Nikkeijin
definition: The term Nikkeijin refers to Japanese emigrants and their descendants, or “person of Japanese ancestry” in Japanese, although this usually does not include Japanese nationals in Japan. Until the 1990s, this term referred primarily to ethnic Japanese communities abroad, distinguishing between Japanese in Japan and ethnic Japanese outside of Japan.
