TRUE REALITY: EVEN SPECIAL PERMIT OR PERMITTED RESIDENCE: KOREANS IN JAPAN SURPASS CHINESE POPULATION IN JAPAN. IF YOU COUNT HALF KOREAN-JAPANESE OR NATURALIZED KOREANS IN JAPAN IT WILL BE AT LEAST 6 MILLION OR ABOVE. PLUS 300,000 KOREANS IN JAPAN POPULATION NUMBERS ARE KOREANS WHO IMMIGRATED TO JAPAN DURING the 1970'S. NOT SURE WHY JAPAN IMMIGRATION BUREAU OR JAPAN POPULATION STATISTICS BUREAU NOT COUNTING ALL KOREANS IN JAPAN POPULATION INTO THE COUNT??? ARE THEY AFRAID OF KOREANS IN JAPAN ACTUAL POPULATION SIZE???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by KoreanPenin5ulaKP (talk • contribs) 02:41, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
ACTUAL POPULATION ( KOREANS IN JAPAN) PROBABLY MORE THAN 800,000-900,000 THOUSAND. REALITY EVEN JAPAN GOVERNMENT DO NOT HAVE IDEA. DO NOT BE SURPRISE IF ACTUAL POPULATION IS ABOUT 6-20 MILLION. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Korrectpedia (talk • contribs) 13:48, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
Seriously? I thought this was a simple typo, but "Korean Japanese" is a redirect to "Japanese Korean". What gives? —Mhari* 22:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
The section in question reads:
[quote]So far, three prefectures - Osaka, Nara and Kanagawa - have granted voting rights to permanent foreign residents. However, the Japanese Diet has not yet passed a resolution regarding this matter despite several attempts by political parties to do so, and there is considerable public and political opposition against granting voting rights to those who have not yet adopted Japanese nationality[endquote] .
I think this information is out of date, though. To begin with, the regional High Courts, and the Supreme Court, in a series of suits and appeals, have rejected the right to vote lawsuits from the zainichi. I think the law is pretty clear, these days, - no sufferage for zainichi at national elections. Is the author of the above alluding to local prefectural elections? If so, I think zainichi are also denied the right to vote there too. Is there a citation for the author’s claim? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.27.250.213 (talk) 07:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Well, no one did anything about it or supported the statement with a citation. In any event I'm pretty certain it's wrong so I changed it. Osaka, Nara and Kanagawa cannot "grant" voting rights to non-citizens unilaterally, even in prefectural elections. Their motions to do so were struck down by the courts, so it's not true to say that they "granted" any voting rights. 122.27.250.213
"Category:Anti-Korean sentiment in Japan" should be deleted. This category is just only Koreans in Japan. Certainly, Some Koreans in Japan made criminals and made Anti-Korean sentiment, however most of all are good people. The word "Koreans in Japan" do not directly suggest Anti-Korean sentiment in Japan.--Bukubku (talk) 11:36, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Look these cabinet decisions, these are primary source. Japanse labor draft started in 1939.[1] However, Korean labor draft was exempted until 1944.[2]--Bukubku (talk) 17:24, 13 December 2008 (UTC) why?why the text is different between in Japanese version and English one! I think the people who write the article understand that some of the article which is only Japanese version will be problem or very very embarrassing in international understanding. I felt very very sick to be japanese, Not be embarrassed me!!!!! idiot!!
Have you read those sources about draft?--Bukubku (talk) 03:41, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Abducted Korean descendant Park shigenori became Japanse Minister for Foreign Affairs. Did abducted Japanese by Koreans succeed in Korea?--Bukubku (talk) 06:30, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
I believe that Koreans in Japan have been primary subjects of discrimination in Japanese history and society which are all addressed in the article, so this pertinent category is relevant to the article, but user named Bukubku does not think so. Please leave your input here. Thanks.--Caspian blue 18:32, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
What purpose does it serve to include "Crime" as the second listed category for famous Koreans in Japan? This is extremely antagonistic and serves only to perpetuate stereotypes that are false and socially damaging. There is simply no context in which this should be considered acceptable. Including this contributes nothing useful, it only serves those who wish to perpetuate their prejudiced views. I suggest the entire section be removed completely. 207.171.180.101 (talk) 02:02, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
There's a section on criminals for the list of famous Italian Americans.--164.67.232.230 (talk) 01:20, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
As I said above, your argument is based on a reverse argument of WP:OTHERSTUFF, i.e. "There is no other stuff like this, So it should be removed". Any policy or Guideline support such an argument. Please ask to the Italian American Talk page and the English American why criminals are not in the picture by yourself.
