A very informative video on the reasons behind Japanese immigration to South America, with a focus on Brazil and Peru. I still get the question from churches I visit: "There are Japanese in Brazil?" Yes. In fact, Brazil has the largest population of Japanese outside of Japan with 1.8 million. By comparison, the US has in the neighborhood of 750,000. (Note: Wikipedia places the Japanese population in the US at 1.4 million though I doubt that the number is that high).
