.
