text: Japan is an ethnically homogeneous country, with ethnic Japanese being about 99% of the population, but it still has its small ethnic minorities. Among these are the Koreans. You'll never see them though. People of Korean descent number about 900,000 in Japan. Some choose to become naturalized Japanese citizens, thus making subsequent offspring Japanese citizens by birth. Ethnic Koreans who choose not to obtain Japanese citizenship are called ''Zainichi'', and the popular stereotype is that they are singers or entertainers (many of the most famous individuals are). Many of those who came from UsefulNotes/NorthKorea, as well as current-day South Korea and wished to preserve their united Korean nationality, remained loyal to the North Korean regime; the group which represents their interests, the Ch'ongryŏn, is a controversial topic in Japanese politics.Japan and both North and South Korea have long had a tense relationship, as Japan invaded Korea in the late 16th century, then [[ImperialJapan conquered Korea in the early 20th century and ruled it with an iron fist for more than thirty years]] while actively trying to [[CulturePolice destroy its culture and language]]. Tensions get stirred whenever either country's newest nationalist right-wing group says something to stir the pot, and Japanese revisionism spearheaded by ultra-right wing groups creeps in from time to time.Note that in South Korea especially, [[http://askakorean.blogspot.com/2009/05/protests-in-korea.html protests are]] [[http://www.kyotojournal.org/kjselections/koreanprotest.html quite common]], and can occasionally be pretty freaking scary. Therefore, it may be that some Japanese writers are hesitant to include Korean characters for fear of backlash.Today, just as with naturalized citizens of Korean descent, most ''Zainichi'' Koreans in Japan were born in Japan and fully assimilated into Japanese domestic culture, maintaining a largely informed Korean ethnic identity. They usually speak only Japanese (perhaps studying Korean as a second language), and often have Japanese names. Additionally, Koreans in Japan are not a "visible minority"--an average Korean has few or no obvious superficial "racial" differences from an average Japanese.[[note]]Indeed, one theory--backed up by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_Japonic significant but inconclusive linguistic evidence]]--holds that the Japanese are descended from Koreans who crossed the Sea of Japan in search of a better life and escape from the political turmoil of Ancient Korea.[[/note]] All these things make ''Zainichi'' casually indistinguishable from other Japanese people, including to their friends and neighbors in Japan.However, [[http://www.hrdc.net/sahrdc/hrfeatures/HRF39.htm Japanese of Korean ancestry]] are still one of the biggest hot button issues in the country. They are still legally considered foreigners and as such face several restrictions (such as the inability to vote or hold management positions in the public sector, a law that [[http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Japan/GB08Dh01.html the Supreme Court upheld in 2005]]). They are considered ''Special Permanent Residents'' of Japan.Because almost all Japanese works or works set in Japan are "Korean-free", only exceptions should be listed.Compare StereotypesOfChinesePeople.----!!Exceptions:[[foldercontrol]][[folder:Anime and Manga]]* ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga_Kenkanryu Manga Kenkanryu]]'': An infamous political manga about the relations between Japan and South Korea and a response to the rising popularity of Korean entertainment in Japan. The Japanese are depicted as standard MukokuSeki while the South Koreans look very "Asian" and ugly. Not only that, they are aggressive, are hateful towards Japan and pretend that most Japanese cultural landmarks originate from Korea. The truth is that many "Japanese cultural landmarks" ''do'' originate in other countries, including Korea.* ''ComicBook/BlakeAndMortimer'': Professor Sato has a Korean assistant called Kim, who [[spoiler:undergoes a FaceHeelTurn]].* In Creator/OsamuTezuka's manga series:** In ''{{Ayako}}'' a minor character is a fat Korean-Japanese called Gosei Kinjo who is revealed to be [[spoiler:TheMole in a subplot involving a CIA agent, and is killed in the end]]. He looks very "Asian" compared to the other MukokuSeki Japanese, including his manner of speaking.** ''Manga/{{Phoenix}}'': in the last two volumes, the main character is Nerima, a prince who escaped from the then-just-conquered Korean kingdom of Baekje. He is as MukokuSeki-looking as the others. The fact that he [[spoiler:becomes accepted as a Japanese citizen and gets reincarnated as a fully Japanese man in the future may help]].* ''Manga/BlackJack Neo'': in this homage/sequel of Tezuka's manga by Mazayuki Taguchi, the first chapter is about Blackjack who gets interested in the works of a female J-pop singer. She [[spoiler:is revealed to actually be a North Korean refugee who has undergone a sex-change and plastic surgery by Blackjack himself, taking on the identity of a Japanese girl who had died in a disaster]].* ''Manga/BarefootGen'' has Mr. Pak, and Gen is one of his few friends.** Early on in the manga Gen and his brother sing a racist song about Koreans (they smell bad and wear funny shoes, or something like that) and their father gives them a tongue-lashing about it, telling them that the song is ignorant and hurtful.** The abuse and persecution that Mr. Pak and other Koreans receive at the hand of Japanese citizens and government is an ongoing subplot in the manga.* In ''{{Kiichi}}!!'', Chan-Su and his mother are both Korean.* Mi Yeong Yi, or Miyon, of ''KamichamaKarin'' is one of Himeka and Karin's friends, and is drawn with slightly different eyes, but still as MukokuSeki.* ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'': Im Yonsoo representing the Republic of Korea. His depiction in the manga (as a child-like, naďve KnowNothingKnowItAll and AnnoyingYoungerSibling who has [[BrothersisterIncest incestuous crushes]] on both China ''and'' Japan) has drawn the ire of [[MoralGuardians some Koreans circles]]. Ire that had the anime pulled from TV before its first episode aired (thank God for the webcast).** Yonsoo also says everything was created by him, much like the first example.** The main ire was a strip where Korea groped Japan, and Korean protesters took this as an allegory to Liancourt island controversy.** South Korea was due to be made canon in the anime, he even had a design and personality, but has yet to be drawn and probably won't be due to the controversy surrounding Korea. Sadly, this also brought ''huge'' racism from the Japanese and American Fandom, which at some point were seen sprouting extremely ugly racist insults against South Korea ''as a whole''. Although some people were just upset that {{Executive Meddling}} had forced a character they had thought funny and cute to be cut out of an anime they liked.** As of December 2011, Himaruya has [[TakeAThirdOption taken a third option]]. Korea is out of the merchandising and the anime, but he keeps drawing him in the webcoming strips as well as on his blog since he can do whatever he wants there. As proof, Korea has quite a colorful part in the ''Manga/{{Hetaween 2011}}'' event.* Touya Akira's school Go club teacher from ''Manga/HikaruNoGo'' is a Korean resident in Japan.** Hikaru also stumbles into a Korean-run Go shop and irritates everyone there when he shows his complete ignorance of anything Go-related, especially when it comes to Korea. He does, however manage to befriend the shop owner's grandson Hong Su-Yeong after [[DefeatMeansFriendship beating him in Go]].