Some Asian countries, particularly Japan and South Korea, put importance on a person’s blood type, believing that it has something to do with your personality and temperament. In Japan, people use blood types to introduce themselves in class, find partners in life, and hire people for jobs. Anime and comic book characters also have blood types to match their personalities. For them knowing their blood type is essential that 90% of the Japanese know their blood type -it comes as a surprise if someone doesn’t know their blood type.

A widespread belief on the studies that showed each blood type has a personality profile and because of this some Japanese use this to their advantage. For example, Japan’s former Prime Minister Taro Aso revealed he’s a Type A in his official profile on the internet when he ran for the office all because his rival, Ichiro Ozawa, is a known type B. Type A’s are known to be creative, very sensible and responsible while Type B’s are passionate but are believed to be selfish and irresponsible. It wasn’t a surprise to all that  Aso won the elections. Whether he won because of his blood type or not, we cannot tell.
