  1. Korean: Japanese originated from Korea Japanese: Oh, since we are the same, that means Dokdo also belongs to Japanese right? Korean: 😠
    29
  2. Japanese have a certain look that I recognize instantly. 90% of them look completely different from Koreans who have extreme Evenki/Jurchen looks.
    19
  3. Blatant LIES by Korean revisionists on Japanese genealogy and origin videos. - Japanese people came from Korea - Yayoi people were Koreans - Japanese culture originated from Korea - Chinese and Korean culture are different
    17
  4. Japanese eyes 👀 Chinese eyes 👀 Korean eyes 😑
    15
  5. Japanese who are East Asian are mostly Kofun, from Yangtze River Basin not Korean peninsula. They mixed with the native Jomon (Caucasian phenotype). Jomon is not to be confused with Ainu.
    14
  6. The Yayoi people were not Koreans. They were a proto Mongoloid group that traversed to Japan via Korean peninsula. Koreans didn't bring Japonic language to Japan. Korean language is Altaic. Japanese is uniquely Japonic. The Altaic hypothesis has also been debunked by historical linguists Alexander Vovin and Toh Soo Hee. Other than grammar, the 2 languages are not related due to a lack of cognates other than Sino loanwords. Koreans often spread disinformation.

  7. A French missionary describes Korea in the 19th century: "Koreans of both sexes are naturally very passionate; but true love is hardly found in this country because the passion in them is purely physical, the heart has nothing to do. They know that the animal appetite, the instinct of the brute who, to satisfy rushes blindly to the first object within his reach; also moral corruption beyond anything you can imagine. It is such that one can boldly state that more than half of people do not know their real parents."
    12
  8. Japanese are definitely not from Korea. Some Korean officials escaped to Japan during the fall of Baekje. And there were some diplomatic marriages between Gaya and Japan. That's why Japanese Royal family has some Korean lineage (Akihito's maternal side). That's all. 71% of Japanese are Kofun (not Han) from Yangtze basin, China. Carbon dating from rice DNA. Yayoi people are also not Korean despite Koreans' bullish claims. They were a mongoloid sub group that traversed thru Korean peninsula to Japan.
    12
  9. 2/3 of Japanese are indeed from the Mainland. Latest eugenics studies show 71% match of modern Japanese with Kofun from Yangtze basin of China. Though they are not of Han Chinese origins. A famous Japanese actress also traced her roots to a tribe in Yangtze. The rest are Yayoi, Jomon mix. (the Ryukuans and Ainus are their own people). Yayoi are also NOT Koreans. They are only related to Koreans.
    12
  10. Koreans' ancestors are the Vietnamese.
    11
  11. *Update with anthropological, archeological, eugenics and linguistics evidence to debunk Koreans' claims on Japanese genetics, language and culture. 1) Eugenics - The latest genetic research have concluded that most modern Japanese (Kofun) originated from Yangtze basin, Yellow river, China while they are not determined Han Chinese. This accounts for more than 70% of modern Japanese people. The rest are relegated to Yayoi, Jomon, Ainus, Ryukuans and the inevitable mix of these varying genetics. It's crucial to add that the Yayoi are not Koreans despite the persistent claims by the Koreans. They are related to Japanese as they are to the Han Chinese. Japanese pirates who raided Korean coasts are recorded numerous times to be ethnic Han Chinese. Rice DNA destroys Korean migration theory. Koreans didn't even carry a majority of rice in Kyushu. The Korean peninsula is a mountainous terrain which isn't ideal for growing crops or rice. The technology of rice irrigation itself came from Yangtze river which further cements the theory of Japanese-China origins. Wa (Japan) state ruler Queen Himiko claimed herself to be descendent of King Taibo of Wu. Japanese carry far greater Ydna (O3) than Koreans even though Koreans carry a large amount as well due to Han Chinese. Haploid 2b are given to South Koreans through Japanese excursions, diplomatic marriages, frequent raids from Xiongnu, Xiangbein (Mongolic) and Jurchen (Manchu) raids upon Korean territories. This is why North Koreans have almost no 2b. Koreans lacked naval abilities, navigation and sea warfare, therefore none of the Korean states dared to live close to the shores and Silla was almost completely destroyed by frequent raids from Japan. Han Chinese commandaries existed everywhere on the peninsula and even the modern day capital Seoul (City of Han) named after the Han Chinese as well as it's flag designed by a Chinese official based on Yin Yang, Bagua, I-Ching and Taoist philosophy. Koreans are closely related to the Evenki. They also share the same practice of worshipping Totem poles which doesn't exist in Japan. Phenotype wise, Koreans have extremely thin small eyes, straight hair, big bodies, wide jaw, flat face, high cheekbones while Japanese have almond to big eyes, more refined hair, longer face, slender body, dental protusion/misalignment, bowed legs. The 2 couldn't be more different. While there are some Japanese that may look Korean, one could argue the same with some Koreans looking Chinese. There's also the migration of Zainichi Koreans after the war who accounts for Korean genes detected in the Japanese populace. 2) Archeology/Artifacts - Jared Diamond argued that Japan had historical relics similiar to that of Korea which led to his absurd conclusion Japanese thus originated from Korea. This couldn't be further from the truth. In the video, Jared refers to the bronze mirror called Shinjū-kyō (神獣鏡, "deity and beast mirror") which is an ancient round bronze mirror decorated with images of gods and animals from Chinese mythology. The shinjū-kyō style of bronze mirror originated from the Chinese magic mirrors and was frequently produced during the Han dynasty, Three Kingdoms, and Six Dynasties (1st–6th centuries CE). Therefore we can deduce that Koreans also copied this from the Chinese, and Japanese could be from China or learnt the techniques directly from China. 3) Linguistics - Koreans often claim Korean and Japanese are in the same Altaic category of languages. However this is a huge fallacy. Japanese language is uniquely Japonic and Korean is a Tungus/Altaic language similiar to Evenki. Koreans would argue from the point of Korean and Japanese sharing a similar grammar. English and Chinese also share the same grammar, it doesn't make them the same. The Altaic hypothesis has also been debunked by historical linguists Alexander Vovin and Toh Soo Hee. Other than grammar, the 2 languages are not related due to a lack of cognates other than loanwords (Onyomi, Kanji + Hanja pronunciation) which are both borrowed from the Chinese language. Infact the Korean language is strongly influenced by Dravidian languages like Tamil besides Chinese. Hundreds of words, basic Nouns and pronouns like Appa (father) and Ama (mother) are exactly the same in Korean and Tamil. This is completely different from Japanese. A Korean King Suro of Gaya also married an Indian woman, Heo Hwang-ok, also known as Suriratna. The Indian connection can't be understated.

