I guess it boils down to what you as the fic author thing people searching on the "Canon Character of Color" tag are actually looking for.

I get what you're saying here. The whole construct of the Person Of Color requires (or seems to require?) a power structure to serve as its context. A Japanese person in Japan doing in-Japan things is not, generally speaking, operating in the face of a power structure that systematically oppresses them because of their race.

So I guess I agree with you. I wouldn't use that tag on my anime fic in the case of an all-Japanese-cast-in-Japan canon.

Of course, there do exist anime where there are undeniably characters of color, but that's not what you're talking about anyway.

It's an interesting problem.
