Gender of immigrant
Do we have information on male to female ratio of those Japanese people that migrate Brazil?ShanghaiWu (talk) 18:24, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

I know that there are a lot of Chinese who migrate to America continent for work are mostly male but does the same thing also goes for the Japanese where most that migrate are male?ShanghaiWu (talk) 08:49, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

So who intermarries more? Men or women?
I would say Japanese-Brazilian women intermarry more than Japanese-Brazilian men, but most of the celebrities listed here have paternal Japanese ancestry.== — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.213.193.29 (talk) 04:07, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

I cannot speak about Brazilian Japanese, but I recall a statistic that in Japan, women were seven times more likely to marry a foreigner, than a Japanese male. Assuming it's a "cultural thing", your guess might well be right.46.7.85.68 (talk) 15:34, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Why so many in Brazil?
Does anyone know why there's such a large Japanese population in this country out of all other countries? &mdash;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. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reamonn (talk • contribs).


 * The USA in 1905(firsts imigrants of Japan in Brazil) was very racist/restritive politic of imigration against asians and non-europeans imigrants(south/east europeans too was discriminated); Japaneses preffer imigrate to Brazil(in Brazil the restrictions with imigration of japaneses was very small comparated to USA - in second world war include, was a very "japanphobyc" sentiment against the japanese people)!! see: "the yellow peril" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.71.77.13 (talk) 10:22, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

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 :


 * 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)

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 &bull; 02:59, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

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 Bra

Adriana Lima's Japanese heritage
Adriana Lima mentions her Japanese ethnicity in a interview on E! Here is the link posted on YOUTUBE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXZdkNAx6sE —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.215.81.225 (talk) 16:08, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Japanese Brazilians in the New York Times "Lens Blog"
Here is an interesting article about Japanese Brazilians. I have added it as a reference. http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/09/25/japanese-brazilians-straddling-two-cultures/?partner=rss&emc=rss Eastmain (talk • contribs)  02:16, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Decline of Japanese Brazilians
The article claims that "The overall Japanese Brazilian population is declining, secondary to a decreased birth rate and an aging population; return immigration to Japan,[9][10][11] as well as intermarriage with other races and dilution of ethnic identity".

I don't think this is true. Yes, the Japanese-born population in Brazil is aging and declining, but to assume that Brazilians of Japanese descent are "disappearing" is a gross exaggeration. By the way, many people have been returning from Japan to Brazil in recent years. Xuxo (talk) 05:08, 23 May 2015 (UTC)


 * I checked and none of the cited sources claim this absurd. I removed them. Xuxo (talk) 05:17, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Distribution and Population
There is reference to the population in a 2000 GIBE report. Alongside it is a box showing the distribution of the population in 2010, and the population is identical. I assume that this is the same report, but in one of the references, the year mentioned is wrong.46.7.85.68 (talk) 15:42, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

abolition of slavery
The article lists 1850 as the end of slavery in Brazil, but the article on Wikipedia about slavery in Brazil says it ended in 1888. Where is the 1850 date in this article coming from? Amorrn (talk) 21:44, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
