>A gaijin hunter is simply a Japanese person who targets foreigners. The goals of these "hunters" are quite various.
>"Foreigner as Fashion" Hunter
>This type is one who collects foreigners because gaijin are currently very en vogue in Japan. Hanging out with foreigners implies to others that the hunter is worldly and probably speaks English or some other language. They're easy to spot because no matter when you see them they're always surrounded by foreigners with no Japanese in sight. These hunters don't speak much English and the most conversation was the hunter making statements like, "This is my scarf," and "These are my earrings. Do you want to touch?".
>"Foreigner for Fluency" Hunter
>These hunters want to be around foreigners so they can get their English or other foreign language skills very good. This is one of the most common types in my experience. These hunters are very, very easy to pick out because if you speak Japanese to them, they will never or rarely respond to you in Japanese. It's happened to me a few times where this kind of hunter will speak or write to me in Japanese for the first few days but then they suddenly just stop using Japanese and never go back.
>"Foreigner as Trophy Wife/Husband" or "Foreigner as Datable Object" Hunter
>This is another very common hunter. Probably the easiest way to pick the FATW/H and FADO hunters is that they will bring up dating very early. This is a huge red flag and based on my experience is reason enough to move on. Other than that, I think you'll sense that they're not really talking to you; there's some kind of removed quality about them.
>All of the hunters have one trait in common that is easy to notice: they will approach you. The Japanese tend to be very shy, so it is seriously uncommon for one of them to just go up to a foreigner and start talking. I am not at all suggesting that every Japanese person who approaches you is a gaijin hunter, but be on your guard.