** There is also the Korean team in the Hokuto Cup, whose leader Ko Yeong-ha surprisingly defeats Hikaru to win the cup.* Koryo Arc from ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' takes place in an alternate historic Korea. The manga CLAMP based this alternate universe around, ''The Legend of Chung Hyang'', is also about a legendary Korean heroine.* The anime version of ''Series/WinterSonata'' averts the lack of Koreans in anime, as not only is the entire cast Korean, they also speak fluent Korean (expected since they're voiced by the actors from the original K-drama series) with Japanese subtitles and the story predominantly takes place in Korea.* ''KinnikumanNisei'' Unlike the original {{Kinnikuman}}, there ''are'' several Korean Chojin including Namul, Jijimiman, Bossam, and Tteok.** Though an alien as opposed to a Korean, the original series did have the Chojin princess Bibinba, the Japanese spelling of ''bibimbap''. [[UnknownRival Starting as an enemy]], she [[DefeatMeansFriendship fell for Suguru]] and became his LoveInterest and eventual mother of ''Nisei'''s protagonist.* ''Anime/NerimaDaikonBrothers'' has one episode involving a Korean-owned pachinko parlor-- and this being an over-the-top parody series, the employees have all had plastic surgery to make them look like Korean pop idols. The Hell.* Science fiction anime with ethnically diverse casts can include Korean characters, such as Kim Kyung Hwa from ''Anime/IrresponsibleCaptainTylor'' and Myung Fan Lone from ''Anime/MacrossPlus''.** Of note is that "Myung Fan Lone" is not a Korean name at all; while "Fan" is probably meant to be a Korean "Hwan" or "Hwang" ("f" does not exist in Korean nor does "hw" in Japanese), no combination of that and "ron" or "rong" (l exists in neither) makes a name common in Korean, and while "Myun" is a Korean surname, it's pronounced "myuh-ng" and not "myoong" as it is in-series.* Kim in ''Manga/{{Inubaka}}'' is a Korean studying in Japan, and while he's drawn a little different (more obviously Asian), he's depicted in the same positive fashion as everyone else. The series even mentions the Korean custom of eating dog meat without a value judgment.* In ''Manga/HighSchooloftheDead'', there is a zombie that resembles to Bae Yong-Joon (a Korean actor who is well known for his live-action role of Kang Joon Sang from the drama ''Series/WinterSonata'' as mentioned above) that got sniped in the head by Rika [[FriendlySniper Minami]]. Needless to say, due to UnfortunateImplications, not to mention the very positive portrayal of one character's [[RightWingMilitiaFanatic ultra-nationalist]] parents and a number of uncomfortably right-wing works in the creator's past, many Koreans were NOT amused.* Presumably Yu Park in ''Daphne in the Brilliant Blue''.* There is a Korean team in ''Whistle!'', which is the final opponent in the anime.* In ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'', there is a minor Mithril member named Yang Jun-kyu. Also in the series, we are introduced to an ex-North Korean spy named Wraith. * In ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa World Youth Cup'', the South Korean team is featured in the early stages. Its two major stars are [[IllBoy Cha Inchon]] and [[TheAce Lee Young-Woo]], who are portrayed quite sympathetically. Then again, this is a sports manga, so there are no real rivals -- as much there are jerks, but no one is beyond redemption.* Averted in the third season of ''InazumaEleven'', where the South Korean team plays against Inazuma Japan in the final match of the Asian League. The Korean team, named Fire Dragon, has the reputation of the strongest team in Asia, and although eventually Inazuma Japan beats them, the team is shown to be quite formidable. Choi Chan-soo, the captain of the Korean team, is based on the real-life soccer player Park Ji-Sung, who plays with Manchester United. Also, [[spoiler: Aphrodi, who had made impressive appearances in previous seasons as both an enemy and an ally, is in that team, greatly shocking the audiences of both countries. Word of God says that he is actually a first-generation Korean, rather than a Zainichi.]] * The ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'' manga features an oddly young and womanizing magistrate who is implied to be Korean, as his real name is Kim.* Both Creator/MamoruOshii ''Anime/GhostInTheShell'' movies take place in an ambiguous location with a seemingly pan-Asian society - the main characters have Japanese names, but the city they're in is modeled after Hong Kong and has signs containing Chinese kanji. ''Innocence'' takes this a step further by having a Cantonese-speaking faction and characters with non-Japanese names, including a hacker named Kim.* ''Manga/TigerMask'' has two RealLife wrestlers from Korea: Kim Sin-rak, better known as Wrestling/{{Rikidozan}}, appears in various flashbacks in his real-life roles as founder of pro-wrestling in Japan and trainer of Giant Baba (his Korean origins are quietly ignored), while Kintarō Ōki is plainly declared as being South Korean in the Pan-Asian Tournament (in which he takes part as the South Korean wrestler and using his real name Kim Il). Bonus point to the authors for showing both them as the capable fighters they actually were, with Ōki dropping the average Tiger's Cave wrestler with a single headbutt and, in his [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Crowning Moment Of Awesome]] even outsmarting the in-universe [[WorldsStrongestMan strongest wrestler in history]] (he knew he couldn't defeat him, so he used a small chance occasion to give Tiger Mask a shot at defeating him. And succeeded).* Ri Akitoshi, the senior goalkeeper for Enoshima High School in ''Manga/AreaNoKishi'', is ethnically Korean, as revealed in the manga such as v.18 c.149 and v.23 c.188. Kim Daesun, a midfielder for Tsujido Academy, is also Korean.* [[TheDragon Choe Gu-Sung]] in ''Anime/PsychoPass'' is a genius [[TheCracker hacker and cyber-criminal]], in addition to being the series' BigBad right hand and [[VillainousFriendship childhood friend]], making him a rare villainous example. * In AshitaNoJoe, the Asian-Pacific boxing champion is a South Korean man named Ryuuhi Kin [[spoiler: with a massively DarkAndTroubledPast in which he beat a man to death few after the Korean War... and said man [[SelfMadeOrphan turned out to be his long-lost father]]. Due to this, Ryuhi has a massive phobia of blood.]]** There's also Kim Yongpi, a military boxer from the second TV series. Voiced by none other than Creator/NorioWakamoto!*** For the record, this becomes a CastingGag, as Wakamoto later voiced [[Film/{{Rocky}} Ivan Drago]], another military boxer, except he's Russian than Korean.[[/folder]][[folder:Film]]* ''LindaLindaLinda'': In this movie about four schoolgirls who form a band, the lead singer, Son, is an exchange student from Korea. Although she has difficulty communicating with the other girls in Japanese, she's portrayed in a very positive light.* The [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible Bizarre Existentialist]] film ''Death By Hanging''/''Kōshikē'' features an ethnic Korean, R, sentenced to death. After he mysteriously revives, the Japanese men in charge of the execution debate on what to do with him. The racism that some of the officers hold towards the teenaged R is highlighted, deeply discussed and eventually lamented as a hurdle that cannot yet be overcome. This film is from ''1968''.