  12.  @Rift74748Saga  He's Korean so.. Koreans believe they have a civilization that predates the Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks. And that they are the chosen ones. No jokes.
    11
  13. Koreans are close cousins to the Evenkis and Mongols/Jurchen tribes. Their ancestors are from Lake Baikal. Korean - tiny single monolid eyes, square jaw, big bodies, no body hair. Japanese - slender, sharper face, higher nose bridge, more refined facial hair, dental misalignment, shorter stature. Completely different physiology.

  15. Korean history: Chinese culture and civilization with Evenki DNA
    8
  16. Points to ponder: - Baekje lasted 700 years. - Japanese royal family is the longest running in the world at 2000 years. - Hangul has 500+ years history. - Katakana predates Hangul by 600 years. - South Korea has less than 80 years of history.

  17. Almost all Korean women look like Jung Yoo Jung. And Korean men look like Wet boy or Bobby Lee.
    8
  18. Not all Japanese traditions came from China, but a lot did. You can't deny this. But from Korea?? Lol, almost all Korean culture came from China.
    8
  19. What I find intriguing is how many Koreans have found a way to claim Japanese and even Chinese culture. I have seen Koreans commented: "Koreans brought culture to Japan. Yes, Chinese culture did come to Korea but we 'Koreanized' it so it's basically Korean now".
    8
  20. This is actually the story of Korean peninsula prior to Chinese settlers teaching it's savage inhabitants civilization and culture.
    8
  21. Japanese came from China, not the Han people but the Kofun people were a tribe in Yangtze river.
    7
  22. Ainus are not to be confused with Jomons (native Japanese). Infact Ainus were only 'discovered' late in Japanese history. They had little contact with mainland Japanese.

