In modern Japanese society there are two types of Japanese genetic types in the population. I don't remember the exact figures but it was something like 70% Yayoi and 30% Jomon ...so when I say Yayoi features I guess I just mean East Asian features. People with Yayoi ancestry look pretty much like Chinese and Korean people. Jomon type people have rounder faces and are kind of stockier and they are predominantly in Kyushu and southern Honshu. The Yayoi genes came from Chinese and Korean immigrants centuries ago, and the jomon genes are from the native peoples of Japan. My dad's ancestors came from Kyushu and my mom from Tokyo so I am a mix myself.
