How many boxing — Japan fighters have a reach on record?

36 of 130. Reach is stated in the English Wikipedia infobox for those and absent for the rest, so every reach figure on this page — including the median — describes only the 36. It is not extrapolated to the others.

What does the median reach advantage mean for boxing — Japan?

That the typical boxing — Japan fighter's reach exceeds their height by 1.47% of that height. It is a ratio rather than a raw span, so it compares directly against any other cohort on this site — which a reach in inches does not.

How this country is compiled

Every published fighter this site files under boxing — Japan — 130 of them. Membership is stated by the source, never assigned to fill a cohort.
Reach advantage is (reach − height) ÷ height as a percentage, so fighters of different sizes compare directly.
Medians, not means — one outlier should not move the typical figure.
A cohort is only published at 30 fighters or more. Below that a median is a rumour, so no page is emitted and nothing links to one.

reach advantage = (reach − height) ÷ height × 100
