Yeah, with him being blonde Nordic European, you can see why the Japanese family was quietly suspicious

I don't want to start any trouble, but has anyone else noticed that Ichiro looks like that guy in The Northman and we look like the guy on the ramen package?

And the majority of soap operas and novelas, about 50 percent of fairy tales.
The idea of "the life you live is an unfair illusion, be a good person and you'll receive the destiny you deserve" is a very popular plot, as far as humanity is concerned.
The Matrix, Harry Potter, Christianity, Buddhism, Star Wars, Plato's Cave...
Yes, I just drank a lot of caffeine.

Yes, you're right but read Puddenhead Wilson and you'll see why it's so relevant to this story.

Imagine if this was standard practice in our society, you can have kids but they get swapped at birth as a practice. I wonder of it would force the rich to make laws and practices that are better for everyone instead of just themselves.

The rich people who care would just bribe the people in the system to get their kids back, and the ones that don’t care would just shrug their shoulders and consider the adopted children as their own

This could be a movie. Then again, it most likely would be him driving for a good 70 of 90 minutes. I normally don't care that much for road movies.

If you add Burt Reynolds, Bob Hope, or a chimp to a road movie it's a hit.

It is a movie, in fact, it’s multiple movies. This happened a lot in Japan during that time period
