Wikipedia definition
3. DekasegiDekasegi is a term used in Latin American cultures to refer to ethnic Japanese people who have migrated to Japan, having taken advantage of Japanese citizenship or nisei visa and immigration laws to escape from economic instability in South America. The vast majority are Brazilians, but there is also a large population of Peruvians, as well as far smaller populations of other Latin Americans. The original Japanese word dekasegi (出稼ぎ) roughly translates as "working away from home".
