- Recently, a pro-gamer in Japan got canceled for saying that men under 170cm (5’7”) “do not have human rights.” But did you know that, according to studies, the average height for men in Japan is around 170cm? So, what do ordinary Japanese people think about this statement, and what do they consider to be the ideal height for Japanese men? We hit the streets of Tokyo to find out.
The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Japanese population.

"Well, since I'm actually 5'7" I learned that I surprisingly still have human rights. I am very grateful to be alive."
lmfao this dude has a great sense of humor
Right? That part cracked me up lmao
Exactly 🤣
I was looking for a comment like this
His sarcasm is on point 🤌🏼
He is actualy a member of the comedian-duo, Kitsune. I see him on TV some times but I was surprised to see him on Asian Boss.
THAT WAS SO FUNNY)))))
As someone who's really short (157), I don't mind the occasional jokes about my height. I've learned to live with those. What I don't like is my height being compared or equated to my worth as a person. Many times have I heard demeaning comments that make me question my self-worth because of something I can't control. It hurts.

I'm 160 male and i don't really care what other people think about my height. The think is, i have still clear mind, functional brain, good hearing and good eyes, two legs and two hands. Other than that i never consider my self lower or less than other people
Look at it this way, when someone does that you instantly know THEIR worth as a person, because how you treat others is a great indicator of someones worth, unlike height.
Agreeeeed
im also a guy that has around the same. height as you .
can totally agree with what you've just said
As a short guy I don’t think women and tall guys understand how much society finds short guys undesireable purely because of our height. Women will filter us out on dating apps by height. Media makes fun of short guys as if we deserve it.
The idea in this world is to be a tall white man or woman. Any deviation from that is seen as less than. This will never change. I'm above average at 6'1", but I'm also a black man, which is probably one of the least desirable groups of people to be. I've accepted it and just try to live my life as best I can.
Lol. You actually think black men are undesirable 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dating apps are full of superficial people who judge people on race, looks, height, nationality, etc. I don't think short people suffer nearly as much as the other categories. I've seen so many couples with the man being short, but the issue gets overblown because a lot of people in the world are short.
@@johnswagger7971 there’s nothing wrong with preferring who your dating partner is.
@@eafanboyssuck I never said there was.
my friend who's 6' 5" recently was talking to me about how he can be idealized for being tall and that it's a little frustrating because obviously has no effect on the quality of the connection you're going have with someone, just a status thing. he wasn't complaining, just pointing it out. i feel like this gamer girl is probably only/mostly concerned with status.
Lol nobody desires someone 6’5
Or she made the statement for publicity.
@@_-_-936 i don't know where you live or which people you care about the desires of, but you're wrong 🤷🏻♂️
@@naejin i would consider status/publicity the same thing in this case. she wasn't going to say something that went against what has social status.
I agree, I have a cousin that’s 17 and that tall or maybe even 6’6”
It's one thing to have a preference for a certain height, but a whole other and much worse thing to be negative to people who are not of the height range that you decided is good. There's effectively zero control over one's height (some minor diet influence growing up but that's more to do with your parents than yourself, so again out of YOUR control), making it a really messed-up factor to rude or belittling or discriminatory to someone for.
Nobody should ever be judged for factors which are truly out of their control, unfortunately we do not live in such a world. But videos like this help us collectively get closer to the ideal :)
Nobody should be judged for their outward appearance. No matter if it’s out of their control or not.
@@Sage_Lucas Source?
Just because being tall is an advantage in certain sports doesn't mean playing that sport makes you taller.
Your height is genetic unless your diet is complete garbage growing up, it will have a minimall effect on your height.
Preference and discrimination. I barely see the difference but ok
@Lalleland well physical appearance affects if the person will even give a chance to get to know u

A pretty tasteless and cruel joke on her part. You'd think she would understand, especially as a woman working in a male-dominated industry, how tiresome unsolicited comments about one's body and looks can be
it seems it was a mistranslation from an english article about that interview shown on this video. she meant that for her being at least170cm is a must when dating. so she just said she likes guys to be taller than her. nothing wrong there.
yes why are female gamers so bad compared male gamers
@@lucasbiermann257 I read the original Japanese comment - she is definitely saying, repeatedly and in various ways that men under 170cm don't have human rights.
「（身長が）170ないと、正直、人権無いんで。170センチない方は“俺って人権ないんだ”って思いながら、生きていってください。骨延長の手術を検討してください。『骨延長手術』で調べてください。170あったら人権がちゃんと生まれてくるんで」

