Usage of the term Zainichi
"Zainichi, or the Korean residents in Japan, have been "

This statement leads readers to believe that the term Zainich means Korean residents of Japan where Zainichi means they are permanent residents of Japan but can be any group whether korean, chinese, etc.

While the Korean groups is the largest and is the most commonly suggested by the term "zainichi" one cannot discount the existence of other groups of permanent residents.

The above statement should be changed to something like

"Zainichi, permanent residents of Japan like Korean permanent residents, have been" if the uncited text is talking about a group of various zainichi residents.

"Zainichi Koreans, or the Korean permanent residents in Japan, have been" if the text is specifically talk about about a group of zainichi kankokujin.

The second case is more likely to be what was intended. --Hydenobuyuki (talk) 14:33, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Right to vote
Suffrage means the right to vote in elections. It doesn't mean 'feminist movement'. Yet this article does not even mention when and how women in Japan got the right to vote. The writers have totally missed the point and failed to provide any information about suffrage. Please do better! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.213.146.102 (talk) 05:40, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
