As I'm sure you are aware but maybe not some of our fellow FReepers, Henn-na in Japanese means strange, different, or weird. A Japanese person who has lived overseas and come back with some odd tastes and habits is a Henna-na Nihon-jin. I've always taken a little pride in being thought a Henn-na Gaikoku-jin, i.e. someone who knows a bit too much about the Japanese for their comfort.

Former Japanese PM Koizumi used to be called “Henjin.”
