[/floatl]The Ministry of Justice has announced that foreign residents in Japan totalled 2,134,151 at the end of 2010. That represents a fall of 51,970 from last year. 2009 saw the first decline since records started to be kept in 1961 so two years is also unprecedented. The Immigration Bureau says Nikkei Brazilians have continue to leave the country as the economy is still feeling the ill-effects of the financial crisis. Chinese residents remain the most numerous, increasing 6,600 to 687,000, while second-placed Koreans declined 12,000 to 566,000 as many special permanent residents continue to naturalize. Brazilians are still in third place with 230,000 but that's a hefty fall of 37,000 from last year. Filipinos are in fourth place with 210,000 which was a small decline from 2009. The trend is unlikely to reverse this year given that the first half of 2011 saw a net outflow of foreign residents following the earthquake.Source (Japanese)