* Very much [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in ''Film/YakuzaGraveyard''. Iwata and Keiko are both Korean, and Japanese xenophobia is a recurring theme in the movie. [[/folder]][[folder:Live Action TV]]* The four-episode romantic comedy ''Friends'' (no connection to [[{{Friends}} the American sitcom]]) is actually a very progressive Japanese/Korean collaboration. A woman from Japan and a man from South Korea meet in Hong Kong, fall in love, and start a long-distance relationship; she goes to a class to learn Korean and befriends a Zainichi girl who's there to get in touch with her heritage.* There's been a trend of KoreanDrama series and movies gaining much regional popularity, even in Japan. {{Shout Out}}s can be seen in shows like ''Series/KamenRiderDenO'' (one movie opens with Urataros dressed as Bae Yong Jun) and ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger'' (Saki states that she follows Korean drama, and one episode features a high school wih a drama club that's also sending up Bae Yong Jun). Korean dramas in Japan are the equivalent to the Mexican telenovela fanbase in America, as these dramas tend to fall into what the West calls "SoapOpera".* ''IronChef'' had one Korean challenger, Lee Myong Suk, who challenged Chen Kenichi in Battle Liver.* ''Franchise/TrainMan'' had a subplot where a Hanshin Tigers fan had a relationship with a Korean waitress.[[/folder]][[folder:Video Games]]* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': Kim, Chang and Choi are three Korean playable characters. They are not rendered in a stereotypical way, though the latter two may have been joke characters in the beginning, and Kim himself has faced a lot of {{Flanderization}} over the years. However, [[MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales Choi became very popular with Korean players]].** It's eventually lampshaded in KOF XIII, in Kim's pre-fight chat with Goro Daimon. Kim alludes to the rivalry between Korea and Japan since Daimon is a famous Judoka who won gold in the Olympics and Kim himself is the former TKD world champion, but Daimon politely disagrees as he feels [[HonorBeforeReason Kim's words are too pretentious]] [[GoodIsOldFashioned for his personal taste]]. They reach a healthy medium via agreeing on how [[SoMyKidsCanWatch they want to set good examples for their kids]] anyway. ** Let's not forget Kim's sons Jae Hoon and Dong Hwan (featured in ''Garou: Mark Of The Wolves'', from the ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' saga), his old friend Jhun Hoon, ''and'' his pupil May Lee.*** Kim's other pupils Chae Lim from ''KOF Maximum Impact'' and Seo Yeong-Song from Buriki One, his possible ancestor Kim Hye-Ryeong from SamuraiShodown, and Kim Sue-Il from ''KizunaEncounter'' who looks and fights exactly like him with a staff... but was revealed to, unlike what the fandom believed, [[{{Jossed}} NOT be blood-related to Kim]].**** Kang Jae-Mo from ''Rage of Dragons'', Kim Dragon (certain versions claim he is Chinese) from World Heroes, and Lee Hae Gwon from ''Aggressors of Dark Kombat'' seem to be the only SNK Koreans to not use Taekwondo.***** [[BruceLeeClone Kim Dragon]] ''was'' Chinese... but only in the first game. From the second one on, his nationality was {{ret con}}ned to South Korean. Most likely because latter ''WorldHeroes'' games would include other Chinese or Chinese-inspired characters, like [[Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms Ryoufu]] and [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest Son Gokuu.]]* Trevor Spacey is an albino Korean in ''VideoGame/MetalSlug 4''. Other than Eri, the Asians in Metal Slug seem to always have Western names.* Han Juri in ''Super StreetFighter IV''. Who is, of course, [[UnfortunateImplications quite evil.]] But she [[RuleOfCool also has]] PsychicPowers... The weirdest part about all this is that she was put in there because Korean fans had been asking Capcom to put in a Korean character for some time. GoneHorriblyRight or GoneHorriblyWrong?** She seems to be [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juri_Han#Reception more popular in the west and Japan]] than in Korea, so take that as you will.* In the obscure ''Street Fighter Online Mouse Generation'', there is a Zainichi fighter named Shin who uses Taekwondo.* The ShootEmUp-slash-Fighting Game ''VideoGame/SenkoNoRonde'' has a Korean character, named Baek Changpo. Saying that she is a GenkiGirl is an understatement.* The video game series ''{{Suikoden}}'' happily averts, with two of the major characters in the first two games ([[TheGambler Tai Ho]] and [[BlindingBangs Yam Koo]]) being not only very Korean, but heroic.** Tai Ho and Yam Koo are both very plausible Chinese names, especially if you consider the variety of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chinese_dialects Chinese dialects]] out there that permit huge permutations in pronunciation; this seems a bit more plausible considering how ''Suikoden ''is essentially the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Margin Heroes of the Marsh story]] set in Fantasy China.** Tai Ho is also not a viable name in Korean, either.* ''Kunio-Kun no Nekketsu'' Soccer League, the [[NoExportForYou Japan-only]] sequel to Nintendo World Cup, features the Korean soccer team. They are the weakest team in the game, being even worse than such [[SarcasmMode real-life soccer powerhouses]] like Thailand, Mongolia, and New Guinea. Considering that in real life, the Korean soccer team is one of the strongest in Asia, and that it has a winning record against the Japanese team (especially back when the game was released, before the Japanese team greatly improved)... meeep.* {{Namco Bandai}} sometimes includes Korean characters into their games, like Baek Doo San and Hwoarang in the ''{{Tekken}}'' Series or Seong Han-myeong, Seong Mi-na, Hwang Seong-gyeong and Hong Yun-seong in the {{Soul Series}}, Han Daehan in Ergheiz: God Bless the Ring.** Incidentally, Hwang Seong-gyeong was originally made as a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute of Mitsurugi for the Korean arcade version of ''Soul Edge'' (due to the fact that Korean laws banned the depictions of samurais in their pop-culture), but Namco liked the character so much (and Hwang actually became [[EnsembleDarkhorse quite beloved by gamers of all places]]) that they included him in later versions. In ''Soul Calibur'', which had both, Hwang and Mitsurugi, Mitsurugi ended up being replaced by another character named Arthur, supposed to be a foreigner raised in Japan.* Kim Dae-Jeong, which was humorously translated as Kim De John, and his cousin Kim Mihee in the Shoot 'Em Up, ''VideoGame/CastleOfShikigami''. Though Dae-Jeong is said to be a "Taekwondo Master", this is an Informed Ability, as he throws swords in the game.* Park Dae Suk in ''Urban Reign'' is a goth Korean Taekwondo master who looks like a cross between Kadaj from Final Fantasy and Hwoarang from Tekken.* A large part of the plot of ''Yakuza 2'' involves a Korean mafia group hell-bent on revenge for the deaths of most of its members. [[spoiler:In fact, several major plot twists in the game are along the lines of "(Character X) ''is actually Korean''!"]] There's also a side mission that consists of escorting a Korean pop star named Il Yu-Jin around the city while avoiding his rabid fans.** Yakuza 4 averts it even more, with the area of Little Asia. It's mostly Chinese and Thai, but Tanimura (who speaks fluent Korean) is often an interpreter for the police department when dealing with Korean immigrants. They're often mentioned in sideplots, especially as laborers that Tanimura wants to protect from being exploited. ** The film version of the first game averts it as well, with a Korean barber who helps both the police, as well as a Korean hitman who is in the city.