Answer 4

"In 2003, there were 1,915,030 registered foreigners in Japan, representing 1.5% of Japan's population of 127 million."

I'd say "the three major nationalities of residents in Japan who are not Japanese citizens" are:

Koreans (32%), Chinese(24%), Brazilians, Filipinos(10%)...

(% According to the link.)

I live in Tokyo and I'd say that Tokyo has the highest percentage of foreigners, I (American) being one of them.

Answer 5

In Tokyo, around 10% is non-Japanese, but in small cities, about 100% is Japanese, so in total 5% is non-Japanese.

The majority is Chinese, Korean, South East Asian and Brazilian for illegal immigrants, and American, Australian and British for English teachers, legal workers.
