    Yes there are black people in Japan..........

    They're called tourists !!!!!

    Seriously though Japan has about a 4 to 5% minority of Koreans via several wars etc. That's less than 1/3 the

    relative number of black people in the US.

    There is black people in Japan, and pretty much all of them are American military. But I do remember seeing a couple black guys in Japan working at a Gap, and another who was a bartender at a very Americanized night club.

    There are many black people in Japan. Remember that we have a military presence there. Black couples live in Japan. Some Japanese women have children with black men and they remain in Japan. There are black people everywhere.

    That's absolutely wrong. There are black people; not only visitors but as well as residents. You'd probably have to go to the more urban areas (especially Tokyo) to notice that there really are a lot, though they do live in the suburbs too.

    People have the misconception that they're all from the American military (as we have bases there) but that is incorrect as well. There are a lot of blacks from Africa doing business there (I noticed a lot of Nigerians while living there).
