Does one have to bow in Japan? I'm only asking, not condoning Williams' gesture of adulation to the Scatterbrain.

It's custom in JAPAN. I watched it several times (my stomach has its limits) and Williams was quite awkward with the maneuver, not at all spontaneous as it would be in Japan. The whole thing looked a bit staged to me.

“to bow in Japan?’

When I was in Japan on the way to Korea, I would bow my head in imitation of the Japanease. It seemed rather humorous at the time.
