Although it is pretty rare, a small number of Japanese people have blue eyes. The truth is, blue eyes are not predominant to Japanese people. Researchers, however, discovered a small blue-eyed community living on an Island in Northern Japan.
Blue eyes result from certain genetic combinations that are rare for people with Japanese ancestry. There is less than a one percent chance for a full-blooded Japanese person to be born with blue eyes, meaning it can happen but almost never does.
There are plenty of blue-eyed Asians. This probably happens when the traditional blue-eyed allele comes into a family from a (possibly very distant) European ancestor. Blue eyes then resurface in a child generations later if they inherit the allele from both parents.
About 1% of Japanese people are born with bronze. Most Japanese have dark brown eyes. Very rarely, some people have very light brown or rare blue, green or grey eyes. They are especially common in Kyushu and the Tohoku region.

Pure Ainus are believed to have brown hair and blue eyes. However, through fingerprinting, DNA testing and dental morphology, it was established that the Ainu came from the Mongoloid race. Due to intermarriage, it is difficult to distinguish a person of Ainu ancestry from a person of another Japanese ancestry.
When broken down by gender, men ranked gray, blue, and green eyes as the most attractive, while women said they were most attracted to green, hazel, and gray eyes. Despite brown eyes ranking at the bottom of our perceived attraction scale, approximately 79% of the world's population sports melanin-rich brown eyes.
Scientists believe that it is possible to trace all blue-eyed people back to a common ancestor, who likely had a genetic mutation that reduced the amount of melanin in the iris. Most people with blue eyes are of European descent.
Many Asians have naturally straight hair, but there is a significant group of us who do have naturally curly or wavy hair! However, because it's the norm to see straight and sleek hair, curly haired boys and girls tend to think that their hair is some kind of unruly straight hair that isn't behaving.

First of all, it's definitely not true that all babies are born with blue eyes. Babies of African American, Hispanic and Asian descent are usually always born with dark eyes that stay that way. This is because these non-white ethnicities naturally have more pigment in their skin, hair, and eyes.
Yes, Japanese people can have blonde hair. However, because the gene that produces blonde hair is rare in East Asia, it is not that common to see.
The major difference between Chinese vs. Japanese eyes lie in their shape. Where Japanese have round or oval eyes, Chinese feature angular eyes. Another notable difference can be seen in the slant of these two sets of eyes. Chinese eyes slant downwards while Japanese eyes slant upwards.
Approximately 8% to 10% of the global population have blue eyes. A 2002 study found that the prevalence of blue eye color among the white population in the United States to be 33.8% for those born from 1936 through 1951, compared with 57.4% for those born from 1899 through 1905.
Black hair and blue eyes is a much more rare combination than is blonde hair and blue eyes. The reason why these two traits are linked is that the genes responsible for hair and eye color happen to be close together on the same chromosomes.
Babies whose heritage is dark-skinned are usually born with brown eyes, whereas Caucasian newborns tend to be born with blue or gray eyes. Since melanocytes respond to light, at birth a baby may have eyes that appear gray or blue mostly due to the lack of pigment and because he's been in a dark womb up until now.
