An episode of TRICK (a Japanese comedy/mystery drama) comes to mind...there were three girls (I'm not sure if they were three sisters or two sisters and a cousin) and two of them were murdered. When the main character asks the other one why she killed them (because she did), the girl says it's because they were in love with their cousin (a guy, who just so happened to be IZAM...even though that has nothing to do with anything...). The main character replies that "I don't understand. They are cousins (I believe their parents were all siblings, but I'm definitely not sure) so it's okay..." and then the girl confesses that she was in love with him too. I think she then proceeded to kill herself. It sounds kind of morbid but TRICK is actually quite a hilarious slapstick mystery show. xD
Anyway (I just felt like talking about my favorite show for no reason), my point is (yes, I have one), relationships between cousins don't seem to be a major problem in Japan. They appear to be common in manga/anime/dramas...but yeah, I don't ask my parents about this stuff, so I'm really not sure.
Like I said in an earlier post, I wouldn't have a problem if Neji and Hinata were just cousins, but their fathers were identical twins (meaning they are almost half-siblings), which makes it kinda icky.
