The Atomic Bomb Survivors Relief Law defines "hibakusha" as people who fall into one of the following categories: within a few kilometers of the hypocenters of the bombs; within 2 km of the hypocenters within two weeks of the bombings; exposed to radiation from fallout; or not yet born but carried by pregnant women in any of these categories.
, 201,779 "hibakusha" were recognized by the Japanese government, most living in Japan.
The government of Japan recognizes about 1% of these as having illnesses caused by radiation.
"Hibakusha" are entitled to government support.
They receive a certain amount of allowance per month.
About 1%, certified as suffering from bomb-related diseases, receive a special medical allowance.
The memorials in Hiroshima and Nagasaki contain lists of the names of the "hibakusha" who are known to have died since the bombings.
Updated annually on the anniversaries of the bombings, the memorials record the names of almost 450,000 "hibakusha"; 286,818 in Hiroshima and 162,083 in Nagasaki. 
The Hiroshima Maidens are a group of 25 Japanese women who were young when they were seriously disfigured as a result of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on the morning of August 6, 1945.
Keloid scars marred their faces and many of their hands were bent into claw-like positions.
These women, as well as the other citizens affected by the A-bomb, were referred to as hibakusha, meaning "explosion-affected people".
The more specific nickname for the group of women – the Hiroshima Maidens – caught on when the women were brought to The Mount Sinai Hospital, New York in the United States to undergo multiple reconstructive surgeries.
This highly publicized turn of events was largely the work of "Saturday Review" editor Norman Cousins, an outspoken advocate of nuclear disarmament.
One of these survivors, Miyoko Matsubara, has said:, exactly 235,569 living hibakusha were certified by the Japanese government, with an average age of 75.92. 
Shuntaro Hida (born 1917 in Hiroshima, Japan) is a Japanese physician who was an eyewitness to the dropping of the "Little Boy" Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima by the Enola Gay on 6 August 1945.
He treated survivors as a medical doctor and wrote about the effects of radiation on the human body.
The night before the bomb was dropped 28 year old Dr. Hida left the Hiroshima Military Hospital where he was stationed as an army medical officer to attend to a sick child in the village of Hesaka.
He was therefore approximately 6 kilometers from ground zero when the bomb was dropped and he looked up and saw the Boeing B-29 Superfortress aircraft which he described as appearing like a 'tiny silver drop'.
He then felt the heat and blast from the explosion and saw the mushroom cloud over the city.
As a medical doctor he treated the wounded and saw the short and long term effects of radiation on the human body.
After the war he continued to treat atomic bomb survivors (known as Hibakusha) for many years and he became the Director of the Hibakusha Counselling Centre.
He also sought compensation from the United States government and advocated the abolition of nuclear weapons.
In 2005 he was interviewed for the BBC drama documentary ' and his experiences were re-enacted in a dramatic reconstruction of events.
He was also interviewed for the documentary ' in 2006.
Shuntaro Hida appears in the documentary Atomic Wounds by Journeyman Pictures.
"At 89, Doctor Hida, a survivor of the 1945 atomic bomb at Hiroshima, continues to care for some of the other quarter of a million survivors.
"Atomic Wounds" retraces his dedicated journey and highlights how the terrible danger of radiation was concealed by successive American administrations in the 50's - 70's so that nuclear power could be freely developed, with no concern for public health."
The Overseas Hibakusha Case, SCOJ 2005 No.1977, was a landmark case of the Supreme Court of Japan.
The Court found that the government's refusal to provide health-care benefits to hibakusha living abroad was illegal.
The plaintiffs were 40 South Koreans who were exposed to radiation in the 1945 U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
It was the first time the Court declared a government order illegal and upheld a ruling mandating the payment of damages. 
The surviving victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are called , a Japanese word that literally translates as "explosion-affected people" and is used to refer to people who were exposed to radiation from the bombings.
