Looks like a fun place for a tourist😂😂
Lots to see, do and buy.
I didn't know there were many Japanese in Brazil enough to make a small community...
I love the street art pictures. They're quite entertaining..

Is one milion people a small community to you? What’s a large one then?
My country is densely populated so in my point of view 1 million is still a small-medium community of people 😂ðŸ˜
Big is from 5 up...
Even if they live abroad?
Well it's just my outlook of things😂😂
To me 1 million is small-medium 😂😂
I think in Sao Paulo tem still are very small community less than 100k for sure
Well, I've found 1m in various sources - I am talking about people of Japanese descent, not necessarily people born in Japan.

many different data I am founding lol it looks like the last proper data came from 1987 which had this number in the whole Brazil like your print screen says. I found a 2017 data from japan embassy saying 326k in Sao Paulo.
that looks like a more accurate info since IBGE is the official Statistics of Brazil, but we don't know for sure how many of these 850 are from Japanese ancestry. There was a big immigration of Chinese in the last 20 years for sure
Maybe it also depends on the metrics, I can imagine many people only have one parent from Japanese ancestry, and they may, or may not be counted/identify themselves as Brazilian Japanese.
I think I was told this figure in Sampa tourist centre too, but I can't really guarantee, it's been over a month :)