It’s interesting to me that there are so many people who are preoccupied with height. I simply don’t consider someone’s height when I’m determining whether or not they are a good person, or someone I’d like to spend time with.
Wow that's nice to know . It's goods to know that they are people who think like you. Most people uses hight to consider giving some one a job, or judging them .
@@loveacrossworlds5612 It is not even normal to do that.
It's not really about someone being a good person. The problems arise when it comes to dating and love. Shorter men have it way harder than tall men to find love.
@myYT Acc Yes subconsiously we may do judge like that, but it is not normal, or even if normal not wise or anything good to rely on that. You might give the job to the wrong person and believe a cheater instead. And i don't think it should be surprising that someone doesn't conside height for those. It is surprising to me that people don't think about their subsconsious hints aren't everything.
Yeah you dont consider height only in the comment section but in real life we know how women are
For all the men who are insecure about their height, come to the Philippines. I'm 5'7 and I'm taller than like 80% of the guys I see on the street. The average male height here is around 5'5 probably. So more guys have human rights here, lol.

I love Asian Bosses content and am thankful for their insight given through interviews, but I wonder if they will ever come to other big cities in Japan? I live in Nagoya, and whenever I watch the street interviews, I come away thinking, "Oh, that's how people in Tokyo think", because it seems very different from the opinions I hear in Nagoya. Very different 雰囲気 even though it is the same country.
Which are the differences between both cities opinions?
Different hight can have different advantages and disadvantages like I cant reach top shelf but I can get into small places and fit where many tall people cant . Instead of judging we should use our differences to help where the other person cant reach . We can complete each other .
Not to mention the tall people and economy class seats in the aeroplanes. They can be really very tight fit and the seat back only goes up to our shoulders. Sometimes, people bang on our shoulders (if we sit in the aisle seats) when they walk up and down the aisles. The modern cars are harder to get in and out due to the smaller opening. I had easier time getting in the 1970s Volkswagen Golf than in 2020s.
@@InTeCredo yeap , there is no "ideal hight" , everything comes with ups and downs 🤷♀️
That's easier said than done, sadly. Where there is difference there will always be conflict
I know the Dutch people are very tall on average. Not only the nutrition that the Hollanders have, their genetics actually determines. The average height for Dutchmen are 183cm (6'0"), and the average height for Dutchwomen are 170cm (5'7").
I thought Australian white people are the tallest ones.
It's also because most of dutch women rejecting shorter dutch men
@@erwinsmith3198 than what about South Sudan ?
Croats, Bosnians, Serbs and Montenegrians are also in a same height range. Actually, younger generations are even taller. At 165 cm (female), I'm considered tiny in Croatia, so whenever I go to other countries, I realise that I'm not actually small.
@@San37815 incel are you already been in dutchland??!!!
We didn't grow that much taller until about a hundred years ago, due to improvements in living conditions not because we were chugging down milk every day. We're known for our dairy production, so I understand where that assumption comes from. Sources in the Netherlands however say that our average height hasn't increased in the last ten years but has been stable or declining since. According to national statistics men in 2020 were (self-reportedly) 182,9m tall and women (self-reportedly) 169,3m tall.
I think we're so used to seeing straight couples where the man is taller than the woman, especially in media, that we've come to assume that this is supposed to be the norm in society. I mean, have you ever seen a romcom where the woman was taller than the man and the film wasn't about her height?
The world in general is taller because of better living conditions and access to more nutritional food for everyone. Honestly in the past, the only people eating properly were the wealthier citizens . That was in all countries. It’s only been about 100 year since we have seen huge improvements in the world diet which coincides with the new age of technology/science that started and still continues to improve living standards that exists now.
I'm from holland and 188cm which is pretty normal for an original white dutch man. I'm 45 years old. Our White Dutch youth is growing even taller nowadays. The reason the national height is declining is because of enormous mass immigration from middle eastern countries and african states. Their birthrate is a lot higher too. In 20 to 30 years we will be considered short.
Nah, I feel like the average height for men is lower is because of the influx of male immigrants. Men in general are taller than Woman, especially when comparing height of people from the same region.
As a European woman with a height of 168 cm, I find this discussion about male height so incredibly weird. I honestly never got why some women are so adamant about having a tall(er) boyfriend/husband and categorically reject dating someone who is "too short". You could meet the love of your life and you're saying "no" just because they're too short, something that is out of their control? It's just stupid, sorry to say. I've been into guys of various height all my life. Maybe people should watch "Lovely Complex" more and get over these outdated ideals.
I think Asian women are relatively traditional, they expect their men are manly, tall guy make women feel strong and secure. And they also hope their children won’t be too short
It's rnot that strange for a woman to want a man taller than her. Most men also want a woman shorter than them. My fiance is only 1 in taller than me, because I'm taller than average and he's shorter, but that's enough for most women I think.
@@PsychoticAndChaotic Of course people can have certain wishes or ideals for how their partner should be. But when you make the height the defining trait that is more important than anything else, it is superficial and silly.
I’m so short that I always end up dating taller ppl than myself but yeah I never understood such drastic height bias. But like another comment said yes Japan is more traditional so I’d assume that also affects standards of dating there.
@@Totchi85 the thing is, I don't know anyone who does that. Even with someone who has a height preference, it's never the most important thing
Everyone deserves human rights. Height, weight, has no bearing on if a human being should have their rights taken away or not. The woman that made the statement is the epitome of ignorance .
I don't think she actually meant human rights should be taken away from anyone under 5'7". It seemed obvious (at least to me) that she was just saying that for shock value. I don't actually think she thinks a law should be passed! 😂🤣
The translation may not be very accurate. Don’t judge people so quickly.
@@yaqiwang5242 dude even Japanese themselves are angry at this statement, so I’m pretty sure the translation is close enough.
99% sure it was a joke
@@marihanderkhan5663 Then she should have added "jk" at the end...
I don’t think height could measure people’s value and qualifications. Everyone deserves equal rights in this generation, the generation of new technology.
not according to women
@@woozie77 That's not right. Many women don't have a height issue...there are shallow women who do but there are shallow men too.
I'm personally about 170cm so I'm definitely shorter than average despite barely possessing human rights. I just want to say, though, for all my fellow short guys out there, don't be ashamed of your height! It's the height your parents gave you, after all. Let women date taller guys if they want; they are free to choose their partners based on whatever criteria they prefer. Some women are still ok with dating short guys, so you'll find someone eventually, and even if you don't, it's still OK because you only need love from one person to keep on living: yourself! Cheers!
It’s not that short, 5ft 7 is pretty common even in western countries
I am 174cm, so I just got entry to a life with human rights...

