Why are *BSD's so popular with Japan?

Never. I don't know how you can even get this much worse than Windows. I would rather install Windows XP again then use Appleware.

i've never used mac os, but i hate windows. how bad is it?

Your picture only shows FreeBSD is the dominant BSD in each of these countries.
Here's the repartition for FreeBSD searches, clearly China has an interest and Japan is average (#24). Clearly they are a little more interested in NetBSD than other countries (#8) but I wouldn't say it's popular in Japan.
Second picture shows FreeBSD (OpenBSD and NetBSD are even lower) against Linux and Windows.

Also, you're assuming they would use keywords such as "Windows" or "FreeBSD"... but wouldn't they instead us their alphabet to make such searches?

Oh, you mean, romajis, the alphabet they use for western words? It's latin alphabet.
Why would they use kanji, hiragana or katakana to search for those?
Anyway, I was just putting some perspective. If you know of their alphabet I am interested in this kind of results.

Chinks are hardcore hackers and next to them are ruskies.
It could also be that the said BSDs have good IME for asian runes (contrary to linux which sucks compared to windows)

Probably, also the people who can do Google searches over there are more prone to use something not government issued (Linux or *BSD). Although even in China BSD searches are insignificant compared to Linux searches.

also, define drugs. Something tells me you're the type that lumps caffeine, alcohol, nicotine and pot in with meth, coke and heroine
