Outside the Fifa games. Japan doesn't give a bleep about him.

This dude is mixed. Likely has a Japanese father or mother.

Japanese mother, Ghanaian father.

Uses his mother's surname both professionally and personally.

(Not the first footballer to do that, Ryan Giggs uses his mother's surname, not his father's surname of Wilson).

He plays with PARMA CALCIO.

Asians dont have strong genes to create a biracial ... Tiger Woods is another example...his mom is Asian, his dad is African American
Actually, his dad is half white, quarter black, and quarter native American.

Even, his mum is half Thai, half Chinese.

He could pass as black or Thai.

Keanu Reeves is half white, quarter Chinese, and quarter native Hawaiian.

He does not look blasian one bit, he looks 100% African. His mum's genes didn't even try
As in... Not a single genetic impact.

His father's genes are not just dominant but oppressive. grin

Depends...players of black descent have represented Japan before in the past. eg Alessandro Santos at the 2006 world cup.

Also at junior level, black players have represented Japan. The Japan U23 team to the last olympics had two black players.,,Joel Chima Fujita(Also the captain of the team) and Leo Kokubo who are both half-Nigerians.

Suzuki first played for Japan at U17 world cup in 2019. (Been following him since then).
Thanks for the education, nobody is an island of knowledge.

Only skin color can't make you look like black or African man.


The Japanese gene is still present.

Observe his facial features and structure, that's Asian look.

Ha, I now understand why Tiger refused to call himself an african american.

That's from your perspective. His facial look is Japanese to me. Look again
Re: Zion Suzuki: The Black Goalkeeper Representing Japan by chaerman: 9:42pm On Jun 15
His surname says it all "suzuki" the name demands legendary respect

David Alaba comes to mind.

Due to the one drop rule in many parts of the world, if you have a drop of black blood, you are considered black and treated as such. If you are "white passing" such as Wentworth Miller in "Prison Break" you'll be treated as white unless you expose yourself.
There's also no black blood smiley
Re: Zion Suzuki: The Black Goalkeeper Representing Japan by belikewater: 9:52pm On Jun 15
African features are strong as F mehn. When we mix with any other gene ours just dominates.
Re: Zion Suzuki: The Black Goalkeeper Representing Japan by Kaybanty4u(m): 9:57pm On Jun 15
All I'm seeing is partey +gyan....nothing like Japanese...or better reframe it a Ghanaian japa to Japan

No, you're wrong. The mother's gene is dominant here, just the skin is where the father's gene played some role.

Take a look at his face, his eye lid, mouth, etc.

Proud of him African/Asiatic combo.
Re: Zion Suzuki: The Black Goalkeeper Representing Japan by Clemss88(m): 10:01pm On Jun 15
Only what he carried is Japanese eyes
Re: Zion Suzuki: The Black Goalkeeper Representing Japan by LordLicifer(m): 10:06pm On Jun 15
This creature is not a black man... You could say he is mixed raced with Japanese but definitely not black man! I am a black man! And i don't look like that him.

NO, it's his mother's name

As the article says, he used his mother's name for citizenship registration purposes...as it goes easier when you got a japanese sounding name.

Naomi Osaka , the tennis player, did something similar.
I'm not against him at all and he dud well and I'm proud of him. Better to support Japan and all countries in this world than supporting South Africa.

Thank God he didn't play for South Africa cus they will say he is doing their work.

Good for him. But the problem here, he dare not make obvious mistake that would caused them next stage. If that happens, Japanese might not take it likely with him.
I dont think they are like that. They are not that irrational

Underdogs are not performing too badly in this tournament
Yeah, see Cape Verde, see Egypt performing far above expectations today against the star studded teams of Spain and Belgium. The pundits were surprised with their draw matches.
Re: Zion Suzuki: The Black Goalkeeper Representing Japan by 1MILLIONLiGHTS(m): 10:20pm On Jun 15
I expected to see someone looking like Jhene Aiko. This guy is 95% black nah!

Naomi Osaka has Haitian and Japanese heritage

She is Japanese

These are the popular people you know. The ones that are not popular aplenty

This person is not a black man. And people like him are racist.
Re: Zion Suzuki: The Black Goalkeeper Representing Japan by zoedew: 10:27pm On Jun 15
You won't find such in The South-African Banana-Banana Football Team! The pathetic xenophobes march and march against him for taking their goalkeeping job. The goalkeeping job they kept the other day ended in a shameful defeat with their rough and tactless play! Washwash!!!