As much as physical attributes of a person is important, in the long term if you want a relationship to last it should be based on trust and feeling comfortable being yourself around your significant other. Focusing on physical attributes is very shallow and short-lived; although initially it is a part of why people go for one another.
Ppl aint blind duh
its about ur future kids as well, you want them to be taller

3:55 "hey you have human rights" lol
What the guy said at 6:33 is true about asian guys living in the west. But i think that's not due to the height. I'm literally 185cm tall which is about 6 feet to 6'1 feet. Whenever I try to buy alchohol or enter a bar, they still check my age. I think this has something to deal with the look rather than the height. Asian guys generally look young for their age.

I don't even have to look at the time frame to know you're talking about the guy beating himself up for having short legs. Yeah, it's sad, but we all know at the same time that in this world, appearance is everything.
It must be especially hard for japanese men since they are connected with the west.
Knowing how much western girls value height, i am pretty sure that japanese girls are more or less the same.
It´s basically like western girls discovering a foreign world where every second girl is a model.

That's average in some countries but tall in others.. 1.7m is average in South Africa for example, the stats say 1.6m in Japan - it seemed more. Be glad you didn't move from South Africa to Australia - switched to being short and broke in 1 day.

I remember matching with people on dating sites and them responding with “no sorry, I don’t date shorties” - I’m 5’6”! She was shorter! Similarly, women do specify on their profiles sometimes “5’8” or taller only” which I find hilarious.
I find it funny when women say "Well yes, i am way shorter than you. But if i wear 4 inch heels then i won't be". Are their heels an extension of their worth as a person or wut?
Can't help it, people always have preferences. The only difference here is that they are being upfront about it. I'm sure you have those about girls too.

