Aren't they like 5'7? So 6'0 would be very tall there. 5'10 would be the equivalent of 6'0 in a western country

That's what i thought but then again they also hold 6ft to a high standard there. its the equivalent of making somebody 6ft instead of 6'2 most women prefer the latter

Most shonen mcs i've seen are 5'6-5'9, they get taller when you get into seinen anime like berserk

But ones like Luffy, Goku, Saitama are never super tall

5’10 is pretty tall in Japan

Then i must be a giant

 

[DarkTriadBeliever]

Also, if you want to see tall characters, romance series written by women always have tall mcs

Men draw self inserts typically, Women draw the man they would want

Only lelouch

Onizuka is 5’9”

Anyway it’s because 5’10” is the equivalent of 6’0” here. Tall/above average but without height being a defining trait of the character.

 

[Lord Shadow]

zoomer average height in Japan is like 180 cms so its kinda accurate

 

[RRM]

Only lelouch

hinata too

 

[Latinolooksmaxxer]

i see most anime characters being manlets because of shonen target audience and japs being manlets themselves on average

 

[polavis]

narutos like 6ft in boruto though

 

[Ogen]

Because pretty-boy twink frames can look off when tall in certain art styles. Also, the main character might need to be relatable to the audience to some extent, like in the case of Onizuka, and height is a character design trait that could disrupt that.

Goku, luffy and saitama are 176cm which is tall in japan, although goku and saitama look 6’0+ tall, they look tall because 176(5’9) is tall in japan and equivalent of 6’0