  23. Japanese face: Daigo & Keiko Kitagawa Korean face: Kwon Sang Woo & Choi Ji woo Completely different faces, language and culture. Don't try to conflate the two.
    7
  24. When Baekje existed Japanese from WA already existed. There are some Koreans who migrated to Japan, but it doesn't displace the local Japanese inhabitants. Do you know how absurd is your theory? Koreans went to Japan and eliminated their own language and created a whole new Japanese language? Then maybe doing ancient plastic surgery to look Japanese? Koreans (Japanese) invaded Korea many times and killed Koreans?? LOL 😆

  25.  @ブラッキーエーフィ-o5w  hi, I think there's a misunderstanding. We both agree that Chinese culture influenced Japan. I also agree that Japanese has indigenous cultures like Shintoism, Bushido etc that isn't part of Chinese culture. As for Korea, 99% of their culture is copied from China. Even their surnames are copied from Chinese surnames like Lee, Lim, Hwang, Jang. Japanese don't do this.

  26.  @JohnLee-db9zt  I don't claim to be an expert of any field. But I'm sure I know more about East Asian anthropology than you do since I have a major in it.

  27.  @lupimali9504  totally agree. I think Koreans are conducting a psy-ops on all Japanese related vids because I've seen this way too often to be a coincidence.

  30. They came from China but they're not genetically Han Chinese. At least not completely. And this only accounts for the migrants to Japan not it's indigenous Jomon, Ainu population.
    6
  31. Inbreeding actually happened in the Korean peninsula. Not Japan. Obviously she was exaggerating. The myth of a Chinese general and 500 women sent to Japan to gather the Elixir of life is just that. A myth.
    6
  32. Korean nationalists have been trying to undermine Shogun's success by claiming it's because of Korean history. That Baekje created Yamato and modern Japan. The envy and inferiority complex of this nation is unreal.
    6
  33.  @lupimali9504  Deliberate amnesia when it comes to China
    6
  34. The Ainus are not progenitors of the mainland Japanese. They have almost zero contact until the 17th century.
    6
  35. Korean blood = Evenki + South east Asian + Austronesian, some Han Chinese. Japanese blood = Kofun, Yayoi (not Korean), Jomon, some Polynesian/South east Asian.
    6
  36. Then why didn't the Blacks of today become whites or Asians?
    6
  37. Chinese went to Korean island as bandits. 1000+ years later they call themselves Koreans. that's why your name is still Lee ^^
    6
  38.  @lupimali9504  Exactly, Koreans love to take credit of everything in Asia and distort history. I also don't think Koreans 'mistakenly' think this. It's deliberate white washing. Infact the famous Japanese monk went directly to China and he developed Hiragana later on. There are so many instances of Chinese - Japanese interactions but Koreans often downplay this. It seems as though Koreans want Japanese to be indebted to them and not Chinese.

The Korean peninsula is a mountainous terrain which isn't ideal for growing crops or rice. The technology of rice irrigation itself came from Yangtze river which further cements the theory of Japanese-China origins.

Koreans suffer from a huge inferiority complex towards the Japanese having been subjugated by Japan as a colony for decades. Hence, post war education was full of false anti Japanese propaganda. The Korean government took a page from Imperial Japan and promoted the propaganda of a superior, pure Korean blood and race. By claiming to be the progenitors of Japanese, they can offset the shame of being a defeated, colonized people. The propaganda was taught in middle school up till the 90s then through word of mouth by parents and the elderly. Korean education system also deliberately omit many Sino/Chinese influences on Korean civilization and culture along with banning Hanja (Chinese characters). This has spawned generations of Koreans claiming various Chinese history, cultures, inventions and arts. Again this stems from the inferiority complex of being a vassal state of China for centuries.

  40.  @JaredPrince-ne9iz  All East Asians are related, the same analogy with all Europeans being related. But they are not the same. It doesn't mean Japanese came from Korea. No doubt there are some siberian and korean migrants to Japan, but it's in the minority.

  43.  @paulfri1569  yes, they need to be more specific. The latest DNA research by a German eugenicists have found that 90% of Japanese are Kofun people who are different from Koreans. Those who are in doubt, just take a look at Korean and Japanese football teams. Their faces look completely different. Koreans are mostly Evenki/Mongol/Jurchen stock.

