What race are the Japanese?

Japanese belong to the East Asian type of Mongolian race.

The main characteristics of Mongolian race are: yellow skin, chestnut eyes, straight black hair, inconspicuous body hair and beard, flat face, prominent cheekbones, low nose, special skin folds in the inner corners of eyes and so on.

Yamato is the main resident of East Asia Japan, and Ainu people also live in Hokkaido, Japan. In daily life, you will see many Japanese stars with European looks, such as actor Hiroshi Abe and musician Ken Hirai?. Many people will instinctively think that these people are mixed-race Japanese and European when they see their high nose and deep eyes. But a check of the data found that it was not. These people were all Japanese.

Among about 37% of the Japanese people today, there is actually the blood of a race that has been selectively forgotten by Japan for a long time-Ainu people. Before other immigrants came to the Japanese archipelago, a Caucasian ethnic group once crossed the sea from northeast Asia. It arrived in Japan around 6 BC and quickly spread all over Japan. These people became the so-called Ainu people.
