According to this link, there are almost 400,000 in California and almost 300,000 in Hawai'i.

Could Hawaii and California get the next largest japanese population outside of japan like Brazil with 1.6 million or little bit higher?

Most west coast cities for obvious reasons. I have worked in San Francisco, Oakland, and Seattle and they have a lot of Japanese, plus areas with almost exclusively Japanese restaurants and markets.

Seattle?

There are two types of Japanese people in Hawaii. Local Japanese(born in Hawaii) and Japanese Nationals.

I would assume San Fransisco and maybe Seattle. For obvious reasons
