Turks in Japan (Japanese: 在日トルコ人Turkish: Japonya Türkleri) refer to Turkish people living in Japan. At the start of the 20th century, groups of Volga Tatars immigrated from Kazan, Russia, to Japan. Most of these groups preserved their culture and language as they were not dispersed. During 1950's, they gained Turkish citizenship. However, due to emigration, their population decreased to 2275[4] in 2005. Tatars in Japan founded their first mosque and school in 1935[5] in Kobe. In 1938[5], they built another mosque in Tokyo. Though the Turkish community has diminished in size, those remaining founded the Tokyo Camii and Turkish Cultural Center in 2000.
Turkish-Japanese relations
The newly-developed term "Tatarasei" represents a Japanese person of Turkish descent or heritage. 7,000 Turkish-Japanese persons originated from the Turkish town and area of Fatsa.[6]
The historical stance on the Turkish-Japanese relationship was generally positive. Both Turkey and Japan are involved in a number of diplomatic relations summits and expressed a gratitude of friendship between the two nations. Despite the level of xenophobia and many Japanese are kind of hesitating to built up a relationship with gaijin or "foreigners" in a predominantly homogeneous society, the Turkish-Japanese community has a good standing[citation needed].
Turkey has declared 2010 as the Year of Japan to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the Turkish-Japanese friendship.[7]
