Oki Phrase of the Day / Oki Fun Fact of the Day:
We love the diversity of the Ryukyuan diaspora and the many places we call home. Did you know that Toyama Kyuzo, from Kin Town, is known as the “father of Okinawan emigration” and is buried in the Mililani Memorial Park & Mortuary on Oʻahu? He led the first immigrants, who landed in Hawai'i on January 8, 1900. This began the migration to Hawaiʻi, the Philippines, and North, South, and Central America.
Currently, the largest Ryukyuan diaspora resides in Japan, followed closely by Brazil. The United States and Peru also have sizeable populations. But even places like Bolivia, Taiwan, Palau, Philippines, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador, Paraguay, Cuba, Micronesia, and New Caledonia have a decent number of Ryukyuans residing there from different parts of Ryukyuan migration history.