* Jonathan, the giant with the mohawk, from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'', is a Korean-American.* In Japan, [[{{Mario}} Bowser]]'s name is ''Kuppa'' (which was anglicized as Koopa and referring instead to the Koopa ''race''). ''Kuppa'' is Japanese for gukbap, a Korean soup with rice. Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto wanted to name the character after a Korean cuisine dish, and considered naming him after bibimbap (''Bibinba'') or yukhoe (''Yukke'') before settling on gukbap and thus ''Kuppa''. When the Mario series were translated to Korean, a phonetic round-trip translation was used for ''Kuppa'', making Bowser's Korean name ''Kupa'' rather than the original ''Gukbap''.* The Japan-only soccer game for the Super Famicom/Super NES ''Super Formation Soccer 94'', has one of the most [[UnfortunateImplications unfortunate]] cases of this trope: The game was based in the USA World Cup in 1994, but the South Korean team was NOT included in that game, despise in the RealLife, that country qualified over Japan due of the infamous [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agony_of_Doha Tragedy/Agony of Doha]] incident, so the whole exclusion of the South Korean team was considered as a tear-jerker reaction and a TakeThat from the programmers. This was subverted later, since Human released another version of this game, not only with the South Korean team included, but also with other European teams that didn't even qualify for the World Cup in that time (like Wales and England).* Yun from Pop'n Music. In her "losing" sprite, she sighs while saying "Ahniyo..." which means "No...."* In the cancelled game Ken-Ju by Sammy, there was originally going to a Korean fighter named Lee Jongha* Lee Hyun-Jung designs Pokémon from ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' and onwards and is a regular among the [[TabletopGame/{{Pokemon}} Trading Card Game]]'s illustrators.[[/folder]][[folder:Visual Novels]]* In the GirlsLove VisualNovel ''Safizumu no Gensou'', one of the choices for main character and [[SchoolgirlLesbians Schoolgirl Lesbian]] Anri is the young Korean girl, Fan Soyoung.[[/folder]][[folder:Real Life]]* Voice actress Creator/RomiPark, best known for playing Ed Elric in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', is ethnically Korean.** Reportedly, YoshiyukiTomino ripped someone a new asshole (verbally) after that someone disparaged Park because of her ethnicity. (She played the main character of Tomino's series ''Anime/TurnAGundam''.)** The Japanese dub of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' is an aversion. Romi Park is Finn, and Lady Rainicorn is voiced by another Korean-Japanese voice actress (Young Bong-hi) who speaks Korean.* Another Real Life example: DJ Towa Tei (or Dong-Hwa Chung), famous for being a member of early-90s dance group Deee-Lite. He was born in Japan, but has Korean ancestry.* Japanese recording artist, actress and radio host Crystal Kay was born and raised in Japan but her father is African-American and her mother is Korean.* A real-life aversion is Korean singer Music/{{BoA|Korea}} who is the only Asian artist who isn't Japanese to sell over 2 million records in Japan.** More records have been set by Korean groups DBSK, KARA, and Girls' Generation, the latter two both reaching number one on the Oricon charts with their singles. The most recent Girls' Generation album (release June 1) has just broken Music/{{BoA|Korea}}'s first week album sales record in Japan. KARA's members jointly star in their own TV drama in Japan, as well: Urakara.* Yet another RealLife example - [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masayoshi_Son Masayoshi Son]], formerly the richest man in Japan (second richest currently).* Japanese model, actress known for playing Mikasa Ackerman in the live action Attack on Titan movie, fashion designer and rumored on-and-off girlfriend of BigBang's G-Dragon, Kiko Mizuhara (birth name: Audrie Daniel) is half-American, half-Korean (her mother is Zainichi) but [[InternetBackdraft God help you if you go onto Korean message boards and say that she is Korean, let alone even mention her name.]] She...kind of has a bad reputation with Korean netizens. And Japanese netizens, for that matter.* Soccer player Tadanari Lee, who plays for Southampton and is a regular in the Japanese national team, is a son of third-generation Zainichi Koreans. In fact, he had trained with the U-20 Korean team, but racism from his teammates for being Zainichi led him to opt for Japan instead.* And ''another'' RealLife example would be [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mas_Oyama Mas Oyama]], the Zainichi Korean who founded the Kyokushinkai style of karate; was also featured on BadassOfTheWeek.* In real life, one of the most prominent Japanese fighters in the UFC was Yoshihiro Akiyama, an ethnic Korean. Known for his supermodel good looks, he was nicknamed "Sexyama" by fans and was on the main card of the biggest event in UFC history, UFC 100.* {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er Wrestling/{{Rikidozan}}, the man who essentially ''introduced'' pro wrestling in Japan, was presented as Japanese even though he was actually born in South Hamgyong in what is now North Korea. Even his real name was represented as "Mitsuhiro Momota," even though he was actually born "Kim Sil-lak."* The trope applies mainly to the Koreans who migrated to Japan during the Japanese rule of Korea between 1910 and 1945 or the period immediately following this. Historically, the linkages between Korea and Japan run even deeper, as numerous peoples from the Korean peninsula have settled in Japan for various reasons. One big wave came after the unification of the Korean peninsula in the 7th century by the kingdom of Shilla, when remnants of the defeated kingdoms fled to Japan. Numerous Japanese aristocratic clans originating from this period, including Ouchi, Soga, Kudara no Konikishi (which literally means ''King of Baekje'', as this clan was the former royal family of that Korean kingdom), and Toyota have been variously claimed to have Korean origins. Through these clans, which wielded a great deal of influence in early Japanese history and married into the imperial family, the Japanese imperial family is also partly Korean, as was explicitly noted by Emperor Akihito in 2001. Later, during and after the destructive invasion of Korea by Japan in the late 16th century, many Korean craftsmen, especially makers of highly valued ceramic ware, settled in Japan, by force, inducement, or both, especially in Kyushu. Until the late 19th century, they were allowed to maintain their customs as long as they produced fine wares for use by the Japanese aristocracy. Some descendants of these people rose to prominence in Japan, such as Togo Shigenori, also known by his Korean name Park Moo Duk, who was the foreign minister of Japan in the 1930s.** Interestingly, during the era of Japanese imperialism, this trope was often inverted by Japanese government propaganda, especially by the late 1930s and 1940s. Obviously, there were many Koreans in the Japanese Empire, as all of Korea was under Japanese control. But invoking historical connections between Korean and Japanese people provided a justification for Japanese rule over not only Korea--where the Japanese had historical roots, or so the claim would go--but also Manchuria, which has long been claimed by irredentist Korean nationalists.* At lot of Pachinko Parlors are run by Koreans. To be specific North Koreans. And evidence has come out that a lot of the profits of the parlors are then funneled to support the regime there.[[/folder]]----

