Japan to tighten screening of foreigners of Japanese descent
2005
Overview
The move comes in response to the arrest of 33-year-old Peruvian man Jose Manuel Torres Yake over the killing of a seven-year-old girl in Hiroshima. Torres Yake entered Japan as a Peruvian of Japanese descent under the name Juan Carlos Pizarro Yagi. In addition, the ministry will take such measures as tightening screening of documentation such as birth certificates in order to prevent bogus foreigners of Japanese descent from entering the country. It will also conduct background checks on Peruvians like Torres Yake who are suspected of entering the country under a false name, and deport them if they are found to have forged their identity.
