The quiet Kyushu man
The beautiful Akita woman
The stingy Nagoyan
The busy and cold Tokyoite
The conservative and exclusive Kyoto native
The perseverent Tohoku man
The drink-and-dance-all-night Okinawan
The good-at-business Osakan
The open-minded and uninhibited Dosanko (Dosanko = Hokkaido person)
I could go on but will quit there.
