      I read it as people with family history in Japan, but living in Brazil and wanting to move to Japan.

      I’m guessing that they mean extending access to Japanese citizenship to descendants of Japanese expats abroad. Brazil in particular had a substantial wave of Japanese settlers in the early 1900s.

        This. I could in theory get japanese citizenship but only if my grandpa had registered my mother when she was born, and she had registered me. But if you miss that, no more chances

        South America in general. Peru even had a president named Fujimori not that long ago.
