On Nikkei Identity
I don’t think I would call anybody who isn’t Japan – citizens of Japan “Nikkei,” it’s only outside of Japan we become Nikkei. And someone who is staying here for temporary is not Nikkei either. So somebody who is here, or outside of Japan, will be Nikkei. Somebody who decide to live outside of the country, permanently. So I feel I am a Nikkei.
