[Question] Hong Kong

Hey guys,

Was looking at the Hong Kong fan arts, (which are all awesome by the way), and I couldn't help but notice his peculiar eyebrows. I think I stumbled on a post where the person actually explained it (something about a curse?) but I looked at something else and forgot which post I clicked.;_; I also tried looking for canon HK art but wasn't able to find it..could any kind soul help me out?

Thanks! =)

Hong Kong's inherited UK's eyebrows, since it was once a British Empire colony.

This entry talks about where his eyebrows come from. (http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-69.html) It's part of the Q&A that Himaruya-san does.

"今日のブログにアップされていたちびキャラで、韓国のお隣は香港さんですか? (The character that was uploaded on today's blog update (http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-66.html)--is that Hong Kong next to Korea?)"

Himaruya-san's answer: はい、香港さんです。顔は中国似で後天的に呪いか何かで眉毛がああなりました。 (Yes, that is Hong Kong-san. His face is similar to China's but due to a curse, his eyebrows became that way.)

And since Hong Kong was a British Colony, it's a curse from UK.

Plus the infamous HK sketch where he obviously does not have any emoting muscles on his face. (http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-86.html)

XD

And I feel hilarious when I found they use "The curse of Great Britain" as a tag for HK's fanart in Pixiv. ^^;

omg thay really use this as a tag? XDD I've seen some fan art on pixiv, but with my lack of language skillz I didn't undestand the tags XD So hilarious.

Believe me, It's true. XD

A funny tag in pixiv is not only "The curse of Great Britain(大英帝国の呪い)"-HK, someone even use "1.7 billion(17億)" as Iceland's tag.lol

Japanese Hetalia fandom even more crazier about tagging vid in niconico, I often burst a laugh when I read those tags. XD