  44. Recently, my friends and I had a meet up in Toronto with another group in our social circle. One woman in the group was called 'Yuki'. She looked completely Korean despite her name. I asked her if she was Korean or Japanese. She said, ''I'm actually Korean''. I asked why she had a Japanese name. She said, ''It's easier to get attention from guys if I had a Japanese sounding name. Most white guys are crazy about Japanese girls these days. They can't tell the difference between us anyways.'' So be careful guys. Some ''Japanese'' girls out there are actually Koreans.

  45. Koreans try extremely hard to claim Japanese people, history, culture and achievements. Recently, they claimed Shohei Ohtani was a descendant of Koreans because of his tall stature and athletic ability. The audacity to claim the success of another nationality? No shame.

  46. Yes, carbon dating show at least 10,000 BC. There was a civilization established early on.

  47.  @sioenyuopin  No shame? Pollock eggs similiar to caviar, no one owns the copyright to fish eggs. But Korea on the other hand truly copies Japanese and Chinese cuisines like Norimaki Sushi, Taiyaki, Jajangmyeon, Mandu, Japchae and hundreds more

  48. The word Korean is a very new word. Korea itself only has 75 years history. There was no such thing as a Korean when the Japanese archipelago had inhabitants. Yayoi are not Koreans, they are a proto mongoloid group that traversed to Japan via Korea. 70% of modern Japanese are Kofun (DNA match Yangtze basin civilization).

  49. Japanese have a certain look that I recognize instantly. 90% of them look completely different from Koreans who have extreme Evenki/Jurchen looks.

  50. The placement of surname is a Chinese tradition that was imitated by the Koreans and Japanese. Infact, Koreans had no surnames like most uncivilized Tungus tribes at the time. They adopted Han Chinese surnames like Lee, Hwang, Jung Yuen etc.
    5
  51.  @lupimali9504  I think there are 2 main reasons why Koreans claim the origins of Japanese so strongly. The first is your point, that Koreans want to boast about making a barbaric Japan civilized with their culture. The 2nd is actually because deep down Koreans admire Japan. Koreans were seen as "lower" subjects to Japanese during colonization period. And Japan's economic miracle from the 80s to a leading world power. Japanese people had a very positive global image. Koreans thus want to claim them as their ancestors. It's like how a person tries to claim he's related to a rich, successful relative.

  52.  @lupimali9504  Thanks Lupi. I actually reported all his hate comments on my channel. Some were downright racist and vile. I think they could be from VANK or some right wing Korean online community that's always on these kind of vids relating to Japan or China. The insecurity and complex is real.

Many massage parlors like Tokyo Spa advertise itself as Japanese but it's Korean. Almost all Japanese sushi restaurants in the west are run by Koreans, sometimes with a Korean fusion menu.

  60.  @sioenyuopin  the concept of preserving fish in salt which later became sushi was invented in Southern China. Even so sushi itself has become something uniquely Japanese. Kimbap is the garbage copycat iteration that K people came up with 😂 Pollock roe doesn't belong to Korea. Many countries consume it.

  61. Koreans: "Japanese originated from Korea" Japanese: "oh, so Takeshima also belongs to Japan". Koreans: 😠💢

  62. you read wrong. Japanese is comprised of Jomons, Emishi, Kofuns, Yayoi and the inclusion of Ainus, Ryukuans.

  63.  @秋山響  China has become an emotional punching bag for Korea in modern times. Anything bad is blamed on China by Koreans.

  64. Aside from having almost completely different faces, Koreans also have very specific genetic markers absent in modern Japanese people: attached earlobes, lines in inner elbows, pockmark holes at side of temple (men), extremely tiny hooded eyes, wide face, wide jaw, high cheekbones, much bigger bodies, shoulder and thighs, prone to retain body fat, females have tight shaped reproductive organ, inability to grow decent facial hair, hair texture like toothbrush compared to finer Japanese hair.

  65. It's pronounced Shiet-lla

  66. I'm pretty sure Hongkongers are Han Chinese. They originated from Guangdong. And Taiwanese are 98% Han Chinese with some indigenous Polynesian tribes in Taiwan mixed in. Koreans have less Chinese genes and more related to Evenkis/Jurchen/Manchus.

