Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? (2026)

I answered this question twice. I will answer again next year.

This time, I want to compare myself to a boar. Because it’s my zodiac animal. Japan’s zodiac originally came from China. In China, it’s a pig, not a boar. I don’t know well, but apparently wild boars are rare in China. In Japan, there are boars in the countryside. Some people eat boar meat. I have never tried.

Well, both animals are similar. What’s the difference? I could write another blog about this title.

This article explains Japan’s zodiac in English.

According to the article, people born in the year of the boar are brave. Women are optimistic, honest, and short-tempered. I think it’s true. I used to get angry easily. But my question is, how do you know?

The difference from the Chinese zodiac is also interesting. Women born in the year of the pig are loving, sincere, and diligent. Sounds good to me.

A few years ago, I saw boars in Florida.

They were pets, so lovely. Wild boars are dangerous. They are very strong.

I let you know their weakness is poor eyesight.

    This is such an engaging and thoughtful reflection. I really enjoyed how you connected the idea of comparing yourself to a boar with the cultural background of the Japanese zodiac. The way you explored the differences between the Chinese pig and the Japanese boar makes the piece both informative and personal. I also liked the touch of curiosity in your writing—questioning how these traits are known adds a charming, reflective tone. A delightful blend of culture, observation, and self-reflection.

      Thank you. I often talk to Chinese people (my job is teaching Japanese), and they taught me so.

      Do you have a zodiac animal and sign?

        That’s wonderful! It must be very interesting to interact with people from different cultures through your work. Teaching Japanese and learning from your Chinese students sounds like a rewarding exchange of language and traditions.