I had a repeat of basal cell cancer on my nose. It was misdiagnosed for 6 or seven years and had grown under the skin surface. I had to have a large skin graft. Dr. Maloney and Dr. Geist did an excellent job and made me feel confident that I would be ok.

Had a basal cell carcinoma on my face. It was growing for 7-8 years because a previous Dr. had said it was nothing and gave me hydrocortisone cream for it. Was referred to Dr. Maloney and she and her "fellow", Dr. Giest, and the rest of the staff, were wonderful. This cancer had become very large and I had to have a lot of skin removed to fix it. I was very concerned about the scarring because it was in the middle of my face. It has been two weeks, and although there is still swelling, I can tell the the scarring will be minimal. Everyone was friendly, caring, and competent. Because I had to drive from quite a distance, I would usually get there early. Almost every time, I was seen shortly after I got there, even before my appointment time. I would recommend this Doctor to anyone who needs Mohs surgery.

There is little linking between Microsoft, Apple and healthy collaboration practices. In fact, the two companies have stopped at nothing in taking swings at one another. However, while Apple has been upfront about Microsoft, the Redmond Company has considered more subversive tactics. All is fair in love and war, and the constant face-off between the Redmond and the Cupertino companies has pushed Microsoft to implement disputable business practices.
In this regard, all the way back in 1997, Microsoft considered delivering a great deal of harm to Apple by canceling the Mac Office 97 suite. "The pace of our discussions with Apple as well as their recent unsatisfactory response have certainly frustrated a lot of people at Microsoft. The threat of cancelling Mac Office 97 is certainly the strongest bargaining point we have, as doing so will do a great deal of harm to Apple immediately. I also believe that Apple is taking this threat pretty seriously, and at least someone there seems to want to move forward," stated Mac Business Unit Chief Ben Waldman in an email addressed to Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates.
Although it is clear that Microsoft did in fact deliver Office for Mac, this email shows the true face of Microsoft when it comes to dealing with its competitors. Gates' reply proposes two questions. On the background of considering canceling Mac Office 97, Gates asked about a realistic date for shipping the product and about the chances that Apple could be kept in the dark for a month on Microsoft's plans on the matter.
"Regardless of the outcome of these discussions, though, I believe we should ship Mac Office 97. Furthermore, I believe we need to decide this immediately - our indecision so far has caused quite a bit of harm, and this will become far worse very shortly, as we are not only close to shipping code externally, but need to finally start press and customer communications," Waldman added.