  67.  @rusantmandewaowaranay1261  In high school, we had a Korean classmate. One day, a white classmate asked him, "Are Japanese from China?". The Korean got extremely angry with red eyes almost crying he shouted, "JAPANESE came from KOREA!! Not China!!". It shows that Koreans really want to claim Japanese blood.

  68. Not Han Chinese but 70% are from the main continent (what Japan used to call China).

  69. I have been to China, Japan, S.Korea. All the 3 ethnicities look quite different as it should be. I can easily tell them apart, and that's not even by the way they dress. For context I'm East Asian so that does help. It's known that Europeans have a hard time differentiating Asians and people of color.
    4
  70. Koreans are a mix of Yamaeks, Evenkis, S.East Asians and Austronesians. You can see this reflected in their language, cultures and behaviours. Koreans erect totem poles Jangseung (장승) just like the Evenki people. This doesn't exist in China or Japan. They also share similiar Tunguistic facial features such as Evenkis (tiny hooded eyes, large wide face, big hairless body). Korean language is highly influenced by Dravidian languages like Tamil. Hundreds of basic pronouns eg "Appa, Ama, Unnie" etc are identical in India. This is completely different from Chinese or Japanese.

  71. @user-ib8ei5vo6v I know of this case and would definitely like to see the truth of that Japanese tomb in Korea!!
    4
  72. Korea the hermit nation was ruled by China, Mongolia then by Japan. Japanese had no relations with Korea except diplomatic marriages with Gaya confederates. That's all. Think why it was Japan that constantly invades Korea and punish you guys lol. Not other way around. It's too funny Koreans whitewash history 😂
    4
  73. Korea only has 78 years of history. The word Korean is actually a new word. There was no such thing as Korea.
    4
  74. A movie has been made about Queen Himiko in 1974 directed by Masahiro Shinoda. however you need to understand that Japanese historians are reluctant to acknowledge her existence as anything but a myth despite overwhelming evidence by China. Himiko in her own words. The mysterious shamaness leader introduced herself to the Chinese envoys as "Ruler of Wa, Friend of Wei, leader of Yamatai-koku in Wakoku (倭国).
    4
  75. It's Yayoi not yaoi. And they are not Koreans.
    4
  76. Korea has less than 80 years of history. Even the term 'Korea' is a new word invented by Europeans to describe the inhabitants of fallen Silla and Baekje kingdoms. Goguryo is Buyeo and Chinese territory so Korea's 3 Kingdoms is a lie like everything else they claim. Kana (hiragana, katakana) which is derived from Chinese characters predates Hangul by more than 600 years. Japan has the world's oldest continuous monarchy dating back to at least 539 CE. Baekje lasted for 700 years, from 18 BCE to 660 CE. After the defeat of Baekje by Tang Dynasty, King Uija died in China and there was no record of Baekje remnant mass migration to Japan by China's Shujing or Japan's Kojiki except for political prisoners and low ranking officials. Both the oldest written history records of the Chinese and Japanese. What's even more damning is the Key Hole shaped tombs that Korean historians claim to prove their control over Japan. When carbon dating has confirmed it was Korea which copied the tombs' shapes. A reverse Uno that may imply Japanese were the ones who ruled Korea. Also, Yayois were never confirmed to be Koreans but a sub Mongoloid group which shares a common ancestor with the Chinese, Mongols, Manchus. They too were falsely claimed by Koreans. 71% of modern Japanese are Kofun with a Haploid cluster dna D2 (D-M55) which is completely absent in modern Koreans but correlates to Tibetans further cementing Kofuns originated from Yangtze basin. D2 frequency is also highest in the Ainu and the Ryukyuans (International Society of Genetic Genealogy). Lastly, a funny joke. Korean Cultural Center claims Korea has 700,000 years of history with the earliest known civilization being the kingdom of Gojoseon, predating the four oldest civilizations in the world Mesopotamia, Egypt, Indus Valley, and China LOL.

