I guess an old school brawler that lets you play as a female, like streets of rage.

Edit: I missed the cc part, I suck. Wrestling games may be viable, that's not a traditional 1v1 fighter so to speak, but you could probably find a decent CAW Chie already made then edit the moveset to be mostly kick related. It's definitely not ideal, but eh, if you need it to look like Chie I can't think of anything else.

Probably want to make his character look like Chie. Then again, Chie is flat, and just has a slightly different hairstyle than Bruce Lee so any game with Bruce Lee can work, too, if you cloud your eyes enough.

Blade and soul.
Not all that many kicks though.

Outside of boss fights, I'm pretty sure the jump kick is the single strongest attack in Gunstar Heroes. You're practically invincible while doing it.
There are a few kick based weapons in dynasty warriors and it has a character creator.
And... Hmmm.... Maxi in Soul Cal IV and V has shitloads of kicks and you can make a custom character in it(pretty in depth too. You could also make a Devil Jin martial arts character in Soul Cal V.
Thinking about it, your best bet is Soul Calibur 3. There's custom styles in it that are specifically for custom characters, and one of the weapons is a kick based one.

Oh the combat has to match Chie as well? Hmmm. Might have to spam that one assassin combo then.
Edit: Whelp I blanked on the words "kick-based" in the title. Carry on.

Bayonetta. All weapons work just as well on your feet, so you don't have to use your hands.
If he was gonna play a fighting game with a custom chie he could just play p4a with the real one lol

Yeah, I'm kinda hoping he doesn't mean visual customization rather than gameplay customization. Because God Hand won't let him play as a teenage girl, but it'll get him the other 90% of the way there.
You wanna come to kicktown, OP, you call my boy Gene.

If the lack of a character creator isn't a dealbreaker, you're looking for God Hand.
Though to be fair, you should play God Hand anyway. Anyone who loves a good action game should.
These guys know what's up. You can customize your entire moveset to be kicks if you want to, since you can fully-customize what your normal attack string, command moves and special attacks are.

Soul Calibur V OP.
Maybe I can make Chie there and post some pics later.

Can't remember any game with purely kick-based combat but character action games could be close. Devil May Cry 3 for example had the beowulf weapon, which let Dante punck and kick things. I seem to remember lots of kick combos, not sure, maybe something in that vein is what you're looking for.
EDIT: Way to go, completely ignored the character creation part, that really complicates things D:

City of Heroes would be good for this (if it was still around) with the Martial Arts set for most of the melee classes being kick-centric and it being pretty easy to remake Chie's general look.
Champions Online would be an option nowadays I guess, though it's not as good as CoH was.
Other best option would be Saints Row 2/3/4, though there's not a ton of kicking I guess.

PSO2's Jet Boots weapon uses all kick-based attacks and the character creator is incredibly in-depth. The tracksuit might be hard to get right, though... There's Persona 5 costumes in it but nothing for Persona 4.

Well, the Archer class in Dragon Nest uses a lot of kicks? I guess?
Man this is a hard question.....

Even SR2, which has the kick-based Ronin fighting style. Can't say for certain you can get the exact tracksuit, but the creator was impressive, so I bet it's possible.

That's... oddly specific. Not sure any game out there that matches this specific criteria.
Play Dark Souls and use the kicking move a lot? lol

Jade Empire has a kick-based fighting style. No character creator, though, you just pick a character model.
A lot of great recommendations in this thread, Gaf always pulls through.
I promise to play God Hand one day, even if it doesn't satisfy my Chie needs.
Fucking. Fuckinnnn. God damn.
Can you share the character for that? There's character sharing in SRIV right? I need to use that.
If customization lets me make a decent enough approximation I could totally mess around with this, that looks rad.

Yup. Just pretend the main dude is Chie with a voice change. And unlike most of these other examples, Dark Messiah's kicks will interact with the environment. Kick enemies into fires, into spikes, off of cliffs, and more!

Skyrim with mods
You could totally change all the melee attacks with kick animations
Change the blocking, powerblocks with weapons to kicks
add melee buffing mods , even special effects/sounds (dragon kicks, ice/fire)
Change the jumping animation front flips, Chuck norris,parkour style etc
There are a lot of melee animation mods
change stances you name it
and download a bunch of Martial arts related clothing then boom.
It would take some effort but you can do a lot with the game on mods
and with mods there is no other game with a better character creator of course, jump from 20 options in vanilla to like 20 million
and if you play with a female it's infinite.

I know you said you weren't interested in fighting games OP, but I couldn't help it and had to make Chie in Soul Calibur V:
