Same species, just some differences in coloration. The Japanese are said to be brighter in color than the Hawaiin's.

So.... If they are the same species I can assume they should have a similar personality (I understand that an individual will vary) . I guess I should just keep an eye out for either and see which ones colors I prefer. Sound like a plan?
Thanks

yeah japanese DMEs have more orange and just look cooler. as far as i know they both retail for the same ridonkulously high price (i sitll want one though) so you might as well just spend it whenever you find a japanese DME, unless you dont mind the hawaiian's (which is still amazing, just not as much as the japanese)

an lfs had a hawaiian at 2000$ canadian.
