are Canadian citizens of Japanese ancestry. Japanese Canadians are mostly concentrated on the west coast of Canada, especially in and around Vancouver. In 2006, there were 98,905 Japanese Canadians throughout Canada (42,435 of whom are of mixed heritage).〔(2006 Census of Canada: Topic-based tabulations )〕 == Generations == The term Nikkei (日系) was coined by sociologists and encompasses all of the world's Japanese immigrants across generations. Japanese descendents living overseas have special names for each of their generations. These are formed by combining one of the Japanese numerals with the Japanese word for generation (''sei'' 世): For example, for Japanese living in Canada: *Issei (一世) - The first generation of immigrants, born in Japan before moving to Canada. *Nisei (二世) - The second generation, born in Canada to Issei parents not born in Canada. *Sansei (三世) - The third generation, born in Canada to Nisei parents born in Canada. *Yonsei (四世) - The fourth generation, born in Canada to Sansei parents born in Canada. *Gosei (五世) - The fifth generation, born in Canada to Yonsei parents born in Canada. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Japanese Canadians」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
