Just found out one of my ex classmates married a japanese gal

wow that's good for the japanese to implement these type of laws. I suppose my fren should be able to gain japanese citizenship much easier than those long time residents.

Japanese surname registration laws are very strict. You must renounce your birth ethnicity and surname in a solemn ritual, backed by your spouse or at least one of your parent or grandparent being born Japanese. Then, registered with in your prefecture rolls. The ability to speak, read and write Japanese is also a must as it will be gauged. You must swear an oath of loyalty to the Japanese emperor. Japanese citizenship is granted in the name of the emperor on the advice of imperial advisers. Even if you're able and willing to do all of the above, the discretion and judgment of the advisers prevail on a case-by-case basis. There's no such thing as in like US immigration and naturalization laws where you can get lawyers find loopholes to sue the government until it give you citizenship.

Wow i suppose japan is like sg you cannot hold dual citizenship. What about external appearance? If the spouse looks like an ang moh but satisfies all the above criteria does he have an equal or less than equal chance compared to a chinese or korean or some other type of east asian?

I'm not too sure about that if the applicant looks like a westerner or midde easterner or something else. Most of the Koreans and Chinese being there for generations already technically qualified to apply. They look like Japanese and speak Japanese anyway. However, most of them refused to change surnames.

Imagine an ang moh or a negro renouncing their surname and ethnicity and taking up a jap one. That would be so funny and odd. If the japs allow that it would be so ridiculous. It's not so bad for chinese or koreans.
