Here are some more information for Blue Japanese:
Of the 46 syllables in the Japanese syllabary, there are three that are mispronounced frequently by native English speakers. The focus of this mini lesson is on one of the more difficult syllables to pronounce in the Japanese Language, namely the tsu syllable. The way you go about conquering the pronunciation of words that contain tsu or begin or end with the syllable tsu requires a little cleverness, patience and of course consistent practice. The pronunciation is not that difficult but can be comprehended by using two English words to pluck out, if you will the pronunciation. Two English words that are elided together, like in the following phrase eight suits gives a close approximation of the sound of tsu in Japanese say the following out loud
eight suits, eight suits, eight suits, eight suits, eight suits, eight suits
Now say loud a couple more times and concentrate on the elision that occurs between the words eight and suits. Say it faster and faster until you can feel the tsu come out of eigh -tsu- its The correct or nearest equivalent that native English speakers of Japanese can get to saying the tsu syllable is taking the t from the eight and adding the su in the previous example. Practice with your newly acquired, authentic sounding, near native pronunciation, the following words containing tsu
Tsuitachi - 20th of the month
Tsuyuu - the rainy season
Itsu? - when?
Hachimitsu -honey
Itsutsu - 5 counter
Itsumo - always
Motsuaruto -mozart
Etc.

A Closer Look: Sw768Bl Blue Dragon Katana Sword Review
Have you ever wondered why the Japanese samurai is a one of a kind warrior and his weapon has become a good collector's item? Since the ancient time, it is not uncommon to witness some of the finest hand crafted samurai swords, which are pounded and hammered by trained artisans. The weapon that brings respect and integrity is considered as a priceless treasure for most samurai.
A decorative sword like the SW768BL Blue Dragon Katana Sword is a katana with an unsharpened edge. Its edge can be sharper than a razor, however this blade was not processed using the conventional procedure of forging a katana, and therefore it is a decorative sword only. However, it features an authentic blue handle wrap with faux ray skin and oxidized copper furniture. The blade is 27 inches long and an overall weight of 2.1 pounds, yet it is another one of the finest collection for a reasonable price.
What's the difference between a functional sword from a decorative katana? An authentic sword undergoes the traditional Japanese katana making process. Originally, the blade should be made from two distinctive metals, which adds strength and performance. Usually 1050 and 1095 high carbon steel is being forged together for several times and this process is repeated until a minimum number of folds has attained. This procedure will produce an excellent edge which is flexible and resilient enough to shearing.
Clearly, most decorative swords are not folded this way. This thing couldn't even cut through ice on a warm day. Some of these items are made sharp but they are typically made from stainless steel or aluminum. They are dubbed as "wall hangers" and are good looking replica's of some 16th century samurai katana.
On a real katana, you can see the visible undulating textures on the blade. This is noticeable since the blade is folded several times during forging. After the pounding process, the blade is hand polished to several stone grades to eliminate the existing metals and cause a smooth shiny surface. The blades are then clay hardened and edged at least 12 times. Furthermore, some craftsmen had chiseled some patterns and information on the blade making it more exotic.
While a decorative sword like the SW768BL Blue Dragon Katana can be made sharp and looks deceiving as it could appear to cut your enemies on a battleground, trust me, the blade can be easily broken after two strikes.
Why you need to have a piece of it?
The guard (Tsuba) is constructed from oxidized copper and is inscribed with dragon patterns. The tsuba commences with a copper blade collar and ends with a copper fitting which intensifies the dragons in the relief. The handle is bundled and covered with faux ray skin, which is then wrapped with a blue silk wrap. This sword is not a real fighting sword; however it is secured with two pegs.
The scabbard is basically made of wood. Some of the existing Blue Dragon Katana today is wrapped with ray or shark skin and is lacquered in black with glossy finished. The SW768BL Blue Dragon Katana Sword is unique among the rest, with its black scabbard and with an engraved blue dragon sketch, you cannot find something similar like this.
Like the bokken, this is also not a real fighting sword and it is prone to oxidation. So, if you're planning to own something like this, it will be helpful to know how to care and clean this equipment.

If a Caucasian parent with blonde hair and blue eyes and Japanese parent had a child, what's the chance...
That the child would inherit either the blue eyes or the blonde hair? I should think very unlikely, but I'm not sure.
Any (helpful) answer will do, but one that included percentages would be most welcome of all.
Thank you very much!
Remember that each allele is classified as either dominant or recessive. Blue eyes is recessive u, and Brown eyes dominant U. Blond hair recessive b, and brown hair dominant B (in actuality it's more hybridized, but for academics let's just deal in certainties).
In order for blond hair and blue eyes to exist the person must exhibit alleles uubb. Japan and most of Asia has Brown hair brown eyes which is vastly dominant. We can pretty much assume the allele pattern UUBB for the Japanese parent.
So put it on a matrix and factor them all out:
Parents: uubb and UUBB
This would give children UuBb. All of them the same.
Because Brown hair and Brown eyes is dominant, all children will have Brown hair brown eyes. 0% chance of blond hair blue eyes. Unless the Japanese parent is in the extreme minority of Asians that carry the blond hair blue eyed gene. They will have hybrid genes though and if one of them mates with a UuBb or uubb, chances for blonde hair blue eyes can exist.
