“…Studies of the physical growth of Japanese-American hybrid children from birth to 6 years (Kubota, 1953;Ishihara, 1955) and from 6 to 15 years (Suda et al, 1956(Suda et al, , 1968(Suda et al, , 1973(Suda et al, , 1975(Suda et al, , 1976Hoshi, 1969) produced a number of interesting results. For example, the growth curves of stature for JW and JB hybrids and their parental populations are compared in Figure 1.…”

Studies of growth and development in Japan since 1900 and especially after World War II are summarized in several topical areas: physical growth, development of physical fitness, longitudinal and allometric studies, dental development, skeletal maturation, studies of twins, growth of various groups of Japanese, i.e., Ainu children, children of Okinawa, Japanese Americans and Japanese‐American hybrids, and the secular trend. In general, Japanese growth and development are somewhat delayed compared to Americans and Europeans until childhood, but then develop more rapidly, reaching maturity at almost the same time. The secular trends for acceleration in growth and an increase in stature are observed in Japanese during these eight decades. More recently, the secular trends seem to be arriving at its final stage.

Two children, a sister and a younger brother, were measured with regard to stature, head and neck height, iliospinal height, and trunk length, every morning and evening for one year. They were 7.5 years old and 6.6 years old, respectively, on the first day of the investigation. In both children, stature and trunk length, but not the other dimensions, were longer in the morning and shorter in the evening. Almost all the year's statural elongation was due to lower limb elongation, but there was a sharp upward turn in April-May which resulted from an increase in trunk length. The head and neck height curves were flat throughout the year.
