A lot of girls are bowlegged here.

Back in my report Japanese Oh Legs, I covered the odd predilection of Japanese women to walk and stand pigeon-toed/bowlegged.
The Bottom Line from Japanese orthopedic surgeons was that Japanese women think it looks cute and Japanese are more likely to have curved tibia (lower leg bone) than Caucasians.

SO, WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?
O-kyaku (walking pigeon-toed)
JapanTimes.co.jp – Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2006….according to Dr. Makoto Kamegaya, head of orthopedics at Chiba Children’s Hospital. “Sitting with the legs tucked under or to the side doesn’t cause bowlegs,” he assured me, “and neither does pechanko-zuwari, although that position is linked to uchimata hoko (walking pigeon-toed with the feet turned in.)” Bowlegs can’t be blamed on how you sit, he asserted, and except for very rare cases, nutrition isn’t a factor either. So what gives?
“What looks to foreigners like a high incidence of bowleggedness among Japanese is really just a racial tendency to lower legs that curve outward, perhaps combined with a cultural preference for a slightly pigeon-toed stance,” Kamegaya told me, explaining that it’s easier to walk when wearing kimono if you turn the toes slightly inward. “That also produces what has long been considered a graceful, attractive gait. Few women wear kimono anymore, but the preference remains.”
All humans are born bow-legged, but in most cases the legs straighten out naturally between ages 2 and 4. “Japanese are more likely to have curved tibia than Caucasians, and a certain degree of curvature is considered normal in both children and adults,” according to Kamegaya.

The obsession with cuteness/kawaii must be a drain on the overall productivity in the economy like drug use in the West.

What is it with the obsession with ‘kawaii’ here?
