In my experience, using scales of 1 through 10 (least to most spicy), a Japanese 10 is an Indian-in-USA 2.

I usually do a 5 to 8 on Japanese scale, though 3 or 4 is fine when eating with more sensitive people. 1 is tooo sweet, even when I was in grammar school, although it's marketed in Japan towards kids. If an Indian restaurant in USA offers only "mild, medium, spicy", I should choose mild because medium will cause about 30 hours of pain along the entirety of my digestive tract.

Having eaten at coco yichiban curry house a few times, a 5 is really really spicy, I typically stay at Normal or one pepper, since they charge for it anyways, no point to add on.
