Chinese people have had a long history in Japan and make up the largest foreign minorities in Japan. This includes any Japanese individuals self-identifying as ethnic Chinese or Chinese permanent residents living in Japan. People aged 22 or older cannot possess dual-citizenship in Japan, so Chinese possessing Japanese citizenship typically no longer possess Chinese citizenship
