A foreign-born Japanese (日本国籍取得者, nihon kokuseki shutokusha?, literally "person who has acquired Japanese citizenship") is a Japanese person of foreign descent or heritage, who was born outside Japan and later acquired Japanese citizenship. This category encompasses persons of both Japanese and non-Japanese descent. The former subcategory is considered because of intricacies of national and international laws regarding the citizenship of newborn persons.
