| Research Abstract |
We have advanced our researches in various aspects of the ways of life of Africans living or staying in Japan. As a result of three years'researches, we resulted in generating the precious findings in this field. First of all, we focused in Nigerians and Ghana people who are the largest and second largest number of populations formally registered in the nation state of Japan,. As for the Nigerians in Japan, Matsumoto and Kawada carried out detailed researches on their daily lives and published so many articles abut Nigerians especially gathering at Tbkyo area. (conf.

By means of these conclusions and generalizations of our cooperative researches, we could find out the compulsory situations of Africans in Japan that they could not help receiving a few chances of getting jobs of lower class and that at the same time, they tried to tide over the difficulties by managing to create social devices and cooperative networks in Japan. Our researches clearly showed that Africans living or staying in Japan are not simply passive existence receiving the pejorative sights from the majority people, Japanese, but positive existence spreading the world-wide networks by themselves.
