A [[Kawaisa|cute]] Chinese girl, usually with a [[Just a Stupid Accent|variable accent]]. Nearly guaranteed to dress at some point in a [[Qipao]] and put her hair up in a pair of [[Odango]]. A very high proportion (even for anime) will [[All Chinese People Know Kung Fu|know martial arts, always in a Chinese style]].▼

[[Daddy's Little Villain|Evil Chinese girls]] grow up to be [[Dragon Lady|Dragon Ladies]]. Or they might have a [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter|change of heart]] after years of helping their [[Yellow Peril|evil mad scientist fathers]].
Not to be confused with a [[China Girl]].
{{examples}}
==
* The prototypical Anime Chinese Girl is possibly Lynn Minmay from ''[[Macross]]'' (Lin Minmei in ''[[Robotech]]''), although her this is only emphasized in certain episodes. Technically, Minmay's [[But Not Too Foreign|half-Japanese]].
* Shampoo, from ''[[Ranma ½]]''.
Line 53 ⟶ 54:
* I-Pin from [[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]] is a good example of this, {{spoiler|particularly once she's hit with the Ten Year Bazooka.}}
* Chyna from ''[[Afganisu-tan|Afghanis-tan]], as she is a [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] of China.
* Vivian Wong from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''. Aside from having her hair up in [[Odango]], she goes around waving fans and a duel disk, wears a yellow qipao and apparently knows enough kung-fu to fix Grandpa's back.. or break it, as the case may be. She also has an anime-only Monster Card called [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Kung_Fu_Nyan_Nyan Kung-Fu Nyan-Nyan] that fits the Trope too. At some point, [[Lovely Angels|she and Mai Kujaku]] duel the Paradox brothers on the Great Wall of China.
* Li-en in ''[[Gash Bell]]''.
* Ma Renka in ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]''.
Line 70 ⟶ 71:
* Kou Shuurei and all the other female characters in ''[[Saiunkoku Monogatari]]'', which is a fictional version of [[Stereotypes of Chinese People|China]] after all. However, they all wear Han period costumes and not the traditional ''qipao'' of the Manchu period.
==
* Aki Chung-Feng and Shenhua "The [[Dragon Lady]]" Jiang from [[One Piece: Parallel Works]]. While Aki is [[The Ingenue]] who is usually dressed in a [[Qipao]], the [[Dragon Lady]]... [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Is a Dragon Lady]].
Line 83:
** Then, there's the ''android assistant'' Colon from ''[[Choujuu Sentai Liveman]].'' A Chinese robot girl... who moonwalks. And won't hesitate to hop into one of the vehicles and make some [[People in Rubber Suits]] eat missiles when the Rangers are in trouble. And her (removable) [[Odango]]s do stuff, too.
** Lin from ''[[Gosei Sentai Dairanger]]''.
* "Snow White" in ''[[Magnum, P.I.]]'' is one of the biggest and scariest drug princesses in the Pacific. [[Little Miss Badass|At age 19]]. She is pictured as an underworld contact when Magnum wants information about an unusually expensive hit that few would have the resources for.
== Theatre ==
Line 124 ⟶ 125:
* Hotel receptionist/Secret Agent Xian Mei in ''[[Dead Island]]''.
* Leinyan from the ''[[Do Don Pachi]]'' series wears a stereotypical chinese dress, and one piece of artwork for ''DoDonPachi DaiOuJou Black Label EXTRA'' shows her serving dim sum at the mess hall.
* Peach cosplays as one in one stage of ''[[Princess Peach Showtime!]]''.
