*Up until 2011, the figures included the numbers of residents from Taiwan. From 2012 onwards, the figures exclude those who were issued with residence cards and special permanent resident certificates with "Taiwan" listed in the "nationality/region" box.
Figures until 2011 represent the sum of the number of alien registrations who stayed in Japan with the status of residence eligible for mid- to long-term residents. Figures from 2012 onwards represent the number of foreign residents, adding together mid- to long-term residents and special permanent residents.
