When Korean servers launched, we got Ahri, will we get a Japanese themed champion?

Ahri is based off the Kitsune, which is based in Japanese mythology.

Actually, she is based of a Kumiho, which is of Korean origin.

It's kind of like a Kitsune, only with more eating human livers.

DestínumOct 21, 20151 votes

Yeah, but the difference is that a Kitsune is Japanese, while a Kumiho is Korean (which was my point).

Yes, I was agreeing with you.

There are Chinese (I think that's where the mytho originated), Korean and Japanese fox myths. Ahri is based on Korean one.

A Geisha style champion would be interesting champion

Yasuo is the most weeb champ in LoL atm.

I don't think we need another one that quickly.

That being said, there are already enough Japanese themed champions in LoL (and quite a few for China). So if anything, we need more SEA, India and Middle East (Egyptian mythos like Nasus/Anubis actually belongs to Africa) inspired champion in terms of Asia region.

There is enough weeb stuff in game already.

Dang why so many downvotes? Another Japanese/Ionian champion would be great. I love their themes.

Yeah but Ionia is pretty LoL's Asia, maybe champs from South East Asian, Middle Eastern, some local part of China like Tibetan and Indian legends (and more) would be nice.
