Congratulations and I hope it works out very well. I suppose I must have a fraction my blood being Asian since it is documented in my genes by the Geno-graphic project. Though it was a very long time ago that my ancestors came here across the Bearing straights.
Your Branch on the Human Family Tree
Your DNA results identify you as belonging to a specific branch of the human family tree called haplogroup B.
The map above shows the direction that your maternal ancestors took as they set out from their original homeland in East Africa. While humans did travel many different paths during a journey that took tens of thousands of years, the lines above represent the dominant trends in this migration.
Over time, the descendants of your ancestors spread throughout East Asia, with some groups making it as far as Polynesia and the Americas.
Japan. There are still debates going on about the people who came to the island nation. There were of course the Jomon people, the influx of Koreans and some Chinese, but there were others whose DNA were recently linked to the people of the south pacific and South America as well. Then there are the Ainu, who are not Asian at all.
The Ainu
Hello everyone. 
Kimiko ~yori .
I'll drop in from time to time. I'm not Asian, but a portion of my large extended family is and I've been exposed to a lot of Asian American culture.
