i doubt it. Katakana was invented by Buddhist men, and Hiragana was invented by women who weren't allowed to write in kanji. And you can tell by how Katakana characters are all sharp edges and Hiragana characters are all wavy https://files.catbox.moe/adl4rw.webp . Were there jews that showed up in ancient Japan. ? probably. that's why the Tengu and Nigawarai exist. But i doubt the writing system had anything to do with them. Katakana and Hiragana were created by simplifying Chinese characters

This is katakana we’re talking about. It’s the alphabet they use almost exclusively for *foreign* words. The (upper caste) Japanese have a tiny bit of a European-only haplogroup in them. If anything, there’s a little bit of a genetic remnant of The First Civilization in the Japanese.

katakana was probably invented to deal with traders, slave traders I presume

I don't know. They look similar to me.

There's around 120 characters in each of the syllabaries, but only a small number "match." We also know which Chinese characters they evolved from.

Psst ... hebrew isn't hebrew

They were all copying the Egyptians

Even Latin can trace its roots back to the Egyptians

Even Chinese comes from Egypt

Yeah, no. Katakana is basically parts ripped straight off kanji, and Hiragana developed as a kind of 'cursive' for parts of kanji.

Not only that, but Hiragana at one point had a whole host of various characters to represent each syllable, which was done away with in a script reform (see: Hentaigana).

Also RE elements of judaism in the Shinto temples and practices...

Back in the day, EVERYONE practiced similar religions.

Shinto hearkens back to an earlier time, long before Judaism was even invented. The people on that island were doing things and saying things that related to Judaism long before the Pharisees who murdered Jesus got together in Babylon to create a new religion opposed to everything good and holy and just in this world.

Katakana are just kanji radicals, the fragments that make up characters. Characters invented by the Chinese and further abstracted.

It's so much of a stretch, they had to pull from both hiragana and katakana alphabets to try and make the case. This is around 1/4th of the phonetic portion of Japanese.

Could be a 100th monkey effect in play.

Modern "Hebrew" is a complete reconstruction and doesn't use the ancient Hebrew script, but rather a Babylonian one which was adopted during the captivity in Babylon. Its more likely this is evidence the Japs had contact with Babylonian civilization (which wouldn't be unsurprising because it influenced everything) rather than them being jews, though I believe the ancients thought East Asians were racially Hebrew, but its also possible they are Japhetites who migrated very far from their origin.

It's a syllabary, not an alphabet.

Yes, the resemblance is odd, but I think it's one of the rare cases of a coincidence just being a coincidence.
