Japanese male:
Usually the strength increases with the rank, although there are relatively weak or strong 9p's.

Japanese female:
A female player of rank x is, on average, significantly weaker than a male player of rank x.

Korean male:
To exaggerate a little, ranks have no meaning.

Korean female:
A female player of rank x is, on average, significantly weaker than a male player of rank x. High ranks are stronger than low ranks.

Korean versus Japanese:
On average, Korean male is significantly stronger than Japanese male.

Chinese versus Japanese:
For below top level players, Chinese is a bit stronger than Japanese.

So, don't think that all dans are the same. For example, male Korean 1p is usually stronger than average Japanese 9p and it's not a sensation at all.
