First generation of Japanese people who immigrated to the Americas
For the given name, see Issei (given name).
The first Japanese immigrants arrived in Brazil aboard the Kassato Maru in 1908.[1] They referred to themselves as issei and became known as Nipo-Brasileiros.
Issei (一世, "first generation") are Japanese immigrants to countries in North America and South America. The term is used mostly by ethnic Japanese. Issei are born in Japan; their children born in the new country are nisei (ni, "two", plus sei, "generation"); and their grandchildren are sansei (san, "three", plus sei, "generation").
The character and uniqueness of the issei is recognized in their social history.[2]
