Japanese in Hawaii
History of Japanese people in Hawaii / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Japanese in Hawaii (simply Japanese Hawaiians or “Local Japanese”, rarely Kepanī) are the second largest ethnic group in Hawaii. At their height in 1920, they constituted 43% of Hawaii's population.[2] They now number about 16.7% of the islands' population, according to the 2000 U.S. Census. The U.S. Census categorizes mixed-race individuals separately, so the proportion of people with some Japanese ancestry is likely much larger.[3]