Yea some people in the comments say it's only a joke but still, height isn't something you can control since it's mostly defined by ur genetics. It's not like weight, something you can actually control with enough discipline and effort
Yea, it's some saying which I first saw viral from Chinese 'women'. "Men who are shorter than X are not even human". It's pretty bad when you don't see the other gender as humans.

When I went to Japan, I was actually surprised that a lot of Japanese guys were taller than me (173cm).
I’ve been to Japan and honestly did not feel that the men there were particularly short? I mean, there aren’t nearly as many people at the 6ft+ height as in America but they weren’t tiny either.

I loved the history facts that the girl said about why japanese people are short.... i never thought about it, but its pretty obvious that japan would have opt for agriculture...♡
It's not true, all humans were hunter-gatherers at some point and both Europe and East Asia switched to agriculture during the Neolithic. Height is dependent on sexual selection, climate, altitude, diet, and topography.
Japanese was hubting.It people called Jomon people ,they live in Japan 2000years ago.but Yayoi people of Agricluture race come Japan from the continent.they mixed blood and became Japanese of agriculture
The girl at 2:55 is a perfect example of media portrayal influencing your opinion on something. Scientific data shows the average height is 170cm and she thinks it's short. It's literally the average height, also she's in the 150s herself. Weird asf how she thinks someone 16cm taller than her is short.
Average doesn't mean not short (Or tall). It simply just means the average. Average height for Japanese women for ex is 5'2ft. That doesn't mean 5'2 isn't short. However, 5'7 is not short at all and maybe because I'm 5'4 it seems tall to me.
Interesting conversation. I remember seeing a national observational study conducted by Waseda some years back concluding that Japanese men's average height is increasing due to consistently better nutrition. Genetics may play some role but nutrition probably accounts for a greater proportion of the variability in the population.
Japanese birth rate is declining fast though due to insane Japanese working culture "karoshi". I would love to see Asian Boss do a video discussing average age of Japanese getting married and having children in this context.
I think that would be an interesting video and highly suspect this average age would be different for people in Tokyo vs suburbia or the countryside, with the average age of parenthood being lower for the latter.
“Karoshi” means death by overwork so I think it’s a misnomer to say birth rates are declining due to “karoshi.” It’d probably be a bit more accurate to describe the situation as: birth rates are being affected by a multitude of societal factors or issues including (but not exclusively) the work culture.
It has nothing to dye with nutrition Japanese are the riches and healthiest Asians. It’s due to exposure to western or western adjacent diets. Koreans and Chinese are taller due to this.
日本の出生率は1.4全く低くない
Did you live twenty years ago?The Japanese have not grown taller for more than twenty years.
In fact, the Japanese have been around 170 centimeters since the 1980s.The recent news is that the average height of the new generation of Japanese young people has not only not increased but has decreased.
In contrast, the heights of Northern Chinese and Koreans began to approach the level of Europeans.Especially the people from North China.
The economy in North China is worse than that of South Korea and Japan, but they are actually taller than South Koreans.
According to the latest survey and research, the average height of 19-year-old northern Chinese has exceeded 176 centimeters, and can even reach 177 centimeters in Shandong Province and Manchuria.Korean data is 174.9 cm.
As China industrializes, the heights of Chinese are returning to their historical levels.The reason why Japanese are shorter is because of the "island effect". Mammals living on islands are generally shorter. This is because there is very little food on the islands. People with the tall gene will be eliminated by the environment if they do not get enough food.
@@user-hq3ht2hp6xjapanese man average height is 172 cm today !
7:55 I never thought I'd get a history lesson from someone who looks like a final fantasy character 🤣
It's unfair how many people feel it's ok to be so harsh to short men. The level probably depends on the country/culture, but it is unnecessary and hurtful.
I have no data, but from casual observation, I feel that the average height of the male Japanese might be around 5'7'' or 5'8''. My height is 5'4'', and most of them were taller than me, but not runaway taller like the typical White of Black male. Some Japanese men were of course quite tall, about 6'. At the same time, there were a few who were pretty short, almost as short as many Indians (excluding North Indian groups like Punjabis, etc), and probably their contribution pulls the Japanese national average down.
indian average male height is 5 feet 8 inches ..also south indians are also becoming taller also india is super poor and malnourished so cant really be compared with japan.

