It makes sense, many Idians have the high cheekbones and a more caucasian than asian look to them. I have noticed some caucasian features in many Japanese. Something you wont find in Koreans or Chinese for instance.

The Japanese have an ancestry that appears to be aboaut 60% identical to the Chinese, and 40% identical to the ancient Jomon, who are also the same as the modern Ainu.

Kennewick Man also appears to have been Jomon.

I don't think there's any doubt that Japanese people have been coming to America for many centuries. It's just that none of them ever traveled back to Japan to tell anyone. Some problem with Pacific currents, the distance, etc.
