Recalling that the Royal Family and the Daimyo families conquered all of Japan in three stages, it's not accurate to refer to any of the classes or castes as "pure blood", or even particularly "Japanese" for the whole course of their existence in Japan.

The three stages were: (1) Royal Family and Daimyo families arrive from Asia via Korea. They'd conquered Korea quickly, and then conquered the Ya-Yoi region of Japan just as fast. That's where the Chinese rice culture was located. They were illiterate and divided into a number of "silk kingdoms" although there were "other silk kingdoms" ruled by different ethnic groups at different periods of time. Part of the conquest appears to have involved absorbing the old nobles into the new nobles. This is shown in many of the Family Mon arising at that time.

(2) After conquering the Chinese part of the country they moved on to the North and Central areas and began chopping away at the Emeshi ~ who were technologically their equal. This took HUNDREDS OF YEARS. Again, the local nobility were absorbed into the Daimyo.

(3) Once they had EVERYBODY IN HAND in the South, The West, and the North, the Royal families and Daimyo began the final advance on the remaining independent Emeshi. This time there was no hand of friendship. Rather, they were absorbed whole into the Japanese body politic as the people we know as THE SAMURAI. The Shogun who put that deal together then used them to begin the final conquest of the entirity of Japan by a single authority that culminated in the Tokugawa Shogunate a few hundred years later.

Among other things he did with his new Samurai forces was to place them in Fukuoka where they could be quickly dispatched to the highly populated regions to the North and South.

BTW, if you take any of the more popular Japanese historic "time lines" you'll find they differ among themselves on important events earlier than Tokugawa. They also differ from my timeline since they are "political" ~ and make every effort to avoid having the Emperor's family come from Korea ~ even if only as conquerors just passing through.

You can't imagine how important this has been. It even screws up their understanding of the Ise Temple, the place of Shinto (from Siberia, not Japan), and the arrival of Buddhism (on horseback installed by the sword by the conquerors of the mid 500s).

If you think the Chinese were upset by finding tartan wearing redheads in Chinese graves, the Japanese were exceedingly upset about the study on molar types!

Sinodonty and Sundadonty

Sinodonty and Sundadonty are two patterns, identified by anthropologist Christy Turner, for East Asia, within the "Mongoloid dental complex"[1]. The latter is regarded as having a more generalised, Australoid morphology and having a longer ancestry than its offspring, Sinodonty.

Sino and Sunda refer to China and Sundaland, while 'dont' refers to teeth.

He found the Sundadont pattern in the Jōmon of Japan, Taiwanese aborigines, Filipinos, Indonesians, Thais, Borneans, Laotians, and Malaysians, and the Sinodont pattern in the inhabitants of China, Mongolia, eastern Siberia, Native Americans, and the Yayoi.

(African and European teeth are defined as undifferentated(sp?))

Turner also upset the Native Americans when he found human protein in an Anazasi coprolite proving that they cannibalized.

I’ll say! There is huge animosity toward Koreans. I never understood why.

“Among other things he did with his new Samurai forces was to place them in Fukuoka where they could be quickly dispatched to the highly populated regions to the North and South.”

Another explanation. Thank you muawiyah. Are you a professor of Asian studies or something like that?