Same applies to North Korea before the kim family regime starved the unprivileged population. Korean height maps showed that north Koreans were significantly taller in measurement of cms. North Koreans on average honestly would be the height of those in Shandong had they not been restricted of nutrients. The gene for the tall height is there but the nutrition isn’t. The Japanese on the other hand never had said genes and had always been short despite not going through nowhere near as many famines and times of poverty as the Chinese and Koreans. They’ve been economically advanced eating well for so long but nutrition is only going to get you but so far.
@@qad951 Both: genes and food. I was growing up when meat production was restricted in Poland, so I'm 181cm tall: most of my younger cousins are over 190cm. My wife is 168cm tall, my 14 years old daughter is 170cm tall (and it seems she won't grow higher), but my 12 years old son is 180cm: he is a food consumption machine and he is growing, and growing (in last year about 15-20 cm)...
i think its just a regional variety since people didn't move much to other parts of the country for centuries.
I am 187 cm which is 6ft 2 i believe . I am a black . I am telling you in China and all over asia i can feel it when people are intimidated by my physical presence. i can just tell.. its so bizarre how chinese stare really hard for long period of times. I have albinism and i know that that too is unusual. but they would be sitting there counting my eyelashes lol!.
i lived in Hong kong for a bit. most things, doors, beds, bathtubs etc.. were never my height . and when i took the tiny mountain tram to go to the jackie chan museum. it was super uncomfortable . i was sat at the back because i could not find leg room. everything in asia is short and tiny by my standards.
I think nutrition plays the most role, my cousin in Japan is only 17 years old, 193cm tall, dad is only 180cm & mom is 165cm, he's been playing baseball since he was little and eats a lot, like eating 1 kg of chicken/pork and rice every day
Judge people ultimately based on what they have worked for in their lives and what they are willing to contribute to society, not what has been given freely to them by the universe.
I mean, that sounds nice to say, but we all know your outside appearance plays a huge role in how you're treated and that will NEVER change. If you don't believe me, would you date a 400 lb woman that worked hard and contributes to society?
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 This isn't about dating. Dating obviously has a component of sexual attraction.
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 a 400lb woman ? I doubt she contributed much, to get that weight she probably sit on her ass sleeping and eating all day.
@@TUBESTEAKNIG
What do you mean this has nothing to do with dating? Did you not watch the video? They literally asked women what would be the idea height for a man for them. Women responded and said what height they'd like in a man. One woman talked about how she liked wearing heels and therefore wanted a guy tall enough to deal with that. I have to again ask, did you even watch the video?
@@DccAnh
Hahahaha, you're actually proving my point. I made up a fictitious 400 lb woman AND YOU'RE ALREADY JUDGING HOW MUCH SHE CONTRIBUTED TO SOCIETY! 😂🤣😂🤣
I like how the "ideal" of everyone you asked is still minimum the national average. I wonder if in practice they draw a hard line on that number. In some countries I know they do.
Being tall is not always a blessing.
It can be hard to find clothing especially before the internet.
A lot of the cars I like are too small to comfortably drive them.
Many of the petite attractive women avoid the the taller men because of the height difference.
I am 193cm or 5'16" tall and at least 20% of my relatives are taller than I am.
The only thing that can be judged about appearances should be tidiness and presentation, never height, skin colour, face. People were born with those traits, they can’t help it.
We need more people that think like this.
I agree 100%. People seem to be too preoccupied with things they can’t change.
How about we stop saying “they can’t help it” as if we are supposed to pity them for not having the “ideal” height, skin or face. It’s not about “they can’t help it” it’s about accepting people’s differences, period. It’s not something that should be helped, it something that should be accepted, what you don’t find attractive someone else will.
unfortunately.. people seek out certain mates based on genetic traits they would like for their offspring, whether consciously or unconsciously. and genetic traits are more than just clothes, shoes or how you comb your hair.. etc
@@lolita960 cheer up pal
People will all be white in ,2300 and all will be tall then people will start discriminating over facial expressions or something new
I would say men above 170cm have certain human rights specifically the right to be asked to grab that cup/bowl/can from the top shelf of the cupboard, change the light bulb, grab a book from the top shelf and pick oranges from the tree because their mothers/wives/girlfriends are too lazy to get a step stool. I agree that men, or women,who are shorter than that should have none of those rights.
Interesting topic again Asian Boss. Just wish you could have gotten some couples or middle-aged men too. Would have liked to hear their thoughts on height.
Why is this saying popular in Asia? Something similar happened in Korea some years ago.
It is not Japan, but when living in Beijing I was amazed by how tall young Beijingners are, I am 1.76-1.77 and almost everyone around me were about that height or taller. It is not comparable to European and US still, but it was a big surprise. Southern Chinese are smaller though
my fried from Shanghai went to school in Beijing, and he was the second shortest guy at 180 cm
In china if you are shorter than 178 it will get hard. ( unless you have a nice apartment and a decent car, don't even dream of having a gf )
that's why parents in china start to save money for their kids to buy an apartment as soon as mom ( get' pregnant )
@@nucleargandhi87 Northern Han Chinese have barely any nomadic admixture and it doesn't make sense to say nomads made them taller when nomads like Mongols are shorter than them on average. They're just taller because they have more Neolithic Yellow River ancestry.
7:02 He's right, dutch research has stated that our diet, which consists of lots of milk and cheese, and our good health care and evolution play a part in our tallness.
It's mostly about genetics. I had a good diet growing up, and my dad though that would help me grow taller, but I ended up being as short as he was (162 cm).
man do i love the sarcasm in this video :D some of this guys r funny
I am a 176 cm girl and I am going to Japan next year to study. Compared to the heights that appeared on the video I am a giant omg🥲 I am a bit insecure because of this😭
Go to northern China you won’t feel so tall.
170 cm might be accurate. I am 168 cm and japanese women were always much smaller than me. And men were around my height. Only few cm taller or shorter than me.
Am 175cm man from sudan daily I see alot of girls taller than me Or same height in , u considered normal for girls here
@@officer905 yes. In germany i was seen as average women. But turn into dinosaur in asia. Honestly i don't see myself as tall person 😂
Honestly don't get the outrage over what she said. People say a lot worse things then that on her streams making sexual comments about her, so can't fault her for being angry. If someone said this to me I wouldn't be angry, would probably think it was a lame insult. I'm Korean American and heard way worse things, maybe its because Japanese people haven't experienced international racism that they are this upset to get someone fired.
It can affect personally sometimes as I'm 5'3 and I'm 23 so I feel alot insecure
I really like japanese mens but its so diffult to find a japanese men on social media i have been trying to find anyone from japan that would like to commuicate with me
After being with a guy, who was 35 centimetres taller than me I realized that while tall guys may look good in theory, but in practice it's so much nicer to be with someone your own height or a little shorter/taller!
Feeling like a little kid near your partner isn't very sexy for me. I guess some women like to feel small, but it felt rather suffocating to me. Also if you're into being dominant, manhandling much bigger partner is hard😅

