By Japanese laws, adult persons generally cannot hold both foreign citizenship and Japanese citizenship ( Dual Nationality ):
Many who naturalize as Japanese also adopt a Japanese Name , although this is not required. No law forbids a foreign-born Japanese to be elected as a member of Diet (as Marutei Tsurunen in fact became one), thus in theory they may become the Prime Minister Of Japan . Probably because of the difficulty of gaining citizenship and because of cultural difference, foreign-born Japanese people account for a very small percentage of the demography in Japan. Unlike some countries where people born natively are automatically given a citizenship, many who are born and live in Japan permanently, particularly Korean and Chinese , tend to maintain their citizenship. There has been a constant discussion among the government and lawmakers whether to give them some status similar to that of a Permanent Resident in the United States .
