As the oldest country in the series, China has seen a lot over the years. He’s known for having a long history, the roots of Asian culture, and the largest population on earth. He has a rather serious personality and is very superstitious, but can be immature at times. Food is known as being his first priority in life, and he even complains if food has a certain pattern of tastes and flavors. China is very artistic and can even paint a picture on a strand of hair, but is absolutely terrible at drawing anime and manga. A fan of Hello Kitty, pandas, and other cute things, China has a “friend” named “Shinatty-chan,” who is an old man dressed in a knockoff Hello Kitty costume.

China raised Japan and treated him affectionately in the past. Japan eventually turned against him, and attacked him with a katana in the dead of night (which then started a war), leaving a large scar on his back. Hong Kong was also raised by China, but was later taken away from him by England. Although he tries acting like a big brother to the other Asian nations, they never treat him as such. He ends almost every sentence with “aru,” which is a Japanese stereotype for a Chinese accent. When around England, he is noted to end his sentences in “ahen,” meaning “opium” (in reference to the Opium Wars).
