Although it's not everyone's 'cup of tea,' judging who might be your most suitable partner is sometimes left to the powers of Astrology, or 'Blood Types,' as is the case in Japan. Although most people in America have never really paid much attention to what type of blood they have -- except maybe in emergencies. In Japan, though, this is not the case! As popular as the Zodiac, the Japanese have derived personality qualities from the types of protiens that make their blood.
Yoji, you see, is blood type AB, just like his Seiyuu Shinichiro Miki. Splicing several sources together, it seems that people with type AB blood are rational, efficient, critical, analytical, proud, emotional, tend to get bored quickly, and are a little backwards when it comes to having human relationships.
As with the cat type, zodiac sign, and image flower, I can see a lot of Yoji in the descriptions of these things. It always amazes me that people actually do this type of research when creating a character!
Here are a few interesting facts:
1. Around 75% of Japanese people believe there is a relationship between blood type and personality.
2. Famous French, English , American and Indian psychologists have also studied the relationship between blood type and personality with positive results.
3. In Tokyo, 4 (out of 5) major TV stations broadcasted blood type programs in 1997 alone. |
