From top left clockwise: Sayaka Akimoto, Harry B. Harris Jr., Sean Lennon, Arata Izumi, Renhō Murata and Angela AkiHāfu (ハーフ, 'half') is a Japanese language term used to refer to an individual born to one ethnic Japanese and one non-Japanese parent. A loanword from English, the term literally means 'half,' a reference to the individual's non-Japanese heritage.[1][2][3][4] While Japan remains one of the most homogeneous societies on the planet, hāfu individuals are well represented in the media in Japan and abroad and recent studies estimate that 1 in 30 children born in Japan are born to interracial couples.[5]Contents1 Related terms1.1 In Japanese1.2 In other languages2 History2.1 Prehistoric to feudal Japan2.2 Early modern period2.2.1 Edo period (1603–1867)2.3 Modern period2.3.1 Meiji and Taishō period (1868–1926)2.4 Contemporary period2.4.1 Shōwa period (post-war) (1926–1989)2.4.2 Heisei period (1989–2019)2.4.3 Reiwa period (2019–)3 Notable hāfu individuals4 Hāfu in popular culture5 Generalized usage6 See also7 References8 External linksRelated terms[edit]In Japanese[edit]Ainoko (間の子, lit. child in-between) - An ainoko is a Japanese person with a non-Japanese or gaijin (外人, lit. foreigner), parent. It was historically often associated with discriminating sentiment. Almost never used today in Japan.Konketsuji (混血児, lit. mixed-blood child) - A konketsuji is a Japanese person with one non-Japanese parent. It is considered a derogatory term.[6]Kwōtā (クォーター, lit. quarter) - A kwōtā is a Japanese person with one non-Japanese grandparent. The term is a loanword, based on the English word quarter and refers to an individual's 25%, or one quarter, non-Japanese ancestry.In other languages[edit]Japinoy - A person of mixed Japanese and Filipino ancestry.[7]Afro-Asian (also Blasian) - An Afro-Asian is an individual of Black African and Asian ancestry. Blasian, a portmanteau of Black and Asian, is a slang term and is regularly used among English speakers in North America.Ainoco (f. Ainoca) - An ainoco is an individual with one Japanese parent. The term is a loanword, based on the Japanese word ainoko (間の子, lit. multiracial) and is used by Portuguese speakers in Brazil and Pohnpeian speakers in Micronesia, both countries with a sizable Japanese populations.Amerasian - An Amerasian is an individual of American and Asian, especially East Asian ancestry. Historically, the term referred to children born to local women and American servicemen stationed in East Asia during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. It should not be confused with Asian American, which describes an American citizen of full or partial Asian ancestry.Eurasian - A Eurasian is an individual of White European and Asian ancestry.Hapa - A hapa is an individual of mixed Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, East Asian and/or Southeast Asian heritage. The term is a loanword, based on the English word half, as hāfu is, but, unlike hāfu, the term does not imply an individual is 50%, or half, of a certain race or ethnicity, only that they are mixed race. It is a Hawaiian term, used by English and Hawaiian speakers in Hawaii and California.Mestiço de japonês - A mestiço de japonês (lit. Japanese mestiço) or miscigenado de japonês is an individual, usually an eurasiano, with one Japanese parent, i.e. a nipônico citizen, or a nipo-brasileiro. They are Portuguese terms, used in Brazil, but enjoy less popularity than ainoco and hāfu.Native half - A half Japanese person with Japanese as their first language and is familiar around the Japanese blood-line and where the Japanese parent grew up in Japan. Basically a half Japanese person that is semi or fully familiar with Japan like a normal Japanese person in Japan.History[edit]Prehistoric to feudal Japan[edit]Hāfu refers to a person who has one ethnic Japanese parent and one non-ethnic Japanese parent. The term ethnic Japanese refers to the Indigenous Japanese people of the Japanese archipelago. Over the course of centuries the minority ethnic groups such as the Ainu and Ryukyuans were mostly assimilated into the Yamato population. Mixed race couples and thus hāfu people were rare in feudal Japan. There were mixed Asian couples between ethnic Japanese and other East and Southeast Asian peoples.The most well-regarded theory is that present-day Yamato Japanese are descendants of both the Indigenous Jōmon people and the immigrant Yayoi people.[8] The Yayoi were an admixture (1,000 BCE–300 CE) of migrants from East Asia (mostly China and the Korean peninsula).Modern mainland (Yamato) Japanese have less than 20% Jomon people's genomes.[9] In modern Japan, the term Yamato minzoku is seen as antiquated for connoting racial notions that have been discarded in many circles since Japan's surrender in World War II.[10] The term 'Japanese people' or even 'Japanese-Japanese' are often used instead.[11]Genetic and anthropological studies indicate that the Ryukyuans are significantly related to the Ainu people and share the ancestry with the indigenous prehistoric Jōmon period (pre 10,000–1,000 BCE) people, who arrived from Southeast Asia and with the Yamato people.[12][13][broken footnote][14][broken footnote][15][broken footnote][16][17][18] During the Meiji period, the Ryukyuans distinct culture was suppressed by the Meiji government and faced forced assimilation.