Houston has an oddly named road in the southeast part of town thanks to this man:

And who could forget about Mr. Tornado? PBS released a documentary about him a couple weeks ago.

Exactly. Life is so much better in Japan now and there's no reason for them to move to the United States. Even the West Coast cities like LA and Seattle have a lower Japanese population compared to the 1980's. Even LA's Little Tokyo is mostly Chinese now.

Exactly. Most Japanese "immigrants" are just expats who want to experience American culture for a few years before moving back home.

There also used to be many living temporarily for business when their economy peaked in the late 1980's.

If Japan didn't have such a strict immigration policy and homogeneous culture, there might be a lot more American expats moving to Japan. That's the only thing stopping me from moving back there, I'm not a Japanese citizen nor married to one, and my Japanese language ability is subpar.

Where I live there are actually some Japanese people who come and want to stay. Although the vast majority of them move back.

I also heard that most Japanese people in Denver moved back to California after the camps.
I'm wondering how big of a Japanese community there is in Denver currently.