Taco Bell Sued over Beef Taco
Someone has got a beef with Taco Bell. A woman recently filed a lawsuit claiming that the fast food chain's beef taco contain so little meat that it can't be legally called "beef."
Attorney Dee Miles said attorneys had Taco Bell's "meat mixture" tested and found it contained less that 35 percent beef.
The lawsuit on behalf of Taco Bell customer and California resident Amanda Obney does not seek monetary damages, but asks the court to order Taco Bell to be honest in its advertising.
"We are asking that they stop saying that they are selling beef," Miles said. [...]
The lawsuit says that Taco Bell's "seasoned beef" contains other ingredients, including water, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, anti-dusting agent and modified corn starch.

As a poor college student, their 3 "tacos" for 99 cents promotions just couldn't be beat.

Product Testing
Product testing is an extremely important part of the market research process because it gives companies feedback that comes directly from potential consumers. It's a great way to take a product out of a lab environment and see how it functions under different conditions. The process often involves several methods that track the performance of a product.
Tester Qualifications
Consumers that are interested in product testing are typically screened to ensure that the product is one that they qualify to test. The participant may also have to sign and return non-disclosure agreements before the product is shipped. Individuals that qualify and complete the required documents will have the products sent to their homes.
Product Testing Companies for Canadians
Toluna Canada
Typically earn cash for completing product tests.
My Survey
Earn points convertible into cash for product testings.
Opinion Outpost
Typically earn cash for in home product testing assignments.
Mindfield Canada
Typically earn cash for completing in-home product tests.
Nielsen Homescan Canada offers its members the unique ability to scan their everyday purchases with a handheld scanner which is mailed to them to use. Although this is not a product testing opportunity, it is a unique way to get rewarded for simply shopping.
Testing And Collecting Results
The participant typically has the ability to use the product as a part of everyday life. The is often for specific time period. Most companies do internal stress testing. The product testing, on the other hand, deals with testing the product in a normal environment. This gives companies a greater perspective on how the product will function when it is used this way.
There may be times when a company may give a participant certain guidelines for using products. There may be certain conditions in which the product may or may not be used. These requirements are used sometimes to ensure that the product testing is performed accurately.
Market research companies may also require the participant to keep a journal. This helps the consumer keep accurate documentation of the product testing results. This is important because this helps the tester keep track of every detail.
Relaying Information
The length of time for the assignment all depends on the market research firm. It is the duty of the tester to keep track of the start and finish dates for testing. This is a crucial part of the process because market research firms work on deadlines. These firms often function as a bridge between the testers and the companies that sell or manufacture the product. The results must be obtained in a timely manner to meet the requirements of the assignment. Most firms have the similar policies on deadlines, but the way that the information is retrieved may vary.
There are times when the product testing may be discussed in a chat room that is opened by the market research group. The is often gives multiple testers the ability to communicate their findings all at once. This gives market research companies a instant view of the overall performance of the product from many different perspectives. This group discussion about the product can offer varying insights for the market research company on what consumers really think about the product.
Reward And Incentives
Some companies offer money for participation in a test, but most companies will typically offer the product as compensation. The testing participant may be given a new version of the product for their efforts. There are other times, however, when the tester will be allowed to keep the product that was being tested. Some companies may conduct testing and compensate the tester for their opinions on the product. Consumers that are interested in these opportunities are often inclined to add their names to more marketing research databases.
Frequency of Tests
In-home product testing opportunities arise less frequently than online surveys because clients of market research companies typically first conduct surveys with images and descriptions of new/modified products. By gathering feedback through this methodology first, they then move onto the product testing phase, which include fewer participants than the original survey. Those wishing to become a tester are advised to remain an active member of a survey panel, as this increases the likelihood of being selected to participate in a future assignment.

Linda DesChamp says:
I would be interested in participating in product testing from a reputable company.
veronica says:
Hi Linda,
You can register as a member with Toluna Canada as well as Opinion Outpost and they may contact you for product testing opportunities.
We are not a market research company ourselves and instead, are a directory of online market research companies for Canada, so we unfortunately do not offer any product testing.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has already decided on his next project – Cry Macho. But, according to a rumor that might be making the cast of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" a little nervous, he's being courted for a sequel to Twins, along with co-star Danny DeVito and director Ivan Reitman. Here's the quote, which apparently comes from an anonymous source:
"A Twins sequel Knowing Arnold, Danny De Vito and Ivan Reitman are all still in touch and want to work together again, Universal came to them about it. It's a germ of an idea that could spread fast."
Well, there you have it. Perhaps we'll be getting a Schwarzenegger throwback twofer, if this and the rumored Terminator movie both make it into production. Better idea: Combine the two for a Twins/Terminator crossover, featuring a robotic Danny DeVito mowing down civilians until he's stopped by Schwarzenegger. I'd watch that. (What's Playing)
Consider posting a comment.