[19]Early modern period[edit]Edo period (1603–1867)[edit] Koxinga was a Chinese monarch and hāfuEnglish sailor William Adams, a navigator for the Dutch East India Company, settled in Japan in April 1600. He was ultimately granted the rank of samurai, one of the few non-Japanese to do so. He wed Oyuki (お雪), a Japanese woman and together, they had two children, Joseph and Susanna, who were hāfu.[20]Chinese military leader Chenggong Zheng, historically known as Koxinga (1624-1662), was hāfu, born in Japan to a Japanese mother and Chinese father and raised there until the age of seven, known by the Japanese given name, Fukumatsu.[21]Modern period[edit]Meiji and Taishō period (1868–1926)[edit]Since 1899, the Ainu were increasingly marginalized. During a period of only 36 years, the Ainu went from being a relatively isolated group of people to having their land, language, religion and customs assimilated into those of the Japanese.[22] Intermarriage between Japanese and Ainu was actively promoted by the Ainu to lessen the chances of discrimination against their offspring. As a result, many Ainu are indistinguishable from their Japanese neighbors, but some Ainu Japanese are interested in traditional Ainu culture.[23]Contemporary period[edit]Shōwa period (post-war) (1926–1989)[edit]The presence of the United States Armed Forces in Japan and Asia saw the birth of many children born to American fathers; these children were called Amerasians. It's estimated that by 1952, anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 Japanese children were fathered by American servicemen, with many of the children placed for adoption by their Japanese mothers due to the stigma of out-of-wedlock pregnancy and miscegenation and the struggles of supporting a child alone in post-war Japan. One orphanage, Seibo Aijien (聖母愛児園, Seibo Aijien, Our Lady of Lourdes Orphanage), in Yokohama, run by Franciscan nuns, opened in 1946 and, by 1948, staff members were caring for 126 children fathered by American servicemen, by 1950 and 136 children.[24][25] A letter, dated 1948, detailed an incident of a malnourished infant born to a Japanese teenager whose American father refused to support for fear his wife would learn of his extramarital affair.[26] Another orphanage, opened in Ōiso by a Japanese woman named Miki Sawada, cared for more than 700 Amerasian children, none of whom were visited or supported by their American fathers.[26]Heisei period (1989–2019)[edit]Fashionable images of the half Japanese people have become prominent especially with the increased appearance of hāfu in the Japanese media.[27] Hāfu models are now seen on television or fill the pages of fashion magazines such as Non-no, CanCam and Vivi as often as newsreaders or celebrities. The appearance of hāfu in the media has provided the basis for such a vivid representation of them in the culture.[28][29]One of the earliest terms referring to half Japanese was ainoko, meaning a child born of a relationship between two races. It is still used in Latin America, most prominently Brazil (where spellings such as ainoco, ainoca (f.) and ainocô may be found), to refer to mestizo (broader Spanish sense of mixed race in general) or mestiço people of some Japanese ancestry. Nevertheless, it evolved to an umbrella term for Eurasian or mixed Asian/mestizo, Asian/black, Asian/Arab and Asian/indigenous heritage in general. At the same time it is possible for people with little Japanese or other Asian ancestry to be perceivable just by their phenotype to identify mostly as black, white or mestizo/pardo instead of ainoko, while people with about a quarter or less of non-Asian ancestry may identify just as Asian.Soon this, too, became a taboo term due to its derogatory connotations such as illegitimacy and discrimination. What were central to these labels were the emphasis on 'blood impurity' and the obvious separation of the half Japanese from the majority of Japanese. Some English-speaking parents of children of mixed ethnicity use the word 'double.'[30] Amerasian is another term for children of mixed ancestry, especially those born to Japanese mothers and U.S. military fathers.Of the one million children born in Japan in 2013, 2.2% had one or more non-Japanese parent.[70] According to the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, one in forty-nine babies born in Japan today are born into families with one non-Japanese parent.[31] Most intermarriages in Japan are between Japanese men and women from other Asian countries, including China, the Philippines and South Korea.[32] Southeast Asia too, also has significant populations of people with half Japanese ancestry, particularly in the Philippines.[33]In the 21st century, stereotyping and discrimination against hāfu occurs based on how different their identity, behaviour and appearance is from a typical Japanese person. The hafu of international marriages between Japanese and other Asians tend to blend in easier in Japanese society. They can have a bicultural identity. Their foreign side could be suppressed in Japan's homogeneous culture.The documentary film Hafu: The Mixed-Race Experience in Japan was released in April 2013. It is about the experiences of five hāfu living in Japan. It deals with issues of identity, multiculturalism, relationships, hardship and stereotyping that they face.