Number of Japanese residents in Shanghai 2014-2023
As of October 2023, approximately 37.32 thousand Japanese residents lived in Shanghai, the second lowest amount within the past decade. Shanghai was still one of the cities with the highest number of Japanese residents outside of Japan. Similarly, China was one of the countries with the highest number of Japanese residents. In the observed time frame, except for 2019, the size of the Japanese population in Shanghai has shrunken gradually with each year.
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. People with multiple citizenship are counted.
