Looking for Actual Anime 3D Figure Models that can be Ported to DAZ

Hey there, so I'm looking for a legit looking anime-styled 3D Figure, specifically something like in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbhEAH3eA8k
I'm not talking specifically about the quality/texture/rendering of it, but the shape and shaping of them. I'm looking for figures like these that can be altered and can have their body types changed in DAZ.
I've tried the AIKO and HIRO series on here (3, 5 and 6 Specifically) and not to be rude (since I know Aiko has her fans) but these models aren't anime figures. They're pretty much creepy bug-eyed Bratz dolls, which it seem a lot of the "anime" models on here have going on.
So does anyone know where on the net I should be looking for 3D anime figures that I can port and shape in DAZ? Been looking myself with little luck.

To clarify it a bit more, I'm looking for anime figures styled and sculpted like the ones in that youtube video that I can morph and shape like a Gen 2 figure (breast size, height, body-type, etc) Either in Daz or a another 3D software that offers the ability to pose them in any way, move the camera on them at any distance/angle, and able to take screenshots of for pose reference purposes.
The first vendor that comes to mind would be: http://www.daz3d.com/3d-universe
Any of the morphs that work with Genesis or G2 can of course be mixed 'n matched with the rest of the morphs one has for the main figure.
Somewhere in the free thread were a set of anime eyes for one of the characters, I don't have the link handy.
Oh yes, and this one: http://www.daz3d.com/hitomi-3d-anime-girl-for-genesis
What about Keiko?

I second Patience55's recommendations. As far as anime eyes are concerned, there is this, for Aiko 4 and Hiro 4: http://www.daz3d.com/animeyes-for-a4-h4 The textures should work on A5, H5, and Hitomi as well, as Genesis can use 4th Generation textures.
There are some other figures or characters out there too, like Near Me, BelBel and ChibiBel, Anime Girl Kristin, etc., that might be closer to what you are looking for.
Daz has characters labeled as anime characters, but they do not have anime characters in the sense you mean. Plenty of people here will argue against that, buit the closest they've come is Aiko 3. Since then it's been stylized cartoon, but not "google 3D anime" anime. I asumme you mean something like this: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/inmzy-M9fS4/maxresdefault.jpg That's just something I googled, I don't know who made it.
The best I know of is Sera by futepen: https://poserdazfreebies.orain.org/wiki/Sera but that's not a genesis figure and I think has very little morphs or clothing available. There is also futepen's nearme and Chocolate's Haru and Natu, but I never bought them. The similarities here are that they are Japanese vendors, though Chocolate's website is explicitly erotic, as are the figures.
I made a post like this a while back and it turned into a convoluted debate about "how do you define what 'anime' looks like and it infuraited me. Google anime, click on images. That. Not Akita, not any of fringe stuff. Anime from 2015. Sorry to rant, remembering that topic lit me up.
The DAZ lineup is non-existent for what you want, I've been looking since Aiko 3.
Kururu for G2F

Something like this perhaps? It's a figure called ChibiBel, very stylized and still one of my favourites for manga-style renders.
Just be aware that some of the non-Daz figures may not be licensed for commercial renders, if that is your intent.
You are the hero I need, but not the one I deserve.
Depends on how you define anime. As Japanese don't have a distinction between one type of animation versus another. So all Daz figures can be in Anime :)
If you just need them for reference purpose why not use Manga Studio/Clip studio. It has a 3D Japanese produced bugged eyed anime figure to use for drawing reference. You can pose her and change her figure a bit, but not change bust size. Its an overall body change. For reference, the DS figures are perfectly fine....so I'm guessing you really want to do renders?
A3 was a lot of peoples favorite Japanese inspired daz anime doll. Even when A4 came out ppl complained that A3 was cuter. Aiko keeps evovling over time into something unique, and probably good reason since who needs another A3 considering A3 still works just fine.
But A3 wasn't the last of the cute Daz dollies. Hitomi was created by the same person that created most of Daz's first party figures. She was too cute to be a Daz original.

There are a lot of technical challenges with morphing the Daz figures into 2D anime characters. The eyes are a huge challenge (they need to be super huge, squarish and flat).So you won't see anything that literally mimics a Japanese 2D artwork. Hitomi is super legit though. Outside of that, there are non-Daz figures people mentioned. They have variying degrees of support so it will depend on your skills to get the most of them.
You could always rig an unrigged figure in DS if you wanted to.
Not this again. This happened last time this topic was broached. He provided examples. Go to google images, type "anime," hit enter. 95% of what you see matches the example he provided. None of this "but what is anime" intentional misunderstanding.
ChibiBel is OK and the Kururu for G2F is good, hitomi is one of those "well they kind of tried" ones.
Edit: SickleYield has said in other posts why the look is so hard to accomplished, which is supported by the fact that the Kururu for G2F as a geograph for her head (brilliant, btw). This is why the stylized cartoon genesis models like Hitomi and the Aikos / Hiros only look "ok" for the desired goal. They are very well made, but not for the OP's application.
You could try Anime Doll Kit from Renderosity, she's kinda old, but still very anime looking.
Here's a picture.
How about Star? She's got alot of available morphs, characters and clothes.
Or perhaps cookie. She's versatile and also has many characters and clothes available.
