Japanese Uruguayans (Spanish: nipón-uruguayos; Japanese: 日系ウルグアイ人, Nikkei Uruguaijin) are Uruguayan citizens of Japanese descent.
Japanese immigration to Uruguay began in the early 20th century. It was characterized to be small in number and mainly indirect, that is, Japanese immigrant previously had been established in another South American country but later moving to Uruguay, although some came directly from Japan. The immigration wave happened in two periods, the first since the early 20th century until before World War II and the latter since the mid-1950s to 1960s.[2]
