Small time trivia, but the reason you see "blood type" in game character profiles is because the Japanese have a whole thing for it. Always thought it was a fairly random thing but you'd see it over and over.

There's definitely some characters from shoot em ups too that have them listed, just can't remember, Darius series? Few other examples below



From the Wikipedia thing "According to popular belief, people with type A blood are friendly and kind, people with type B are spontaneous and creative, and people with type O are confident and aggressive. In a logical extension of this system, those with type AB are a mix of stereotypical A and B traits."
But there's more detail to it, like how fast you can recover from injuries and all that.
There you have it, the mystery you didn't know about has been solved. Do you have the right blood type to defeat Captain Commando or to romance Chun li?
