Hence, their full character names are Italy Veneziano and Italy Romano respectively. Italy Veneziano represents the northern half of the country, while his older brother Romano represents the southern half. In 2008, he received the name Feliciano Vargas.

He uses his adorable ways and cute face to charm girls he meets. His artistry and love of pasta and pizza are references to stereotypical Italian culture.

In the series, he is depicted at various points as the infant grandson of the Roman Empire and is recognized as one of the weakest characters in the series as well as a carefree and cowardly soldier who often surrenders without a fight, usually by waving a white flag. Italy Veneziano ( г‚¤г‚їгѓЄг‚ўгѓґг‚§гѓЌгѓ„г‚Јг‚ўгѓјгѓЋ Itaria VeneziДЃno), usually shortened to just Italy ( г‚¤г‚їгѓЄг‚ў Itaria) is the primary protagonist and the title character, portrayed as a bright, energetic, and mostly sweet young man.

Main article: List of Hetalia: Axis Powers characters As of January 8, 2010, the anime series' international distribution is being handled by Funimation.

The series was later adapted into drama CDs, and an anime series created by Studio Deen has also begun streaming online. As of May 2012 the English-language version of the manga was published by Tokyopop via Right Stuf Inc. Both printed volumes published so far have topped The New York Times manga best seller list. English translations of the first two volumes have been published by Tokyopop in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. Himaruya originally created Hetalia as a webcomic, and so far six tankЕЌbon have been published by Gentosha Comics, the first on March 28, 2008, the second on December 10, 2008, the third on May 20, 2010, the fourth on June 30, 2011, and the fifth on July 31, 2012. Historical, political, economic, and military interaction between countries is generally represented in Hetalia as social interactions and misunderstandings between the characters. The series often uses satire and light-hearted comedy to reinterpret well-known events as well as less common historical and cultural trivia. The main storyline's events occur during World War II, but the vast majority of the comics take place during other historical events, modern holidays, or at no specific time whatsoever. Hetalia ( гѓг‚їгѓЄг‚ў) is a portmanteau combining hetare ( гѓг‚їгѓ¬, Japanese for 'useless' or 'pathetic' in a cute or endearing way) and 'Italia' ( г‚¤г‚їгѓЄг‚ў, Itaria, Japanese for 'Italy'). The character roster is large and far from complete, but the main cast is primarily the countries which made up the Axis powers and Allies of World War II-namely Italy (North Italy in particular), (Western) Germany, Japan, United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, and Canada. Both positive and negative cultural stereotypes form part of each character's personality. Characters are personifications of countries, regions such as Hong Kong, and micronations with little reference to other national personifications. The series' main presentation is as an often over-the-top allegory of political and historic events as well as more general cultural comparisons. Hetalia: Axis Powers ( Japanese: гѓг‚їгѓЄг‚ў Axis Powers, Hepburn: Hetaria Akushisu PawДЃzu) is a Japanese webcomic, later adapted as a manga and an anime series, by Hidekaz Himaruya.
