context_page_description: Indians in Japan consist of migrants from India to Japan and their descendants. As of 2014, there were 28,047 Indian nationals living in Japan. Roughly 60% consist of expatriate IT professionals and their families.
context_section_description: Indians who send their children to school in Japan generally select English-medium schools. The first Indian-specific school was established in 2004 in Tokyo's Koto ward at the initiative of some of the old trading families based in Tokyo and Yokohama. The school's name is IISJ which stands for India International School in Japan. The Global Indian International School, a Singapore-based school, has operated a branch in Tokyo since 2006, and plans to open another in Yokohama in 2008. They follow the Indian Central Board of Secondary Education curriculum. The schools are popular not just among Indian expatriates, but among some Japanese as well, due to a reputation for rigour in mathematics education. Other migrants leave their children behind in their native states, either with grandparents or at the boarding schools, in order to avoid interrupting their education.
  Jeevarani "Rani Sanku" Angelina, established the Little Angels International School, which caters to Japanese students.
