I think it's because they resemble traditional anime expressions.

That, or they're incredibly racist, and think that carats are accurate representations of epicanthic folds.

Well, since these emoticons in their huge and almost endless variety HAVE been around for over 20 years (as I know from first-hand experience /~__^ ), long before the current hyper-trendy-popularity of Anime (which I have also been a big fan of for over 20 years), it's silly to now refer to them as "Japanese"... I think some quiz-makers just aren't very familiar with their Geek History. XD

...We used all these suckers in college before there WAS an Internet. :p

Aye, but I was trying to think of why these young'uns who know not of the ARPANet might associate them with japanese. That's the best I could come up with; honestly, I'm as baffled as ye.
