The Japanese, at least as far as generalizing anime and manga is concerned, don't particularly care for logic when it comes to ethnic appearances.

Hence you get drawings of Japanese natives with blonde hair, blues eyes and are 6 feet tall. And in some cases you get Japanese natives with blue hair, GIGANTIC eyes and are 9 feet tall.

Compared to most character designs done by actual Japanese people, I found the Shredder looked convincingly Oriental.
