Actually, Arudou Debito didn’t “go back” in the sense he’s not ethnically Japanese.
From debito.org:
“My name is Arudou Debito ( 有道出人 in Kanji ), formerly David Christopher Aldwinckle, born 1965 in the United States, Permanent Resident of Japan from 1996, and naturalized Japanese citizen from 2000.”
Thanks for pointing that out, Jim. I’ll fix the post so that it reflects that. Anyone reading this later will have to infer what the original error was…
what are the things needed to be a citizenship of japan??
