But Japan remains a powerhouse in game software and design. One of the reasons is that Japan has a thoroughly multinational gaming culture, with deep roots in Japanese anime (animation), US science fiction and fantasy culture, Japanese manga (comics), and the Hong Kong films

Japan is about as multinational as a Mississippi black polock with a third grade education and German heritage.

Not anymore. 2 million Koreans and 1 million Chinese live in Japan these days, and there are growing populations of Filipinos, Vietnamese, and Indians. It's becoming an immigrant society, just like the US and EU, though at a slower rate.
