I just watched a TikTok video that claims the Japanese created characters with different hair and eye colors so they could design a wide variety of characters.
The first owner of a McDonald’s franchise in Japan marketed it by saying if Japanese people ate McDonald’s they would become tall, have white skin and blonde eyes

This white boy (Bjorn Andresen) is the inspiration of most of these bishonen (beautiful boy) characters. If anyone has watched Rose of Versaille, an older and very popular anime, the main character, Oscar, is a depiction of him.
Japanese make these characters with blonde hair, blue eyes, dress them in western attire and give them western names and then say they are based on Japanese.
this dude is just some isolationalist coper. most japanese people are occidentalist and kinda liberal and not necessality white worshipping because a lot of their beauty standards overlap with each other. a lot of japanese media takes place in a traditional japanese setting and a lot from medival europe. but anyways they 100% won since a lot of theit twists on western stuff inspires the west and is beign favored more by the west. and good example is sakamoto and his band playing around with disco rythyms and and getting more experimental and techno was made in america as a result lol. and another exxample is anime obviously.
