The Japanese as a race just hate noses. Their traditional art, their comics and cartoons, their make-up styles, even the way they take photos all prove this. Japanese "beauty standards" want to make the nose (esp. the female nose) as close to invisible as they can. If they need to depict a huwaito gaijin, they give him/her a big jew schnozzle. If they need to depict a cute girl, they give her as little nose as possible, even if she's a literal animal.
It's a subtlety that most gaijin will never realize, even if they love anime/manga and deliberately attempt to ape Japanese styles. The Japanese themselves rarely even realize it. And if someone does realize, they sound crazy fur saying it.