Well I'm 5'2 so I don't have human rights just like most of my kababayan. Moving to the US soon so I'm pretty scared that I'm gonna be discriminated just because of my height and my nationality.
Red meat especially beef, then milk products and eggs. These thing can make you taller. Fish and rice doesn’t work in here. Sad thing is many Asians can’t drink too much milk.
every human deserve human rights.. till they start infringing on other peoples rights.
I’m 176-177cm Japanese male. When I was in Japan, I didn’t feel like I stuck out though in terms of height. There’s actually a lot of Japanese who are taller, depending on where you go in Japan.
170 cm is average, so 50% of the people would have been in your category, so you probably didn't notice.
go cope in copenhagen
Agreed. I think it’s mostly the older generation that’s around 172 cm. I say that because majority of the younger generation of Japanese I’ve seen were either around my height (173cm) or taller.
I’ve even seen a few that were around 183cm - 189 believe it or not.
I think this is probably due to Japan importing more dairy products. S. Koreans are also getting taller as well. I had female Korean friend who was 176cm. 🙂
君は本当に高いです。I am a Singaporean Chinese.I'm only 1.74 meters. China is very large, and the northern part of China is very high like Shandong and Liaoning, but some southern provinces like Guangxi and Guangdong are shorter than Japan.
My cousin-in-law is Japanese American and he’s at least 6’1”. Other members of his family are also above average height. For a person of Japanese descent to be tall is really not unheard of.
The man from 4:55 is actually Japanese comedian.
I'm so surprised that he got this interview as ordinary man.
Lol I thought I was kinda familiar with his face but I didn’t realize until you pointed that out

