Ardenettes in 2000: A mix of different ethnicities.

9 of the 10 players in this J-League are part Japanese, but only 2 of the 10 players are full Japanese.

"The criteria to play was you had to be at least half Japanese and could carry 3 full Chinese on the team. Now, because of mixed marriage, they dropped it at least a quarter Japanese and it only dropped to a quarter a couple years ago." -Robert Koga

As we can see the above picture, it's not always easy to tell who is Japanese-American. As intermarriage increases, where will the J-Leagues and the Japanese-American community draw the line to define a Japanese-American?
