This is a twenty-first century. Get with the program dawg!
Bloodline is overrated. “What have you done for me lately?” hello!?

And since you live in the USA or so you say, I reckon you’ve learned and known these lines:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Learn it, live it!

to the above commenter that is pretty close minded…you can’t help who you fall in love with. They tried to get others to accept their marriage but in the end they will get married anyway.

I strongly feel that he is selfish for choosing a foreign woman to marry.
Because he is a decendent of an ultimate Japanese symbol, “Tokugawa” family, he has a responsibility to marry a Japanese women as means to honor his and Japan’s ancestors who sacrificed their life to a nation called “Japan”. If I were to be born into a Tokugawa family, I would be so proud and would be committed to the family name.

I will not care or less who the marriage partner is in most cases, even if he is a decendent of Toyota or Sony family.

But, it is not a overstatement to say, “Tokugawa” established the foundation of modern Japan (for better and worse).

If she is going to marry him officially, I hope she is intelligent and virtuous enough to devote herself to study Japanese culture and history.

Only then, she will be changing Japanese legacy toward a positive course (not turning into a cheap tabloid subject, and contribute greatly to Japan-Vietnam relationship.
