...and then there's K, from Gravitation. I like 
to think of him as the stereotypical American 
stereotype. Physically, he's really tall, blonde, 
with blue eyes. He's loud-mouthed and obnoxious, 
and has an obvious accent when speaking Japanese. 
He also sticks English words in when he doesn't 
know the Japanese. But the most noticable thing 
about him (besides that he always, ALWAYS gets 
what he wants) is that he has an obsession with 
guns, and tends to shoot them off at the drop of 
a hat. Frankly, I don't blame them for this 
stereotype ^^;;

Of course, really, I think it's more of the 
combined fascination/disgust that the Japanese 
seem to have for all foreigners. Here's the 
perfect example, from Hana Yori Dango:

In one of the story arcs, there's a character 
named Thomas. Thomas is German, if I recall, and 
he has blonde hair and blue eyes. When our 
character first sees him, she is enthralled by 
his exotic looks, and so is a friend with her. 
He's sitting in a cafe, eating, and they approach 
him as he is about to be served (amazed by his 
blue eyes)...but when the food gets there, he 
slurps it down in a disgusting manner. He then 
proceeds to burp and fart at the table, wondering 
why everyone is so upset...it's natural, you 
should let it go when the urge comes, right?

Somehow, that works perfectly...
