It's not even about doing correct genetics. It's about how to make a character look exotic to a Japanese audience. And to a Japanese audience a blond hair, blue eyed character is very exotic.

Eh..... having lived in Japan for ages, the ignorance of genetics is also a factor. I know tons of Japanese women who get with blue-eyed Western guys who are crushed when they learn it's just not possible for their kids to have them. (They also tend not to know other genetic things about white people - like the fact that we can be born blond and stay blond until adolescence or even near adulthood, then have our hair darken, or that our hair can turn from light brown to blond in the summer, or that a man's hair and beard can be entirely different colors, etc. etc.)

Annnnd it's not just Japanese people, either - my brother's Indian wife was similarly crushed to learn that after marrying my blond-haired, blue-eyed brother, the only chance she had of a blue-eyed kid is if she'd had other blue-eyed ancestors.
