The Japanese government, like France, does not track ethnicity stats. When you see a number like this it means Japanese citizens, not “ethnic Japanese”.

(Ethnic Japanese are nearly the same people as Koreans too, but that doesn’t stop them being racist against each other, so it is all kind of made up.)

There’s also very many more immigrants in Tokyo these days.

I didn't say "Japanese citizens", I said "Yamato Japanese", the ethnic group.

Yes, but if that number came from the government, it means Japanese citizens even if your source thought it meant something else.
