Japanese birth and death rates since 1950. The drop in 1966 was due to it being a "hinoe uma" year.[1]

The fire horse (Japanese: 丙午 (ひのえうま), hinoe-uma, or へいご, heigo) or bing wu (Chinese: 丙午; pinyin: bǐngwǔ) is the 43rd combination of the sexagenary cycle. According to a superstition, girls born in such a year will grow up to kill their husbands. Therefore,[1] birthrates in Japan tend to see a sharp decline.[2]
