Japanese people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (926 words) |
 | While most Japanese live on the islands, some emigrated, predominantly to Hawaii, the west coast of the United States and Canada, Latin America (particularly, Brazil), and Russia, (particularly, Sakhalin and Primorsky Krai). |
| The most accepted theory is that present-day Japanese are descended principally from both the Jomon, a paleo-Asiatic people, and the Yayoi, a neo-Asiatic people, with cultural influences from the Korean Gaya confederacy and Baekje kingdom, and also from the Sui, and Tang Dynasty of China. |
| The Japanese trace their ancestry to the Jomon people and the Yayoi people, and then perhaps the Koreans, Mongolians, Malays, Indonesians, and Polynesians, thus making their Mongoloid traits unique. |

| The Japanese archipelago — with more than one thousand islands in all — spans diverse living environments: snowy mountains in the northern island of Hokkaido; bustling cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka; tropical rice paddies in southern Kyushu. |
| Japanese are expected from a young age to work hard and succeed in a highly competitive environment. |
| Japanese often think of themselves as a homogeneous society, with a strong sense of group and national identity and little or no ethnic or racial diversity. |
