Blood Types

On the application for access to Toyota one of the questions is the applicants blood type. None of the other questions stood out to me as unusual and the application inst that long, it requests things like address, company, license plate number, and the reason for requesting access.
Wikipedia has an extensive article on the history of why blood types because important in Japanese culture. Personally I don't know my blood type, I have attempted and failed to donate blood twice, but the Red Cross still cant tell me my type. The Japan Times also has an article with more information about the cultural importance of blood types.