I removed the list as I explained above. ―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 23:00, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
Like most ethnic group, Korean doesn't have a plural in English dictionary. In Merriam Webster, Korean, is defined as native of Korea. There's no entry of Koreans. Likewise, there's no plural of Indian(s), Chinese (Chineses) Japanese(Japaneses) etc. Therefore, to move Koreans in Japan to Korean in Japan, which is more grammatically safe and ethnically acceptable, shouldn't cost much or hurt anybody's feeling, I hope. Clari 2010 (talk) 14:15, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Anyon haseyo! Adding 's' or 'es' to a word that ends in s already for plurality ,makes it sound funny please believe me. Thus
'Koreans' and Indians is ok.
Japanese's' is not ok.
Japanese is both plural and singular.
'Koreans' and Indians are both plural only.--Jondel (talk) 07:34, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
The opening sentence implies it is about ethnic Koreans (including Japanese citizens) but the rest of the intro implies it is about Korean nationals residing in Japan. If the latter, then can we get clarification on the citizenship of the "examples" pictured in the infobox (Ms. Mizusawa et al)? Because if they are Japanese citizens, even if the article is about ethnic Koreans, the accompanying text appearing to describe them as "Zainichi" is ... well, the kind of thing that bigots would accuse me of being "politically correct" for trying to change.

I have added "nin" to the Japanese text and transliteration to clarify that they are two seperate terms and not one long hyphenated term. The elevated period in between Japanese terms equates to the English use of "/".
Note that Chosenjin is the term used before the establishment of South Korea at the end of the Korean War. Some resident Koreans in Japan resent the use of this term (more likely those affiliated with the South). However during the height of instant camera technology such devices were called, "Bakachon Kamera" which means either a fool or Korean can use one which made the association with the label Chosenjin more undesirable.

The second paragraph of this section stated that it would be "technically correct" to call Pro-North Zainichi who have not re-registered as South Korean "North Koreans in Japan". This is absolutely not correct. These people have never been, and are unlikely to ever be, nationals of North Korea. The paragraph also used the word "status" as if they were considered to be legally North Korean, which is also entirely false. I've already made the necessary corrections.
These people are either holding on to the closest thing they have to their original nationality--of their home country which no longer exists--for one reason or another. Perhaps they are waiting for Korea to reunite in the hope their nationality will become valid again, or for Japan to re-open relations with the DPRK so they can re-register in as North Korean, or maybe they just don't want to deal with the racist legal system of the country that very likely forced them out of their ancestral homeland, treated them as less than human for decades, stranded them in its territory, and has refused to allow them to integrate into its society ever since, but that's just my opinion.
It is fundamentally incorrect to suggest that they are nationals of North Korea and they most certainly are not considered as such under Japanese law.
Consider the three countries' points of view: South Korea considers itself a new nation replacing Chosen and the definitive "Korea" while North Korea considers itself the socialist rebirth of Chosen and the definitive "Korea". I'm not sure, legally, how Japan defines the two countries, but it appears to recognize both, although it terminated relations with the DPRK some years ago. In fact, there is as yet no definitive "Korea" as the armistice continues.
One could argue that South Korea's request to the Allied occupational forces to push re-registration on ethnic Koreans in Japan might have been an attempt to legitimize South Korea's claim to be "Korea" and establish a more favourable relationship between itself, Japan, and the west than the DPRK, which deeply resents cultural assimilation. 218.44.105.187 (talk) 20:51, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Would he be considered a repatriate to North Korea who then escaped? He parents were repatriates but he was born in the country. 188.141.47.192 (talk) 02:24, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Currently the article's scope includes both Zainichi Koreans (pre-1945 arrivals and their descendants) and recent immigrants to Japan ("newcomers" in South Korean literature, I haven't seen how western literature refers to them; mostly post-1980ish from South Korea).
The two are really really different groups though. I'd argue this may merit a split at some point. toobigtokale (talk) 23:56, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
