Hey, I have some questions regarding the origins of the Japanese. I heard that they were a mix of Russian, Mongolian, and Chinese. Is that true or am I just hearing it wrong?
Mostly some of the Japanese living in Northern Japan have the blood.
窶喇'm half Japanese and half Russian but I consider myself Japanese completely, not just because I spent most of my life in Japan, but because
my mother is Russian-Japanese who grew up in Japan and her first language is Japanese.
In the early 20th century, many Russians defected to Japan due to the Russian revolution. There were many so-called Russian-Japanese in Japan.
For example, Japanese baseball's legendary player Victor Starffin was Russian-Japanese and his Japanese name is Hiroshi Suda.
Sumo wrestlrer Taiho, who is one of the greatest Japanese athletes is half Russian-Japanese.
It is shame that even ordinary Japanese don't know much about the historical fact.
Japanese don't have Mongolian blood too much btw.
Japan wasn't conquered by the Mongolian Empire.
Instead of it, Japanese have some Southeast Asian blood.
