Lmao did he even put any thought into this lie? Bruh why would a Japanese university offer this area of studies under Asian Studies instead of the much more obvious umbrella of Japanese History?
Yeah man, I have a Masters in Western Studies from the University of Oxford with a specialization in English history.
Get the fuck outa here with that bullshit.
Edit: Japanese people are calling out his obviously machine translated Japanese.
It's not like Tokyo University is one of Japan's most prestigious universities which has a lot of international students and an English website in which you can see all the programs they offer, and see that Japanese studies and Asian studies are separate programs, and that Japanese History part of Japanese Studies, not Asian Studies.
A friend of mine got a degree in Asian Studies with a focus on Japan. When she actually went there and talked to random Japanese people about how she did Asian studies the Japanese people would often ask her "Oh, so you really like Thailand or something?"
Kenji Yamamoto with the handle "Samurai_KenjiYa" might as well be John Doe "Cowboy_JohnD".
