*血液型:KETSU-EKI-GATA: Blood Type

Japanese people concern about the blood type very much (or too much).

Japanese people believe following personal characteristic of each blood type.

Type A: serious and little bit nervous. takes care about the person around him/her.
Type B: not expect-able. keeps his/her own life style.
Type AB: Mixture of Type A and B having two faces.
Type O: generous, leader type, does not care about details.

Once, I had a colleague "Akkie" (male). He told me he is blood type A and hates Type-B people.

But one day, he found his blood is Type-B by examination. He had been believing he is Type-A by his parents' suggestion.

After finding he is Type-B, he said "As I had been believing Type-A, I have took care of other people around me. It was my fault. I did not need to do so because I am Type-B.".

As for me, often my friend believes I am Type-B.

Friend: you must be Type-B.
RadioKid: No.
Friend: Then Type-O?
RadioKid: No.
Friend: Oh, Then Type-AB?
RadioKid: No.
Friend: Oh my Buddha ! Are you Type-A? Really?
RadioKid: Yes..., Unfortunately.
