Hey guys on Ask Japanese it's Cathy Cat.
This day we are going to talk about 10 types of japanese boys
you might encounter when you come to japan so let's go.
SOUSYOKU DANSHI
SOU = grass, SYOKU = means eat the grass eater boys.
Now to every alpha male there is a B-male,
to every aggressive active person there is a passive person
and that's the type of boy we're talking about.
Japan has a big rise of the shokudanshi right now, we actually
mentioned it we have done street interviews about it, it's not just a
rumor, it's true.
There are quite a lot of
passive Japanese boys, meaning they are not going out of their way to
approach a girl. They might not even want to approach a girl
they're pretty fine by themselves. They don't really care.
If they are in a relationship they're not the type who will make the first move
and they're maybe not even the type will want to do the naughty.
So it seems to be a thing that is on the rise right now in Japan.
One of the explanations i've heard is that they are actually
very considerate they think quite a lot and they don't want to
annoy bother girls, so they're just being passive and just doing their own thing.
However i also heard that a couple of
those "if you try it right" they can get motivated to be a bit more active
so this the soushokudanshi, if you're curious about those ones
There is a video, let's pop that in the in the links down below
and let's head on to the next one
Meat eater boys.
nico means meat shoku eat so they're the meat eaters.
The "Nikushokudanshi" are the aggressive ones they're the alpha males they're the
ones who want stuff and they go out to get it
Meaning they're really like girls they also have a little bit of a
reputation of being kind of greedy they're the type that you'll definitely
see at the beach flaunting their style trying to get some girls to come along with them
they're the ones who will actively approach a girl they will chat girls up
so they're the opposite off the show "soukudanshi".
These ones also have a little bit of the reputation of being cheaters so if you're going out
with one of them, it's pretty hard to keep them in their cage
because the meat eaters they're hungry
INU-KEI DANSHI
"Inu" means dog, "kei" means type so the dog type boys
Now the "dog type boy", yes i'm not making this up this is a thing
you can find this online
are said to be the loyal ones they're the ones who are very very talkative
but also very loyal so they stick with one person
they are not the type to cheat and they generally like to spend their free time
together with their significant other.
There is also a thing of saying that they're very much the outdoor type person
meaning they want to do things outside they enjoy nature and similar things like that
in "dog type boys". I know i know
i swear i'm not making this up
because the next one is
Neko Kei Danshi: neko meanings cat type boys. "The cat type boys"
Now those are the ones who are a bit mysterious, it's a little bit hard to
talk to with them at first. They seem to be kind of distant they're
kind of doing their own thing. But suddenly they will come close and
maybe make a move they also seem to be the tsundere type
meaning they're kind of cool but when you actually scratch a little
bit behind the surface they're actually kind of nice.
They sometimes don't know how to deal with their emotions
also they're said to be the ones who prefer to do their things
in their own kind of ways, at their own kind of speed
and they're more the type to maybe hang around inside.
What do you think about that? Guess what there's more
Usagi-kei Danshi. Usagi means rabbit so the "rabbit type boys" now the rabbit type boy seems to be
the type that is a little bit more androgynous you might
have seen it more in anime. Yes that's usually honey senpai
and similar they're kind of cute and androgynous and
rather them then taking care of the girl, they're the type
who wants to be taken care of "look after me i'm a cute bunny"
it's sometimes hard to see what they're thinking and
sometimes they can actually do things that you really don't expect them to do.
They also seem to be the type that likes the older ladies
Well i might go with the whole "take care of me" kind of theme.
Now that's one thing to think about. Are there "usagi type" boys in your country?
They're also the type who gets lonely easy so they hope that someone
will come and take care of them because they're lonely.
"Take care of me i'm cute and fluffy"
Hey Hey hyena-Kei Danshi. The Hyena type boys.
Now what a hyena type boy is... imagine a drinking situation
it's a group of boys and a group of girls and
you know as a kind of dating kind of thing who's gonna end up you know
maybe seeing each other... he knows or the hyena boy knows
he's not looks wise top number one or two. T hey may be starting around
three, four, looks wise so they know that they won't get the prettiest
girl at the table because she's probably gonna go with the prettiest boy
at that party... however they know their chances meaning...
they're quite calculating and they're like okay well "i'm not gonna get number one and two...
"this is what this is with the lion eat... i'll wait for the leftovers" apparently!
Excuse me!??!
Anyways that's apparently a trade of the hyena boys.
They know they're not the most attractive so they're not gonna aim for the most
attractive person but they kind of measure out their
chances they're kind of calculating and they know kind of where they stand
in that matter and how they who they can approach in that
kind of social environment. This links back to "GOUKON" (blind dates) which is a
thing where usually for example five boys meet five girls so
it's an equal amount of girls and boys on the table
and it's there kind of as a arranged date, you check out who
you're gonna go and end up with.. . so that's the situation where the hyena
boys know they can't eat what the lions eat but they know
what they might be able to get or where their chances lie
Unicorn Kei Danshi. The unicorn type boys.
Guess what, these kind of boys they're
the best in sports they're the most studious in class
the most popular
and they also come from a high class
background meaning they're kind of rich and we also haven't found a girlfriend
yet because they haven't just been interested in this kind of stuff yet ...
Do you get why they're called unicorn boys??? Because
they kind of don't exist!!! Those kind of perfect boys called the
"unicorn boys" you generally just find an anime and
manga, aimed at girls unfortunately doesn't seem to be real...
That's why they're the unicorns so rare so beautiful and yet so non-existent
O nly in our dreams or if we believe hard enough
Kaseki-kei Danshi.
Fossil type boys... those type of boys are so old school
that it's almost painful. T hose ones are sticking to the very very
old traditions of japan and kind of want them to happen in real life.
Think of the mighty samurai who were walking before the woman where the man
stands over the woman... "he shall walk in front of her and lead"
those kind of things they kind of still really want that to happen right now in
you know the 2000s
They're also super conservative and
bossy so not really the kind of person that would be popular
that's why they're probably dying out by now
Y et they still expect girls to do absolutely everything for them
hold them up high and see them as a superior being to them
Great... guys... i don't think that's gonna fly so well in this year
Otaku-kei Danshi.
So the otaku boys, the geeky boys! Now they know a lot they have a lot of
knowledge of their favorite anime, manga, idols
music and similar but most of the trivia is maybe not
really that that big... so it's more of a trivia
that depends to them so they love talking about that though.
They're generally actually my favorite however they're also saying that they're
the ones who don't cheat as much but if it goes into
the extreme... they're said to be the ones who have
very high standards especially if they're into idols.
They want the girls to be absolutely perfect and sometimes
so perfect that no girl can even match that.... and number two
if it goes into the extreme they might have some weird fetishes or things
that they really want to happen... so that's a that's a negative part of it
but apart from that... otaku boys boys are pretty cool
and loyal
Gyouza Kei Danshi
The dumpling type boys meaning with a dumpling
same thing: from the outside you can't quite tell
what's on the inside. So in a way they're mysterious but also a little bit closed off
it's hard to find out what they're
actually thinking and they won't really let you know what
they are thinking... they're also said to be the ones who are
not quite honest. They hide quite a lot of things about themselves
and even though they're mysterious...
they're kind of really hard to get along
with because they don't really open up...
so that's why they're closed like a
little dumpling that you put in soup
