IIRC Genghis Khan didn't invade Japan. Kublai Khan tried a couple of times but was prevented from reaching Japan by kamikaze.
Don't complain to me that people kick you when you're down. It's your own fault for lying there

Yes.
But like I heard. Some Chinese actually admire him, even though he invaded them.
Do Japanese also admire him? or kind of don't care?

I don't believe that the Japanese have any more of an opinion of him than you might have of Napoleon Bonaparte. This might not be true, however. I know for a fact though that although he invaded a lot of countries and had that eurasia thing going on, he never made japan a part of it.

Kublai Khan twice attempted to invade Japan in search of gold; however, both times, it is believed that bad weather destroyed the fleets, or a flaw in the design of the ships.

Yeah, I guess in the early 1200's the fact that Japan is an island kept them pretty safe from stuff like that

Yep, bad weather that the Japanese believe was a typhoon sent by the gods, hence the name kamikaze 神風.guitarplayer7694 wrote:

i see, when i think kamikaze i think planes, is it a word that the japanese use a lot.
RE: View of Genghis Khan by Japanese people/history etc
when Japanese use the word kamikaze, it has nothing to do with planes.

@Treasure:
I feel Napoleon is much more distant to the US than Djengiz Khan to Japan. In Europe most people probably do have an opinion about Napoleon.
Historically, it's not so unusual for conquered people to admire their conquerers. There will be those who oppose and those who admire. Most will probably simply try to continue their daily lives and keep their own identity. And of course be very happy when the conquerer buggers off again....

They don't really think about his historical conquests (since he didn't do anything in Japan), but they really enjoy his barbeque.
