Number of Japanese residents in Los Angeles 2014-2023
As of October 2023, about 64.46 thousand Japanese residents lived in Los Angeles. Los Angeles, therefore, had the highest number of Japanese residents among any city outside of Japan. In the same year, the United States was by far the country with the highest number of Japanese residents. In the observed time frame, the Japanese population size in Los Angeles has been shrinking gradually each year, starting at about 69.29 thousand expats ten years ago.
The statistic, which is based on the information gathered by Japanese diplomatic missions abroad, does not include descendants of Japanese emigrants (nikkeijin) who do not hold Japanese citizenship, but people with multiple citizenship are counted.
