Many people are probably not aware, but there is a significant Japanese imput in Northern Brazil, more specifically in the state of Pará.

Far across the country, in the north of Brazil, is where we find the town with the third largest Japanese colony in Brazil. The first immigrants arrived in Tomé-Açu (state of Pará) in 1926, after a group of Japanese scientists went to the state to prospect possible areas for agricultural colonies that could help develop the economy with modern farming practices.

In 1929, the "Nipponic Company for Plantations in Brazil" bought lands in Pará, and 189 Japanese families began their journey to colonise the region. The city received the gift of the work of immigrants, and has since become the largest Brazilian producer of black pepper.

Unfortunately, because of their physical appearance, Nipo-Brazilians (and others of Mongoloid extraction) are still seen as foreigners by many Brazilians, despite them being integrated here and fourth generation Brazilian.

True, after São Paulo, its Paraná, Mata Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais and Pará I think. Even in my state, I know some few japanese descendants that came of São Paulo, but they are rare.