I like how they do the camera angles where the people look like they are just the same height even though there’s a noticeable difference when they said their own height..
As a guy who's 6'8", I always felt like I was too tall, and wanted to be shorter. Now that I'm in my 40s, I don't care much, but I sure did when I was in high school.

There is nothing wrong with being short. Westernization and hollywood is the reason why girls like tall men. Stop westernization and follow your own culture
In the past men fought wars, so being short is considered weak/incapable. It's a representation that has carried over thousands of years haha but being tall is something that's not been a part of Asian culture/standards I feel. I feel Western culture has influenced the idea to be taller. Asia is becoming Westernised.
My background is Chinese, when I was growing up we moved to New Zealand, my Mum would always say to me she wants me to be 180cm at least. I ended up being 178cm, and my younger brother is 184cm.
Actually some of the best soldiers have been short. Simo Hayha, the worlds best sniper for example was 5'3. Audie Murphy was America's best soldier in WW2 at 5'5.
@@user-pn3im5sm7k Yeah height doesn't matter these days because all you need to do is pull a trigger, thousands of years back you had to fight with shield and sword so I'd say height and physical strength would matter more in older times
@@Mike-bt3ki Very true. especially for arm reach, I could see an advantage with a sword or spear. However even 500 years ago they were using firearms, bow and arrow mostly. So this has been the norm for a very long time. You would indeed need to go thousands of years back.
@@Mike-bt3ki agility can overpower strenght in some cases. Both heights have ups and downs. If being short was such a horrible thing we would only have tall people now due to short people failing to find mates and not having offsprings.
I think diet, advanced health care, and food additives are the main reason East Asians (not just Japanese) are getting taller. Look at Koreans for example. If you look at the height difference between the elderly in Korea and the younger generation, the height difference is substantial. And Korean men are considered to be the one of the tallest Asian groups now.
But Korea used to be one of the poorest countries before the Korean War. Diet, poverty, and lack of health care mattered. And after the war all of those were addressed. Korea became one of the fastest developing countries in the world.
The only big difference I see between Korea and Japan, on this topic, is the acceptance of western food (which tend to contain lots of additives). Koreans by far eat more western food than the Japanese, imo. I say this bc I live in Korea and often went to Japan before Covid.
in my country I'm considered tall for girls .. I'm about 167cm .. and all of my girl friends shorter than me ...they have a lot of easy things for them,and even clothes I need to customize them so it can fit my height and weight .. the skirt too short for me, the pants too short and wide for me ..and short girls have special place in men's heart .. because they always look for girl under 160cm .. and men in my country average is about 165 to 170cm .. it almost same as me that's why they didn't consider me "woman" .. they didn't give any attention to talk girl like me . they don't thing I'm fragile like the short girls.. and that's hurt me a lot.. . my gir friends are kind, they're cute i admit it .. but i can't stand the men's treat towards me .. it's not fair
Hope things get better for you, dear.

