%%* Mithril from ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic!''
* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' usually has varied nationalities among its characters. Curiously, it's very rare for the main character to be Japanese ([[ButNotTooForeign even partially]]).
** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' had Amuro (either Canadian or Mexican depending on version of the story), Bright (from Hong Kong... unclear if he's of British or Chinese descent), Ryu Jose (Japanese-Latino), Mirai Yashima and Hayato Kobayashi (both Japanese), as well as a number of Space Colonists.
** ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]'' had a unusually (at the time of the series) high variety of races amongst the recurring cast. The main character, Usso, is European, but Shakti, the female lead, is of African descent, as are a large number of side characters.
