There is a popular belief in Japan that a person's blood type or 'ketsueki-gata' is predictive of their personality, temperament, and compatibility with others. Although there is no proven correlation between blood type and personality, it remains popular with the many matchmaking services that cater to blood type.
In this way, it is similar to the use of astrological signs in the West. Asking one's blood type is common in Japan, and people are often surprised when a non-Japanese does not know his or her own blood type.
