Yes, she also told me she's from HK, with one Japanese parent. I say, sure, why not? Could be true. But if so I would bet that parent was a black sheep/rebel - never spoke to her in Japanese, and never took her to meet ba-chan and ji-chan. She does not appear to speak any Japanese at all. While I tend to look askance at some of these generalizations, I would say there is nothing specifically "Japanese" about her.
