    Generally about the same, though probably Japanese on average.

    Not really. Mongoloids don't fall in to the same latitude-skin cline that Caucasoids do. Hokkaido Japanese aren't lighter than Okinawans. If anything, Mongoloids get darker the further north you go.

    Oh wow. I've never seen Japanese who looked like that before. Would never guess it in Hokkaido.

    It's very common for certain Japanese to resemble Southeast Asians to a certain degree IMO; this type of phenotype makes up a significant fraction of the population I would think...Koreans less so.

    On admixture runs Japanese score a decent amount of the Austronesian component(light blue), and even some minor South Asian etc...

    This map represents an approximation of different degree in the human skintone based on the Luschan Scale.

    The following table shows the 36 categories of the von Luschan scale in relation to the six categories of the Fitzpatrick scale:[2][3]

    Fitzpatrick type von Luschan scale Also called
    I 0–6 Very light or white, "Celtic" type[4]
    II 7–13 Light or light-skinned European[4]
    III 14–20 Light intermediate, or dark-skinned European[4]
    IV 21–27 Dark intermediate or "olive skin"[4]
    V 28–34 Dark or "brown" type
    VI 35–36 Very dark or "black" type

    Sorry for double posting. On the map above, the Koreans score 4.40-4.50 and the Japanese and Chinese score 4.70, which means that the Japanese are slightly darker than the Koreans by 0.20-0.30 on the Luschan Scale. The entire map can be viewed from the link.
