Nisei Nisei

Nisei - Definition

The Nisei Japanese (二世 pronounced Nee-say, lit. second generation) refer to the children of Issei Japanese emigrants. Usually they were born in the country to which the parents moved, but some may have been born in Japan, and moved as infants. See Nisei Japanese American for Nisei in the US. Their children are Sansei Japanese.

Unlike Chinese people, Japanese tend to regard second- or third-generation overseas Japanese as foreign people.[1] (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/17/international/asia/17ASIA.html?8hpib)
