What is the likelihood that a Japanese series will kill off one of the only major female Japanese characters?
Suzaku is the most prominent Japanese male character, but feelings about him are mixed at best.
Lelouch and C.C. are both of European decent.

Hmmm....well FoxxFire Taniguichi hasn't made popularity a factor in his series he tells the story as it is and usually they end up being memorable because of it so the basis of popularity of somewhat weak but at the same time there has been alot of anime series that killed off the major female role (Japanese or not) for the sake of storytelling, I think you should look into Gundam Seed Destiny as a prime example when you let character popularity rule the basis of the series instead of writing and storytelling.
