Actually, I think it's kind of dumb to create so many specific stereotypes like that. The whole point of stereotypes is that they're broad and easy to apply. Also, why are so many of them food related?!

It seems less like stereotyping and more like dissecting the various sub-culture and sub-personalities of a portion of the Japanese male populous in a similar way one might cut apart and separate portions of the American male populous, really.

Science Man. On account of being a scientist. That and the bad jokes thing.
