Unless you mean the specific individual in the photo, it's not Japanese.

No non-metric area in that picture, the core of my joke still stands :P

think of the bird's claw as a small torque wrench ... similarly, when we unscrew the cap of a jar, we notice that our hands have a limited torque capacity.
