Shizuoka, Shizuoka
Cities and prefectures with the most Brazilians in Japan are: [[Hamamatsu]], [[Aichi]], [[Shizuoka, Shizuoka|Shizuoka]], [[Kanagawa]], [[Saitama, Saitama|Saitama]], and [[Gunma]]. Brazilians in Japan are usually educated. However, they are employed in the Japanese automotive and electronics factories. Most Brazilians go to Japan attracted by the recruiting agencies (legal or illegal) in conjunction with the factories. Many Brazilians are subjected to hours of exhausting work, earning a small salary by Japanese standards. Nevertheless, in 2002, Brazilians living in Japan sent US$2.5 billion to Brazil.
