Japan

Capital: Tokyo Language: Japanese National flower: Cherry Blossom and Chrysanthemum Height: 165cm 55 Japan is a small island nation in the Orient who was once a shutin hikikomori and a member of the Axis Powers but has come a long way and is now one of the most prosperous nations in the world. He has black hair which has been colored dark brown in most of the original manga illustrations and brown soulless eyes. When he first became a nation many years ago he was taken in and raised by China who considered him as a younger brother. When asked if they were related Japan denied all connections with China. Japan eventually grew hostile towards China and attacked him with a katana one night ruining their relationship and thus making them enemies in war. Today China still seems to care about Japan even though Japan shows no interest in him whatsoever. Japan seems to get along quite well with various countries such as America England Greece Turkey the Netherlands and others. In return these countries watch out for him at times. Hidekaz Himaruya also stated that even though Japan has never really been shown together with them he would also get along well with Romano and Prussia addressing them as Romanokun and Prussiakun instead of using the typical and respectful honorific san. On the other hand Japan and Russia do not get along so soundly. In the past Russia cursed Japan and in present day just by looking at him Russia can give Japan a stomachache. When Japan learned that Germany was making an alliance with Russia Japan expressed dismay and went so far as to try various methods of killing Russia such as hiding in Germanys ceiling when Russia came in order to harpoon him. Japans philosophy about Russia that That man is a monster created by fallout from nuclear tests He tears down buildings He breathes fire Hes known as being serious quiet mysterious and shy but prudish hardworking intelligent and skilled with his hands. His catchphrases are I will consider it Maybe next time and My answer is always no. Despite how usually calm he is his anger is said to be extremely frightening but just about no one has ever witnessed it due to the fact that he doesnt get angry very easily. Because he was a shutin for so many years he doesnt know much about the outside world but is always eager and makes an effort to learn. Hes described as acting like an old man or an otaku on several occasions. He actually revealed to Greece England and France once that he prefers 2D girls rather than 3D real life women. Japan seems to love animals seeing as how he has a pet dog named Pochikun a guinea pig and a rabbit. It seems as though he has a weakness for meat buns and soft fluffy things but absolutely detests cockroaches to the point where he would cry. His hobbies include watching the seasons change watching the moon and creating new forms of technology. Most people would look at his unique culture as being strange or mysterious but he finds it perfectly normal and couldnt see it as anything else. Japan cant really comprehend Western culture and is utterly appalled at Western nudity even though it was shown that he has erotic woodblock prints in his possession. Also to note is that his first name Kiku means chrysanthemum in Japanese. His last name Honda is written with the same kanji for hon as in Nihon which means Japan in Japanese.
