<p>In the first episode of Ping Pong the Animation, around 9 minutes in, Peco called Smile a poster child for B type blood. What does this mean, exactly? What significance does this have? How does this relate to his personality?</p>

@キルア I would vote as duplicate. The answer fits this question, and the Japanese culture around blood types has no relation to the anime in hand.

@Mindwin Except that the character in the show will have some, but not necessarily all, of the traits in question. The traits Smile shows may also not show direct overlap with any of the B-type traits in that question. Knowledge of the character in *Ping Pong* would basically be required to answer this properly.

  or
* "Peco is a living example of a blood type B's personality."