Are you behind a proxy server?
Brendon, I have the same error, but I'm not a premium user. I'm using the Windows application, the most recent version. My computer runs Windows 8. I've previously used the application with no problems. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, with no improvement.
ps: What font are you using in the "staff" and "answered" images?
Are you behind a proxy?
Please try to log out and back on again.
As far as I know, I'm not behind a proxy. I'm on my home computer, with basic cable internet. I tried logging out and logging back in. I also used the task manager to ensure the application was completely shut down, and not still running in the background, before I reopened it. As I said, I've used it successfully before. Earlier this morning, in fact. My laptop had some sort of error, Windows shut itself down and restarted (as it's wont to do) and when I tried to reopen the application, I got the error.
Please try to install this version: https://d2dq6e731uoz0t.cloudfront.net/46df05282d620e14d9ddd8a60d813dad/as/Todoist_for_Windows.RC.exe and let us know if the issue persists. Also, please note that shutting down the app will not clear its cache as logging out through the TD icon in the notifications area will do.

Only one man on the planet straddles the nexus between ice skaters, Food Network fans and South Park junkies—that'd be Brian Boitano. Back in the '80s, he wowed crowds with his signature "Tano triple Lutz" and won every men's figure skating title, including an Olympic gold medal in 1988. A decade later, South Park gave his career a new pop-culture twist with the song "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" (He'd fight grizzly bears and evil robot kings, save maidens fair and build the pyramids, to start.)
Between all these exploits, the San Franciscan also learned to cook, crafting ever more elaborate dinner parties for his friends in his Russian Hill home. Last summer he parlayed that love of entertaining into an oddball Food Network show shot in his own kitchen called What Would Brian Boitano Make?, where he crafts fun party dishes like "coq au vin-guine" and bourbon bacon apple tarts.
This weekend, he's in Portland for the Bite of Oregon along with Top Chef's Dave Martin. Before that, though, Boitano, 46, talked to WW by phone, promising "not to swear" before launching into a conversation about starving skaters and Oregon berries.
WW: To be honest, the first time I turned on Food Network and saw "figure skater Brian Boitano," I was like, "What the hell?" But you're really funny and loopy on the TV show, and your recipes are great.
Brian Boitano: Yeah, loopy—"cheeky," I say…I'm a self-trained cook. I didn't start cooking until I was 25 because I had such a strict diet from training. I didn't branch out and eat a lot of things. I started meeting friends who had an interest in food and we cooked at my house all the time. You know, after I won the Olympics, we'd go out to eat every single night in San Francisco and I didn't pay for anything. It was literally free meals for a year and a half. I think that was part of the discovery; I wanted to learn how to make those things at home.
How'd you hook up with Food Network?
I approached them. I actually had a different idea for a show involving food and skating together....
That's interesting, because I think the one thing your TV show is missing is an ice kitchen.
That would be, oh my God. (Laughs.) Ice floors, then I could skate everywhere. I'd looove that. I gotta talk to [them] about the budget, you know? I [once] did a TV special where they had an ice castle and you could skate through it...you could rent rooms to sleep in. Maybe mine would be similar to that—with an ice kitchen.
You could do a holiday special!
I could do double axels in between adding ingredients. That'd be awesome.
You could have guest stars and they could do skating numbers and chop vegetables with their skates at the same time….
Exactly. Oh my God.
OK, back to the real TV show...
I call it a reality docu-soap, with great food. My thought on the recipes [which are mine] is that if my friends can't make it, I don't want to make it on TV.
What are you cooking at the Bite?
I'm revising my pear-and-almond crostata recipe with Oregon berries. I put on Facebook "I'm going to Bite of Oregon, what should I make?" Everyone said, "[Use] marionberries. They're amazing."
You mentioned your "strict training diet" as a skater. When did that start?
When I was 17 years old and the judges told me I needed to lose weight—my body-fat percentage at that point was about 4 percent. I basically starved myself. I didn't eat over 1,800 calories a day and I would skate six hours. It wasn't right. Before skating I would have a bowl of cereal, but pour the milk out so I wouldn't have those calories, and I'd have a big jug of coffee. That's it. It wasn't an ideal diet, but when you're a kid there's not a thought process of "this needs to be healthy."
I see skaters today—boys and girls—and they still look like gliding skeletons.
That's the way the judges like seeing them. I'd love teach younger athletes how to eat. Maybe that's a food thing I'll branch off into….
When you were skating full time, did you ever imagine you'd be a pop-culture phenomenon thanks to a cartoon?
No! Once I embraced it, it's just been great. When the [South Park] movie came out, I went to see it alone in the back of the theater, and when my person came on everyone was laughing and I thought, "This is really surreal. I'm watching myself and everybody's laughing and they don't even know that I'm here."
Do you catch yourself humming the song?
Oh God, no! (Laughs.) That would be pathetic wouldn't it? But my manager has it as a ringer on her cell phone.

Postproduction: culture as screenplay : how art reprograms the world
Lukas & Sternberg, 2000 - Art - 96 pages
Post-Production is the most recent essay by French curator, art critic and writer Nicolas Bourriaud. Bourriaud examines the trend, since the early 1990s, in which an increasing number of artists interpret, reproduce, re-exhibit or use works produced by others, or available cultural products, as art. Post-Production responds to the chaos of global culture in the information age. Notions of originality and creation are blurred in this new cultural landscape.

As my daughter started 2nd grade last week, I like to give the teacher a little 'beginning of the year' gift. As my husband says, I find any excuse to give a gift!! Here is a little something you can give your child's teacher any time of the year that is not only decorative, but practical too!
You'll need:
Hand sanitizer with pump
Construction or adhesive backed paper in two-three colors
Glue or double stick tape
How To:
Remove the label from the hand sanitizer (you may need to use an adhesive label remover, like Goo Gone, to do this)
Cut out a flower or other design on two colors of paper. Attach the smaller design atop of the larger one
Type a message (or have your child hand write it) like "Thanks to you, we're in good hands". Attach message to the top of the design
Tie a ribbon around the top of the bottle underneath the pump
It's as simple as that!