    4
  78. I couldn't agree more 👍 It's almost laughable that Koreans insist on claiming the origins of Sam gaetang and Ginseng both of which are clearly Chinese origins just by their name alone. Sam Gaetang - basically the same Hanja pronunciation in Chinese, meaning chicken soup. Koreans couldn't possibly have come up with that considering the name. Ginseng - same with ginseng which literally meaning spirit/vitality in Chinese. I guess it's not strange considering Koreans banned the use of Chinese characters and have no idea of their own cultures borrowed from China.
    4
  79.  @kkkoo223  the word Korean is a very new word. Korea itself only has 75 years history. There was no such thing as a Korean when the Japanese archipelago had inhabitants. Yayoi are not Koreans, they are a proto mongoloid group that traversed to Japan via Korea. 70% of modern Japanese are Kofun (DNA match Yangtze basin civilization). Summary Japanese are not Korean. Look in the mirror and you will see Kim Jong Un 😂

  80. Beware of nationalists from Korea spreading propaganda and lies about China and Japan online. - Chinese cultures are no longer Chinese, because they have been Koreanized in Korea - Japanese people originated from Baekje, Korea - Japanese cultures came from Korea - Chinese characters were not invented by Han Chinese but Dongyi people who were ancestors of Koreans - Korean language is the most scientific language in the world - Hiragana and Katana derived from Hangul

  82. @user-ib8ei5vo6v That's right, I forgot to include that. Also S.Korean government uncovered a tomb in Korea with the relics of Japanese rulers. They quickly sealed off the area to prevent Korean historians and anthropologists from doing research of the truth.

  83.  @takaakiyamada5451  huh? What are you on 😒 there's a clear distinction between Yayoi and Jomon. Ainus are their own group. And there's nowhere millions of Ainus as you claim. Weirdo.

  84. Korea was a vassal state of China and 43% of Koreans have Han Chinese and Mongol DNA from their conquest of Korea. Cry about it.

  85.  @dandylion3783  Thanks for this 👍

  86. No. Ainus only inhabit the Northern part of Japan, which wasn't part of Japan at the time. Infact Mainland Japanese have almost no contact with Ainus until the 18th century when they were equipped to colonize Hokkaido.

  89. Question: "Do Japanese get mistaken for Koreans?' ChatGPT: "Koreans and Japanese are two distinct ethnic groups with their own unique cultures, languages, and histories. However, they do share some similarities in physical appearance and cultural practices, which can lead to confusion. Additionally, both countries have been heavily influenced by Chinese culture throughout history, which can also contribute to similarities. It is important to remember that each culture is unique and should be respected as such. Misidentifying someone based on their appearance is not appropriate and can be offensive."

  92. According to Nihon shiki, Himiko never existed. Even though clear evidence of her was mentioned in Chinese and Korean history. There's several reasons for the omission of Queen Himiko from Japanese history.
    3
  93.  @MR_TRIPLE_ONE  Yes, that's why I mentioned Yangtze basin including the Tibetans. When I said came from China, it doesn't mean Han Chinese. Geographically, modern Japanese came from Yellow River, China mixed with local Jomon in Japan which gives them a unique East Asian and Caucasoid look.
    3
  94. Wow, an actual sound and logical Korean. I thought all of you were extremists claiming the sun and the moon. The only contention I have with your comment is that Tang invaded Baekje. It was a mutual war of borders.

    3
  97. Japanese who are East Asian are mostly Kofun, from Yangtze River Basin not Korean peninsula. They mixed with the native Jomon (Caucasian phenotype). Jomon is not to be confused with Ainu.
    3
  98. It was down to pure luck that Japan averted being invaded by the Mongols. Strong typhoons foiled Mongol invasion attempts into Japan. Hence, the Japanese call it "Kamikaze" (wind god).
    3
  99. Takeshima belongs to Japan. It's also sea of Japan. Korea was a slave of China and Japan throughout history.
    3
  100. Japanese are not from Korea. They are proto mongoloid group (Kofun) from Mainland China transversing to Japanese archipelago via Korean peninsula but not of Han/Korean descent later mixing with Jomons. It's that simple.
    3
  101.  @Taooflu  Koreans and Japanese are different but share similarities. This could be said of comparisons with any sub set of Europeans.