[34][35]In September 2018, Naomi Osaka is the first Japanese woman and hāfu to contest a Grand Slam singles final and the first Japanese Grand Slam singles champion. Naomi Osaka is the winner of the 2018 US Open Women's Singles.[36][37]Reiwa period (2019–)[edit]The population is aging and decreasing due to the low birthrate in Japan. The fertility rate is about 1.36 children per woman (2019). This is far below the 2.1 children per woman that's required to maintain a stable population. Japan had 126.5 million people in 2018.[38] The population of only Japanese nationals was 124.8 million in January 2019.[39] So there's an estimated 1.7 million foreign residents in Japan which is the highest to date. 2/3rd of all migrants come from China, South Korea, and the Philippines. Currently 1 in 4 people is aged 65 and older in Japan. If the birthrate doesn't improve then there will be 1 in 3 old people by 2050.[40]The percentage of hāfu is increasing, but it is still a minority in Japan. The Government of Japan regards all naturalized Japanese citizens and native-born Japanese nationals with multi-ethnic background as Japanese. It doesn't distinguish based on their ethnicity. There's no official ethnicity census data.[41][42]Notable hāfu individuals[edit]Main article: List of notable hāfu individualsHāfu in popular culture[edit]These are fictional hāfu characters.For example 'Meghan Markle is a hāfu between a Black and a White'.[citation needed]See also[edit]AmerasianAfro-AsiansEurasian (mixed ancestry)Demography of JapanAging of JapanHapaHúnxuěrLuk khruengEurasian nomadsEurasian SteppeTatarsCrimean TatarsTurkic peoplesReferences[edit]^ Krieger, Daniel (29 November 2010).

Genes are mixed, and from one generation to another, the pureness of the blood becomes less pure. For example, many celebrities in Hollywood actually have Asian blood running through their veins. You might not notice it at first sight, because they don’t look like stereotypical Asians, but that is because their American gene is strong. Nevertheless, the beauty of today’s diversity is at full display in the following celebrities. And if you look closely, you’ll notice their Asian charm. 1. Eddie Van Halen (Part Chinese-Malaysian) Photo: tickettoentertainment.com Eddie might have a Dutch last name, but that is thanks to his father. His mother, on the other hand, was from Indonesia. So, Chinese-Malaysian blood also runs through the veins of the legendary guitar player. Who would believe it? 2. Amerie (Half Korean) Photo: nycsveryown.wordpress.com It’s hard to detect her Asian half, but Amerie is half Korean. Her mother is from Korea while her father, on the other hand, is African-American. Her parents met during the war, when her father served in the United States military. Their love resulted in a child, and her mother moved to America with her father. 3. Vanessa Hudgens (Part Irish, Native American, Filipino, Spanish, and Chinese) Photo: sizlingpeople.com So many genes are mixed in Vanessa Hudgens, it’s hard to describe. Let’s start with her father, who has both Irish and Native American blood. Her mother, on the other hand, is a native of Manila in the Philippines, but she is of Chinese and Spanish descent. The only thing all of them have in common is their gift for singing. All of Vanessa’s grandparents were musicians. And while she didn’t inherit the Asian gene, she sure did inherit that musician gene. 4. Rob Schneider (Quarter Filipino) Photo: picsofcelebrities.com Rob Schneider is one of the best comedians in Hollywood, and he takes pride in his heritage. He is part Filipino through his mother (who was half Filipino) and part Jewish through his father. Rob has asked directors not to give him roles because of his Pinoy heritage, but because of his talent and good acting. He sure makes Pinoy people proud. 5. Karrueche Tran (Half Vietnamese) Photo: carreck.com Karruche actually looks a little bit like an Asian girl.

Australia and New Zealand also fall into this category. Samoa is nothing more than part of Oceania, which isn’t part of any continent. So no, the Rock is not part Asian. Yay for learning before we port articles! Jaz October 9, 2018 at 6:00 pm | Reply Asian/Pacific Islander is a category probably because a lot of this group is of East Asian descent. You can slice it up however you like it. Look at how they divied up the “continents.” We know why they did that. In the UK any person descended from the Asian “continent” is Asian, except Whiter looking people like Russians. It’s like the one drop rule.

Nonetheless, it does not mean that all of them are either handsome or hot, but they are just more likely to be.Hapa guys and girls have a lot of success dating, either whites or asians or any other races. This can be explained by the fact that they usually tend to act more like whites than asian and so are very sociable and not geek at all.One thing to be noticed is that a lot of hapa guys do not respect their mothers for marrying a white man because even though they are probably good-looking and popular, they still feel bound to their asian brothers and hate asian-american women that only date whites.Fathers of Hapas are often white men that had a yellow fever. They usually pretend and try to be interested in the asian culture but are not. Hapa guys see their fathers as those white men with a yellow fever and do not love them.Natalie: 'What's so special with this asian guy?
