Question: Many loanwords in Hawaiian Pidgin (or Hawaiian Creole English) derive from the Japanese language, the linguistic influences of the Japanese in Hawaii, began with the first immigrants from Japan in what year?
Context: Hawaiian Pidgin English, Hawaiian Creole English, HCE, or locally known as simply Pidgin, is a creole language based in part on English, spoken by many residents of Hawaii.  Although English and Hawaiian are the co-official languages of the state of Hawaii, Hawaiian Pidgin is used by many Hawaii residents in everyday casual conversation and is often used in advertising targeted toward locals in Hawaii.  In the Hawaiian language, Hawaiian Creole English is called "ʻ ōlelo paʻ i ʻ ai", which literally means "pounding-taro language". Torres Strait Creole, also "Torres Strait Pidgin, Yumplatok, Torres Strait Brokan/Broken, Cape York Creole, Lockhart Creole, Papuan Pidgin English, Broken English, Brokan/Broken, Blaikman, Big Thap") is an English-based creole language spoken on several Torres Strait Islands (Queensland, Australia), Northern Cape York and South-Western Coastal Papua.  It has approximately 25,000 mother-tongue and bi/tri-lingual speakers, as well as several second/third-language speakers.  It is widely used as a language of trade and commerce.  It has six main dialects: Papuan, Western-Central, TI, Malay, Eastern, and Cape York.  Its main characteristics show that it is a Pacific Pidgin, but the future in X [i] go VERB aligns it with Atlantic Creoles.  Related languages are Pijin of the Solomon Islands, Tok Pisin of Papua New Guinea, and Bislama of Vanuatu.  The other creoles of Australia (such as Roper River Kriol and Australian Kriol language) are more distantly related, being descendants of the Pidgin English that developed in and around Sydney after the colonisation of Australia. Pidgin Hawaiian was a pidgin spoken in Hawaii, which drew most of its vocabulary from the Hawaiian language and could have been influenced by other pidgins of the Pacific region.  Emerging in the mid-nineteenth century, it was spoken mainly by immigrants to Hawaii, and died out in the early twentieth century.  Like all pidgins, Pidgin Hawaiian was a fairly rudimentary language, used for immediate communicative purposes by people of diverse language backgrounds, but who were mainly from East and South-East Asia.  As Hawaiian was the main language of the islands in the nineteenth century, most words came from this Polynesian language, though many others contributed to its formation.  In the 1890s and afterwards, the increased spread of English favoured the use of an English-based pidgin instead, which, once nativized as the first language of children, developed into a creole which today is misleadingly called Hawaiian 'Pidgin'.  This variety has also been influenced by Pidgin Hawaiian; for example in its use of the grammatical marker "pau". Da kine is an expression in Hawaiian Pidgin (Hawaii Creole English), probably derived from "the kind", that usually functions grammatically as a placeholder name (compare to English "whatsit" and "whatchamacallit"), but can also take the role of a verb, adjective, or adverb.  Unlike other placeholder names in English, however, which usually refer specifically to a device ("gizmo" or "widget"), person ("so-and-so"), or place ("Anytown, USA"), "da kine" is general in usage and could refer to anything from a person to an abstract concept.  It can be used to refer to something nonspecific, or given enough context (especially when used in conversation between native speakers of the dialect) to something very specific.  As such, it appears to be unique among English dialects, at least in its centrality to everyday speech. Kumu Kahua Theatre is a community theater located in the city of Honolulu on the island of Oahu in the state of Hawaii.  Kumu Kahua Theatre is best known for producing plays by local Hawaii-based playwrights, especially plays featuring themes and stories of the people of Hawaii.  (Their motto, as seen on their T-shirts and Web site, is "Plays about life in Hawaiʻ i. Plays by Hawaiʻ i's playwrights.  Plays for Hawaiʻ i's people.")  Therefore, actors are often featured utilizing their natural local dialect or respective ethnic accent, and many plays have incorporated or are solely written in Hawaiian Creole English, an English dialect commonly known in the Hawaiian islands as "pidgin".  Their productions are also known for involving local actors, designers, directors, and theater technicians.  Appropriately the Hawaiian language words "kumu kahua" translate to "original stage."  People familiar with the theatre often call it affectionately by its nickname of "Kumu". The Japanese in Hawaii (simply Japanese or “Local Japanese”, rarely Kepanī) are the second largest ethnic group in Hawaii.  At their height in 1920, they constituted 43% of Hawaii's population.  They now number about 16.7% of the islands' population, according to the 2000 U.S. Census.  The U.S. Census separately categorizes mixed-race individuals, so the proportion of people with some Japanese ancestry is likely much larger. Pidgin to Da Max (full title: Peppo's Pidgin to Da Max) is a humorous illustrated dictionary of Hawaiian Pidgin words and phrases by Douglas Simonson, Pat Sasaki, and Ken Sakata.  With the definitions of most of the words and phrases also given in Pidgin, the book is not clearly intended to be used as a Pidgin-English dictionary, although a reader unfamiliar with the dialect would likely understand most of the entries from context and the illustrations.  Rather, the book is intended to be a humorous introspective for Hawaiians about the language they speak on a day-to-day basis.  As such, it is a relatively popular book in Hawaii, and sold 25,000 copies in its first month in print. Many loanwords in Hawaiian Pidgin (or Hawaiian Creole English) derive from the Japanese language.  The linguistic influences of the Japanese in Hawaii began with the first immigrants from Japan in 1868 and continues with the large Japanese American population in Hawaiʻ i today. Bu Laʻia (born as Shawn Kaui Hill in Waimanalo, Hawaii) is a Hawaiian comedian known for his use of Hawaiian pidgin and for wearing a large "afro style" wig and blacking out one of his front teeth while performing.  He starred in a cable television show in the early 1990s and released two comic musical albums entitled "False Crack???"  and "Hawaii's Most Wanted."  He also attained fame—or notoriety—when he ran for governor of Hawaiʻi in 1994 (when he was too young to legally do so) and again as a member of the Natural Law Party in 2002.  He also attracted attention when he was arrested for riding a skateboard at Honolulu International Airport.  Bu is pidgin for "Bull".  The name "Bu Laʻia" is a homophone of "Bull Liar", a phrase meaning "an outrageous liar".  His name is reminiscent of the character created by Hawaiian comedian Kent Bowman, “K.K. Kaumanua” (K.K. Cow–Manure) famous for his "Pidgin English Children's Stories," although Bowman's character uses the pidgin English of an earlier generation. Nigerian Pidgin is an English-based pidgin and creole language spoken as a "lingua franca" across Nigeria.  The language is commonly referred to as ""Pidgin"" or "Broken" (pronounced ""Brokin"").  It is distinguished from other creole languages since most speakers are not true native speakers although many children learn it at an early age.  It can be spoken as a pidgin, a creole, or a decreolised acrolect by different speakers, who may switch between these forms depending on the social setting.
