It's not directly related to your post, but Japan has a very significant Brazilian population that live in very specific parts of Japan. Toyota[1], and its prefecture Aichi, are known for having a Portuguese-speaking population and they are, of course, working as cheap labor in automobile industries. In fact, some signs on the road are written in Portuguese, too.

There's a significant number of Japanese in Brazil, and a large portion of the Brazilian population is of Japanese descent. They're called the Nikkei Japanese, and they're predominantly ethnically Japanese.

		I wonder if there's the stat somewhere but I'm sure a sizeable portion is at least half Brazilian so it makes them a "half"—as Japanese like to say—which they don't tend to regard very highly. It is indeed a marginalized group in Japan and probably why there is such a big community in that area.

Since Brazil has a very significant Japanese population, that makes me wonder: Are these Brazilians in Japan ethnically Japanese or of other ethnicities?

		They're mostly ethnically Japanese Brazilians.