  102. Lol, here comes the copy and paste Kimchi troll in English now 😂
    3
  103. Baekje was in alliance with Japan to engage war with Silla. The Baekje kingdom was called Kudara in Japanese. Here lies the idiocy and disinformation of propaganda Koreans spread online. Japan already existed when Baekje was an ally. So the logic that Japanese originated from Baekje is absolutely false. After the fall of Baekje a few thousand Koreans escaped to Japan as refugees, and later some become lower ranking officials. There are Koreans who migrated to the US does that mean America has become Korea? ^^ There was also some diplomatic marriages between Kaya and Japan. This was common for the era, just as it was for Chinese Emperors to marry Korean concubines. So Koreans came from China? ^^ That's where the Japanese royal maternal blood line has 'some' Korean lineage as stated by Akihito. This is was later highly exaggerated by Korean media in 2002 as Akihito admitting Japanese originated from Korea. The root of all these false claims comes from Korea's inferiority complex of being subjugated by Japan throughout history.

  104.  @alissacuriel6784  you have problem with comprehension. my statement doesn't refute Jomon's origins. I was elaborating how Kofun and Yayoi people are from China though not determined Han.

  108. I have seen the vid. I don't think he implied such at all.

  109. Modern Japanese are predominantly Kofun, which are from Yangtze basin, China mixed with indegenious Jomon people. Ainus are native to Northern Japan but they had little contact with mainland Japanese.
    2
  110. How did European nations communicated with each other?
    2
  111. Japanese are definitely not from Korea. Some Korean officials escaped to Japan during the fall of Baekje. And there were some diplomatic marriages between Gaya and Japan. That's why Japanese Royal family has some Korean lineage (Akihito's maternal side). That's all. 71% of Japanese are Kofun (not Han) from Yangtze basin, China. C.dating from rice DNA.
    2
  112.  @koukidenhikaitu4990  you are right, there's strong evidence of Kofun people's link with Yangtze river basin.
    2
  113.  @dandylion3783  there's ancient keyhole tombs that were dug out near the Baekje, now midwest ROK. The bones carbon dating matched modern Japanese more than South Koreans. This meant that it was Japanese that came to Korea, not other way round. Korean government quickly sealed the tombs and not allow any archeologist to do further testing.
    2
  114.  @sejin-vc4xw  Rice cultivation originated in China, and for South Asia in India. This is a documented fact through carbon dating of rice DNA of which was traced in 4 major islands of Japan. Cast iron was also a Chinese invention. Koreans invented nothing in history and only copied Chinese cultures, civilization and creations.

  116. The main genetic markers of Koreans: hooded small eyes, no joined earlobes, line in the middle of elbows.

  117. There's no doubt the Jomons were possibly Caucasian or related to. They had deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, finer hair as opposed to Koreans/Mongols straight black hair. Also they could handle their alcohol unlike most East Asians. There are many Japanese today that still look pseudo European/Jomon.
    2
  118.  Usaforlife1  They are not from Korea. Don't spread disinformation. You can see my comment about this
    2
  119. Settlement and civilization has been traced in Japan since 10,000 years. It's unclear whether they were Jomons or migrants from the main continent (China). But if we're discussing modern Japanese history circa 5th century onwards, Jomons, Emishis and Ainus to the North were the original inhabitants. Followed by influx of Kofun people from China (closely related to Tibetans). the most current eugenics research confirms 70% of modern Japanese today are Kofun. the rest are Jomon, Yayoi (not Korean) Okinawans, etc

  120. I tend to agree. I also like Taiwan.

  125. Hi Mr Kim. Nice try pretending to be Japanese by commenting in Japanese lol. You think by doing this it gives your baseless argument more credence? As an academic, I read the 1st paragraph and couldn't continue further. It's full of fallacies and erroneous 'facts'. No sources or peer reviewed studies cited. Not even worth debunking.

