Filipinos in Japan (Japanese: 在日フィリピン人, Zainichi Firipinjin, Filipino: Mga Pilipino sa Hapon) formed a population of 309,943 in June 2023 individuals, making them Japan's fourth-largest foreign community, according to the statistics of the Philippines.[2] Their population reached as high as 245,518 in 1998, but fell to 144,871 individuals in 2000 before beginning to recover slightly when Japan cracked down on human trafficking. In 2006, Japanese/Filipino marriages were the most frequent of all international marriages in Japan.[3] As of 2016, the Filipino population in Japan was 237,103 according to the Ministry of Justice.[4] Filipinos in Japan formed a population of 325,000 individuals at year-end 2020, making them Japan's third-largest foreign community along with Vietnamese, according to the statistics of the Philippine Global National Inquirer and the Ministry of Justice.[5][6] In December 2021, the number of Filipinos in Japan was estimated at 276,615.[7]
According to figures published by the Central Bank of the Philippines, overseas Filipino workers in Japan remitted more than US$1 billion between 1990 and 1999; one newspaper described the contributions of overseas workers as a "major source of life support for the Philippines' ailing economy."[8][9] Though most Filipinos in Japan are short-term residents, the history of their community extends back further; during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, some Filipino students studied in Japanese universities.[10]
There is a magazine called Kumusta! (クムスタ). Junta Shimozawa publishes and edits the Japanese portion and his spouse Hermie edits the Tagalog version. In 1996 it had a weekly circulation of 30,000, and its website was to appear in March of that month.[11]
