We are actually in the process of adding more model sentences to the library - we finally have time now that the asset production for adventure mode is done for a couple of months.
#5 jumped down to #6, but it is fixed. The data was right, but it was getting mixed up. #6 should only be A の B.
Here's how to think of #6 - Both A and B are the same thing. Doctor + person, pikachu + pokemon, etc. #4 is broader in its usage.
It's called apposition, where you have two nouns phrases referring to the same object.
It's usually used either to help uniquely identify it:
* My house , the second one from the left , is up for sale.
* I'm here today with one of my attorneys , Mark Frisby .
Or to provide more information about it, such as clarification, context or explanation:
* Aldebaran , the brightest star in the Taurus constellation , is a red giant.
* A defender of maidens everywhere , Sir Gawain came to her rescue.
In your example, 'who is from Japan' isn't a noun, but a relative clause.
Compare that with: Mr. Suzuki, the Japanese prime minister = 日 本 の首 相 の鈴 木 さん
Since they're both descriptions of the same person, there's no need to modify their relationship with words like 'from' or 'in', as in usage #4.
