Yeah no, that is not a "Japanese" thing. I have no idea what show you were watching but it was probably just a gag, or a way to avoid having to show his genitals, or something that one person did for whatever reason.
There are some people who sit that way. For example, British comedian Bob Mortimer said on an episode of Taskmaster that he does it because his anus is unusually high.
- metadat 4y agoHow would an unusually high anus benefit from facing away from the flusher / wall? I can only envision it being more likely to end up with the "mud" landing outside of the bowl. Is it to avoid "mud" ejecting into / against the toilet seat?
- eloisant 4y agoThat's how you're supposed to use a traditional Japanese toilet, facing the flush. Now granted, traditional Japanese toilets are getting rare in Japan, it's mostly western style toilets now.
