Research Identifies Gaijin Gene

Researchers at Tokyo's Eugenics Foundation have made a historic breakthrough by finally isolating the gene responsible for gaijin. The ground-breaking findings seem to indicate that gaijin are more closely related to Japanese people than had previously been thought.


'We were taken aback at just how much genetic material gaijin share with we Japanese,' said Foundation chairman Jinshu Sabetsu. 'Not only that, but inserting the gaijin gene into the DNA of a racially pure Japanese mouse produced no discernible change in behaviour. The untrained observer might believe them not to be a separate species at all.'


Future research at the Foundation is likely to focus on finding a practical application for the knowledge. 'Important though it is, identifying the gaijin gene is only a first step,' said Sabetsu. 'We're still a very long way from finding an effective treatment.'
