Many Japanese who move to the U.S. do so for work or study engagements and for other short-term commitments. According to Dr. Yuki Takatori, a professor at Georgia State University, it may be commonplace for these visiting Japanese to "stick together" and not interact much with the "native" community. On the other hand, based on 2000 Census data, those born in Japan have not concentrated in any one area of the Atlanta region. The largest concentrations of Japanese are found in north Fulton and southwestern Fayette.