  127.  @arc2348  YouTube algorithm filtered your comments as it's deemed offensive, inappropriate and misleading. Need a tissue?
    2
  128.  @あかさあかさあかさあ  whether that is true or not, the foundation of current Japanese civilization was based on Chinese civilization. This is a historical fact. Same with Korean peninsula.
    2
  129. We know for a fact that Japanese came from Yangtze River Basin and not directly from Korea. Many pratical reasonings can prove this. First, Korean peninsula being cold and absolutely not suitable for rice irrigation. Rice irrigation was one of the first things brought to Japan by Yayoi people. There's also no evidence that Yayoi were Koreans. Only that they share similiar pottery with Korea. But this can debunked by the fact that Koreans learned their pottery skills from China. And the latest eugenics study shows 70 percent of modern Japanese are the Kofun people, which hail from Yangtze China. There are some migrations from Korea due to close proximity. That's why there are some Korean DNA mixed into an already established 'Japanese race'. The harder question is what people were the Kofun that came from China. As Yangtze River Basin was home to Miaos, and many other tribes. Also, it's worth noting the possible existence of Queen Himiko proves Yayoi are not Koreans. This is another long story.
    2
  130.  @MR_TRIPLE_ONE  The main takeaway is that Japanese are a mixed ethnicity not homogeneous. There are ones that look Caucasian (Jomon) which is quite different from the features of South East Asians or Austronesians and there are many examples of these seen in daily ordinary and famous people in Japan. Since I can't attach pics for example, I won't go further into it.
    2
  131.  @MR_TRIPLE_ONE  Jomon had Caucasian features, and the term itself isn't relegated to solely white Europeans but the Caucasus. People with Caucasoid features i.e Middle Eastern, Indians etc. Gene expression manifest itself in strange ways.
    2
  132.  @marioplayer1410  you have no education and lack critical sources. thus your opinions mean nothing.

  133.  @lupimali9504  pls watch out, this Sean Song guy has started trolling me now and apparently he has multiple accounts. He spammed me an hour ago with the same copy and paste hate comments but with different usernames. Blocked him. I think my factual findings about Japan made him go berserk.
    2
  134. Not exactly.
    2
  135.  @koukidenhikaitu4990  they are from the "mainland Continent" as Japanese would refer to China at the time. But genetically Yayoi isn't relegated to Chinese or Koreans. They are a proto mongoloid group. And Koreans themselves originated from the Yemaek people who look vastly different from modern Japanese.
    2
  136. There is. Koei made a Japanese version called Samurai Warriors
    2
  137.  @arc2348  typical Korean strawman argument lol. There's no need to refute nonsense.
    2
  138. The latest eugenics study on Japanese genome and haploid DNA concludes 71% of modern Japanese are categorized Kofun from Yangtze basin. Even Japan's own testing prior years shows only 16% match with Koreans (Yayoi), Chinese 24%. There are many studies and testing variance. Koreans choose which one they want to believe.
    2
  139.  护花铃  You are funny. Records are far back as the Tang have recorded Japan as the island WA. Which Japanese still refer themselves to today. Like Wa-fuku Japanese clothes. Every Wa is Japanese and this came from Chinese naming.
    2
  140.  @thierrytecumseh734  Learn to read. I basically stated that in the first paragraph.
    2
  141. Thanks for the info. you're right it does look the same.
    2
  142. According to Shujing historical records, ancient Korea was actually the territory of the Zhou Dynasty. Later, the Zhou emperor granted ancient Korea to Jizi, so ancient Korea became a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty. ————————————————— "Shangshu Dachuan·Volume 2": "King Wu released Jizi from prison, but Jizi could not bear Zhou's release and fled to Korea. King Wu heard about it and gave Jizi Korea."

  149.  @vencera2954  Lol, Korea is known to spread pseudo history and historical distortions when in comes to China and Japan because they are leader to no one and subjects to all. I'm Canadian of Asian ancestry. I have a major in East Asian anthropology and a polyglot well versed in Chinese, Japanese, Malay, French. I have far more authority on the subject than you ever will. Chinese history and civilization predates Korea (no such term during the Tang dynasty). Book? Let's talk about books as the Chinese invented the paper, ink and essentially documented the earliest records of the Tunguistic nomads that were roaming Silla and Baekje 😂 And Queen Himiko was omitted from Nihon Shoki (日本書紀) for obvious reasons and her existence questioned in Japanese literature. No need to further respond to your false arguments.

  159. I wouldn't read too much into it. Chinese, Korean, Japanese are all different and distinct. So you found some Korean DNA in you? That's like saying a French having some genetic match with a German. They are both Europeans so of course there would be some DNA match. Same with African tribes and different Middle Eastern groups.

  175. You are right. Japan's actual history is about 10,000 though much of it's 8000 years prior are undocumented. This is normal as paper hasn't been invented yet by China. China has early documented history because of the invention of paper, ink, brush. Europeans had to carve their history in lime stones.
