When people think of Japan, most of them think of raw fish and sushi. But Japan is much fishier than that. Fish is a part of the national conscience. Deep down, Japanese people are obsessed with fish, which must come from a diet of seafood. After all, you are what you eat.
While Westerners seem to have originated from big-nosed apes, the Japanese seem to have come from different stock, since it is said that all life forms originated in the sea, and from there we went on to become apes and homo sapiens. But the Japanese were smarter than that and skipped the ape stage. They went straight to being Japanese. It seems quite likely that the ancestors of the Japanese are fish.
Just look at their lean, fluid bodies and how gracefully they move. They are weightless and supple, while Westerners are large and chunky (OK, at least I am). The women don't have the big lumbering hips that I have either, which helps them glide through a sea of people with ease.