@🇮🇳Poo in the Loo study says 80 to 90 percent have stunted growth due to lack of good nutrition, if you study in good private school or college you will find that people are generally much taller than in govt ones,
Honestly, I would say it's lack of nutrition, otherwise indians especially north indians can be very tall.
btw 8:07 im curious about why they think that they are agricultural ethnic group and others is not🤷🏻♂️Are they the only agricultural people in the world?and Agriculture was introduced from mainland China and the Korean Peninsula to Japan
This one confused me too. I know next to nothing about Japanese history, but I’m sure every facet of human beings started out as hunting for their food. It wasn’t later until civilizations flourished when humans started figuring out how to grow our own food.
From what I understand, certain groups of people that tend to be short has to do with food scarcity over a significant amount of time.
@@osamabindiesel3389 yeah funny logic from her
Not 'they'. That particular woman has a very wrong notion of evolution. All cave men started out as hunters, then later started cultivating. Human settlements were near water bodies, so most ancient civilisations will have river near them.
She could be referring to the fact that Westerners have cold climate and not fertile land, hence they are hunters? But its obviously wrong. Hunters and cultivators co existed mostly. It is their ethnicity that determines height. Certain ethnic groups are characterised by average shorter height, doesn't mean they weren't hunters. I don't remember studying mongoloids race having smaller height tho. They probably evolved that way in certain regions.
She only said Westerners were hunter-gathers and that Japanese people were not. When did she say Japanese were the only agricultural people? So in your mind, if someone says Japanese people like baseball but doesn't mention any other groups that also like baseball, that automatically means that that person is saying Japanese people are the only group that likes baseball? What a weird way of thinking.

I actually just recently learned that japanese men tend to be shorter than their counterparts in East Asia. Quite surprised also. And japanese women also shorter than other east Asians. Chinese and Korean women tend to be taller. I know that in both countries, it's heavily influenced by nutrition intakes. But japanese foods tend to be very healthy too, in fact, much healthier than Chinese and Korean foods, so I wonder why
The Japanese are genetically short, and the Japanese diet isn't healthy. They eat way too much white rice and not many fresh vegetables.
I'm 5'5ft which is around 166-167cm, as an Indian it's considered as short height in northern part of the country but tbh i never faced any harsh jokes about my height yet. it's pretty normal here, i know many people judge others by physical appearances but imo you need to be relax and stay calm in such kinda things
i think its all about proportions in general at least this is how i see it. my mind doesn't even process someone is shorter than me because of it. people are so shallow, when they favor height over actual good health .
Indians in general are very diverse so its a vast array of types . i lived there for a long time as my dad's job posted us to Mumbai and then we lived in Kerala . i moved to Goa by myself when i was 18. people look different everywhere in India. I really miss Kerala the most .

Reading through the comments makes me wonder why men tend to be taller than women around the globe. Although, I'm 6'2 (187 cm) and am from the US but am the tallest in my whole family except for my father...genetics are certainly fascinating.
Did you know that kids tend to take the height of their opposite-gender parent? So it's not surprising that the one person taller than you is your dad, you took his height genes. My family's tallest members are myself and my uncle at around 182 cm, so you are taller than all of us
Not all sweetness and light for tall people. Airline seats, sports cars, amusement park rides, that sort of thing. But we're easy to spot in a crowd.

Saying Japanese people were always short in the past is false. Actually Samurai were quite tall and this mainly because of their diet. No one likes to talk about this, especially the Japanese Government but the standard of food and how much milk/vegetables children in Japan eat now is lower than the past. Their diet is not as great as it used to be - lots of sugar in everything and bread is becoming more and more common for breakfast (asa gohan). You can look up the soldiers, warriors, samurai of Japan and compare their heights to the Japanese now and see a huge difference. Back then they trained, ate well and really built-up their bodies - it wasn't just the armour and facial hair that made them a scary force.
you know how the British Hong Kong troops fell to the Japanese? the British commander told his subordinate that he is an "idiot" for reporting a Japanese attack in the middle of the night because he sincerely believed the Japanese couldn't see in the dark due to their slanted eyes. he obviously died.
even when Churchill sent his best "unsinkable" ships to Java he probably didn't think much of the Japanese. wrong!
Nope ! Japanese were short back then ! The male height in that era was 5'3 feet !
The average japanese in the samurai era was 5'3 feet

Social selection. Creepy if you think about it
Among various physical traits, height is the one that is strongly determined by genetics. It’s a textbook example. Of course non-biological factor do play a role, such as nutrition. However, genetics constitute the largest share of the difference in height between unrelated individuals
Sexual selection is a significant factor as well. A survey of Dutch women found a strong preference for tall men. This led researchers to theorize that over time the Dutch female preference for tall men resulted in offsprings with the “tall” gene
@@JH-vs5wr It's the opposite for Dutch men. Apparently they have no problem copulating with Indonesian women.

And he is right with the short legs issues. I am 162 cm short and husband is 183 cm tall and when we are going for a walk I am always kind of running besides him.
