Japas is one of the characters in the game Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. He is a Zora, and he plays bass in the band The Indigo-Go's. He's a laid back, relaxed guy whose long "hair" (which is really fins) is styled like that of a typical grunge rocker. He frequently held jam sessions with Mikau, guitarist of The Indigo-Go's, before he died, and once Link gets the Zora Mask, he (Link) can embody the spirit of Mikau and play with Japas.
Japas is amazing and you know it.

Sea of Japan 

A misnomer endorsed by the Japanese government itself and supported by the majority of the gullible and uneducated population of Japan with no regards to history whatsoever.
The Japanese think that the so called "sea of japan" is the body of water between S.Korea and Japan. However, that body of water has been called the East Sea (in relation to Korea) for over 2000 years and represented in maps both in Europe as well as Japan as the EAST SEA.

Rare, educated Jap: What you idiot?

Dumb Avg. Jap: Da see of japan raer i goin pish!

Rare, educated Jap: You're a fool. The "Sea of Japan" is non existent. It's made up by our incompetent, dumb government. It's been called the East Sea for 2000 years and recorded on European maps as the East Sea since the 16th cent. People like you are the reason why our population as a whole is regarded to be dumb and ignorant.

Dumb Avg. Jap: Noooooooouuu! Eberybady call it da Shea of Japan! Japanesh Wocks!!

Rare, educated Jap: smh, smh.