Speech-recognition technology is increasingly helping U.S. military doctors keep more detailed patients notes while cutting the time they spend typing on their computers.
By 2011, the U.S. Department of Defense expects to have implemented its integrated, interoperable electronic medical record system -- AHLTA -- at more than 500 military medical facilities and hospitals worldwide.
The system will be used for the care of more than 9 million active military personnel, retirees, and their dependents. Military doctors using the AHLTA system also have access to Dragon NaturallySpeaking Medical speech-recognition technology from Nuance Communications' Dictaphone health care division, allowing doctors to speak "notes" into patient records, as an alternative to typing and dictation. Over the last year, the adoption of Dragon has doubled, with about 6,000 U.S. military doctors using the software at health care facilities of all military branches, including the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps.
AHLTA was originally designed as a surveillance system to pick up on symptoms that could indicate a health problem that's developing in military personnel, said Dr. Robert Bell Walker, European Regional Medical Command AHLTA consultant and a family practice physician for the military. And as part of that original plan, AHLTA started out as an "all structured text" system. That means it was "very rigid and burdensome" for physicians to use while entering information about patients. Over time, the military has allowed the use of "free text," and more recently voice, to more easily capture physician notes and other patient information while caring for patients, he said.
The use of Dragon Naturally Speaking voice-recognition software with the AHLTA e-health record systems is freeing doctors from several hours of typing into the AHLTA their various patient notes each week, he said.
Being able to speak notes into an e-health record at the patient beside -- rather than staring at a computer screen typing -- also helps improves doctors' bedside manner and allows them to narrate more comprehensive notes while the patients are there, or right after a visit. That cuts down on mistakes caused by memory lapses and boosts the level of details that are included in a patient record, Walker said.
The voice capability "saves a lot of time and adds to the thoroughness of notes from a medical and legal aspect," said Dr. Craig Rohan, a U.S. Air Force pediatrician at Peterson Air Force base in Colorado. The ability to speak notes directly into a patient's electronic chart is particularly helpful in complicated cases, where a patient's medical history is complex, he said. Text pops up on the computer screen immediately after words are spoken into the system, so doctors can check the accuracy, make changes, or add other details.
Also, because spoken words are immediately turned into text, the medical record has "a better flow" to document patient visits. Previously, "the notes that had been created by [entering] structured text into the AHLTA system looks more like a ransom note," said Walker, with information seemingly randomly pasted together.
Doctors can speak into a microphone on their lapels to capture notes in tablet PCs during patient visits, or speak into headsets attached to desktop or wall-mounted computers.
Also, macros allow health care providers to create special functions for spoken commands. So, for instance, a computer screen will automatically display a checklist of questions about developmental milestones to ask the parent of a 2-month-old patient or a checklist of care that a diabetic patient should receive.
So, if a diabetic patient hasn't had a foot exam recently, the system can help remind doctor. "The macros are a big benefit," said Walker. They help military doctors to adhere to clinical practice guidelines and reduce the variables in care, he said.
The storage requirement of voice notes is "small," especially when compared with other records, such as medical images, said Walker.

Mortality Among Wards of the State
Children abandoned in the hôpitaux de Paris by their parents immediately after birth are turned over to the Assistance publique parisienne. Most of these children are illegitimate. The administration of the Assistance publique distributes them throughout the various departments of France, placing them in the hands of women who use, in some instances, breast feeding but more commonly artificial feeding. A periodic supervision is exercised over these nurses by the regional physicians appointed for this purpose. In spite of this supervision, which is likely to be somewhat superficial, the mortality of these children, particularly from gastro-enteritis, has been high, exceeding 60 per cent. The medical supervision was improved, with the result that the mortality was reduced to between 30 and 40 per cent. In 1920, centres d'élevage, or child-raising centers, were established. That is to say, the children were concentrated in villages, in which

Hey guys,
I'm looking to make some extra money. So I decided I would sell some crochet stuff, I've been crocheting for 13 years, and I was thinking "why not sell some stuff?"
So, since I make so many things I was thinking anyone who was interested could choose a pattern (one of the ones where the pattern designer is okay with the finished products being sold. Most patterns will tell you if that's okay or not, it's pretty safe to say that free patterns are okay)
And I will make it with my yarn, and mail it to you for a reasonable price.
I'm not sure if anyone would be interested. But it wS worth a try.
PM me or post here if you're interested. Thanks!

Quote: The Summer Cap Issues
The Blueshirts have about $41.1 million on the summer cap, including $6.5 million for Wade Redden but not including a nickel for Group II free agents Ryan Callahan, Brandon Dubinsky, Brian Boyle, Artem Anisimov and Sauer, who likely will combine for $13-15 million.
That $41.1 million number also does not include Chris Drury, who will be in at $7.05 million if he remains on the roster, or $3.717 million if there's a June buyout.
…The summer cap, something that didn't seem to exist until last summer but is something the Rangers need to keep in mind.
I wonder if they would come to terms with a player or two but not actually sign the contract until Wade Redden gets shipped down, to Europe or doesn't report and voids the contract.

Danny was big and strong and gentle, but he had a problem . . . Danny hated to work.
When Farmer Don called the horses in for oats in the morning, Danny would stand in the far corner of the pasture and refuse to come in. When Farmer Don put Danny's work harness across Danny's plump back, Danny would heave a big sigh and hang his head, pretending to be terribly sick. Farmer Don and Missus Dora were worried. How would Farmer Don get all the plowing and planting, hauling and harvesting done if Danny refused to help? Then some oatmeal cookies gave Missus Dora an idea. Danny learned a valuable lesson, and so can we. Fine watercolor paintings illustrate this fun story.
