[edit] Why so many in Brazil?
Does anyone know why there's such a large Japanese population in this country out of all other countries? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.10.178.141 (talk • contribs) .
Many Japanese farmers emigrated to Latin America, at the time work prospects in latin america for farmers were very good, now the inverse is true for industrial jobs in Japan. Japanese descendents living in Brazil & Latin America can get long term working visas relatively easily from the Japanese government, and many come to Japan with an already basic knowledge of the language. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reamonn (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Dekasegi
As for the dekasegi term, isn't it a general term in Japan for anyone who works in a city/state/region/country and came from somewhere else? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.175.130.105 (talk • contribs)
- According to WWWJDIC:
-
- 出かせぎ; 出稼ぎ(P) 【でかせぎ】 (n,vs) working away from home
- 出稼ぎ労働者 【でかせぎろうどうしゃ】 (n) economic nomad
- According to the Sanseido dictionary [1]:
-
- でかせぎ 出稼ぎ
-
- ・〜に行く go to〈Tokyo〉to work; work away from home.
- 出稼ぎ労働者 a seasonal [migrant] worker.
- See the dekasegi article for cultural connotations. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 19:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move
Japanese-Brazilian → Japanese Brazilian – Unless used as an adjective, this should not be hyphenated. New title reflects Japanese Canadian, Japanese American, Japanese Peruvian, etc. — Dekimasu 01:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Done. I also merged the page histories, which fit cleanly in terms of dates, though not in terms of substantial differences. —Centrx→talk • 02:59, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Population estimates
It seems confusing. The referenced web site (http://www.mofa.go.jp/region/latin/brazil/index.html) gives an estimates of 1.3 million people of Japanese descent in Brazil (an estimate I was familiar with), but the article bumps it to 1.5 million, apparently adding up the estimated number of these that are currently living in Japan. What led the original editor to assume that these numbers are complementary? I'm reverting it to the estimate given by the reference, just in case. It should be noted that the 2000 Population Census (http://www.ibge.gov.br/home/estatistica/populacao/censo2000/populacao/cor_raca_Censo2000.pdf) numbers for population by race (yeah, yeah, we know how precise those numbers can be in Brazil...), gives a figure of 760,000 people of Asian ethnicity. Let's have a joint effort to give these Brazilian population statistics in Wikipedia a more rigorous, less guesstimate, outlook.
In particular, I would like to know where the original editor got the figure of 400,000 for the number for whom Japanese is a first language. One out three, counting people who are mixed-race? I'm putting a citation tag just in case.

[edit] Leandro Okabe
Can somebody possibly make a link and create a Wikipedia page for the Japanese and Brazilian model, Leandro Okabe? You can find general information on him on Terra: The Boy as well as a number of blogs discussing him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Misteeqfan3 (talk • contribs) 18:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC).
[edit] "related groups" info removed from infobox

Will someone please tell us what is the EXACT amount of Japanese Brazilians living in Brazil? I strongly believe it's 1.5 million and not 1.3 million for obvious reasons. Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs listed 1.3 million in 1998. That is almost 10 years ago. Surely population MUST be bigger than that now. From what I read, there were already over more than 1 million in the 1970s. What gives?
[edit] Interwiki
The interwiki to :jp: seems to be wrong. That's an article on the Olympics games. -- 200.226.64.150 21:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
