Raleigh's Asian population live in Morrisville, Durham, and Cary primarily. Morrisville is 27% Asian. Most of that is Indian/Subcontinental but there's 3 dozen Japanese-owned businesses with offices in the Raleigh/Durham area most of them in Morrisville. A lot of bio/pharma/tech.
North Carolina State University in Raleigh also hosts the states's NC Japan Center.
"The NC Japan Center serves as a focal point for interaction between Japan and North Carolina, and is a statewide resource intended to assist all citizens, universities, companies, and public and private institutions in relations with Japan."
There are way more than 421 people in Charlotte that are Japanese and I am skeptical of Raleighs numbers too. Charlotte is too diverse....
I mean Japanese people simply don't immigrate to America much because Japan is a first world, developed nation. Their numbers nationwide are rather low and where they're somewhat high, it's usually in big major world class cities like LA, SF, and NYC.
MY guess is just like the majority of all of these cities Asian populations, the Japanese one's is located in the suburbs, but on groups that small the best thing to do is wait until the 2020 numbers honestly.
My guess would have been Denver, too. Quite a few Japanese-A mericans headed to Denver from Camp Amache ( WW2 internment camp) in the mid-1940s, and while some went back to the West Coast, some remained behind in Colorado...
