So they don't look typically/fully Japanese to you then?

Nah, not really. They look like Hapas to me. Full Japanese tend to have different jaws and wider/flatter noses. First guy's eye shape is a bit atypical as well.

Quick google search shows they're both half Japanese, half European.

"Australia's just like New Zealand in being built of all these different ethnicities and races living together, but the media doesn't portray it equally or fairly as it is in real life," says Kano, 29, adding both he and Honda have Japanese fathers and European mothers.

How much do you think the European shows in them though? I don't see it much.

Never mind then. But I maintain these 2 Japanese actors are passable as Central Asians (Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Uzbek).

They can also be passable as Turkmens with ease. I've a lot of Turkmens that look even more Mongoloid than other Central Asian Turks, in fact sometimes they look so Mongoloid looking that you wouldn't even think they are mixed.

Like the Turkmen on the right just look straight up East Asian. These two halfbreed Japanese could blend in without a problem.

Wow I didn't know Turkmens can be as Mongoloid looking as that guy on the right. Yeah I guess these 'Japanese-Australian' actors can pass there too. Maybe as Hazara too.
