is a Japanese and North American English term used in parts of the world such as South America and North America to specify the children of children born to ethnic Japanese in a new country of residence. The nisei are considered the second generation; grandchildren of the Japanese-born immigrants are called Sansei; and the fourth generation is called yonsei. The children of at least one nisei parent are called Sansei and are usually the first generation of whom a high percentage are mixed race since their parents were usually themselves born and raised in America. The character and uniqueness of the sansei is recognized in its social history. In various countries Although the earliest organized group of Japanese emigrants settled in Mexico in 1897, the four largest populations of Japanese and descendants of Japanese immigrants are in Brazil, the United States, Canada, and Peru. Brazilian Sansei Brazil is home to the largest Japanese population outside Japan, with an estimate of more than 1.5 million of them (including those of mixed-race or mixed-ethnicity), more than that of the 1.2 million in the United States. The Sansei Japanese Brazilians are an important part of that ethnic minority in that nation in South America. American Sansei Most American Sansei were born during the Baby Boom after the end of World War II, but older Sansei who were living in the western United States during the war were forcibly incarcerated with their parents (Nisei) and grandparents (Issei) after Executive Order 9066 was promulgated to exclude everyone of Japanese descent from the West Coast and from Southern Arizona. The Sansei were forceful activists in the redress movement in the 1980s, which resulted in an official apology to the internees. In some senses, the Sansei seem to feel they are caught in a dilemma between their "quiet" Nisei parents and their other identity model of "verbal" Americans. In the United States, a representative Sansei is General Eric Shinseki (born November 28, 1942), the 34th Chief of Staff of the United States Army (1999–2003) and former United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs. He is the first Asian American in US history to be a four-star general, and the first to lead one of the four US military services. Canadian Sansei Within Japanese-Canadian communities across Canada, three distinct subgroups developed, each with different sociocultural referents, generational identity, and wartime experiences.
