This study was done in order to examine the changes in the ethnic identity of Korean residents in Japan. The survey was done once to target Korean residents in Japan in Osaka in 2000 and was compared with those carried out once again in the same place in 2015.
As a result, compared with the 2000 fiscal year, South Korea"s culture and customs have been changed little by little to adapt to Japanese society. Here I want to note that negative responses to the question of taking care of the ethnic lifestyle were found to increase significantly as compared with the survey of the 2000s. Will it be concluded that the ethnic identity of Korean-residents in Japan keep on fading? Two points can beconsidered. One is a household change of Korean residents in Japanese society. The other is the relationship of the host society of the Japanese society and the society of Korean residents in Japan.
At the moment, the author thinks there is a need to consider the results of this study seriously from the aspect of diversification of the ethnic identity of Korean residents in Japan.
