a bit contradictory? :) i assume you mean no chi throwers n stuff?
how about
whilst not immortals or undead, a nice bunch
of "heroes" :)
sun tzu(sp)
bhoddidharma (he who attained nirvana at the henan shaolin temple
and credited with being father to most forms of wu shu that
stemmed from the fukien & henen shaolin temples)
the dagda (immortal s/gods from irish mythology)
prince yamato take (japanese folktale)
jason aeson (jason and the argonaugts)
perseus (sone of zeus, king of immortals. ancient greek)
siegfried (scandanavian, you know, the norns etc)
beowulf (slaying of grendel, scandanavian)
yuki-onna (well knowm japanese folktale)
uraschimataro (uraschimataro and the turtle, japanese
folk tale. turtle takes him underwater and he lives for
300 hundered years and comes back to land to find everyone eh
knows dead. fits your bill?)
whilst not being anime+manga characters a lot of anime+manga
draw stories from these myths and folktales and all are
very interesting characters from that perspective.
