13th February – 如月

血液型 (Ketsuekigata)- Blood type

Do you know what blood type you are?

Most Japanese knows their own blood type and moreover they believe that the characteristic of each person can depend on blood type.

There are many fortune-telling based on blood type in Japan and even in the end of TV news, some shows include today’s lucky blood type! Even on the magazines too.

The relation between blood type and characteristics were proposed by one high school professor called 古川竹二 (Mr. Takeji Furukawa), he published a research about it in 1927. Some believe the relation is true, some does not, since all the characteristics can make people think it applies them.

Here are some of the typical characteristics for each blood types:

Type A

methodical, hard working, earnest and attentive. On the other side, blood type A people are tend to self-conscious and believe own way is always right

Type O

Friendly, easy-going. Sometimes become trouble maker and cocky

Type B

Have own pace, good at some pressure and curious. easily get bored and have self-centred mind

Type AB

Novel and Unique, efficient and good at asking help from others. However, type AB people can be sensitive and egoistic

Are these apply to you and your friends?

I started my new project 'Little Japan Dictionary' for the purpose of spreading the Japanese culture to the world. My English could be a bit weird sometimes as I am still learning, also the information I provide here could be wrong and contain my own opinion. Therefore, I would like you to just chill and enjoy gaining some interesting knowledge from here without serious argument. Hope you like it, thank you!

  1. My one is Type B

    And I am curious. If someone bleeds do you guys first see his blood type/fortune-telling based on blood OR rush him to Hospital.
    I mean if type 0 (Trouble-maker) bleeds it’s fine to let him bear some little pain for a couple of times.
