No, Japan does not recognize dual citizenships.

At least that's what they say but there are people with special circumstances with dual citizenships.

For example, Nyororin's son can basically keep both nationalities and although Japanese govt says that people with dual citizenship must decided before 22, many people end up just not reporting and keep both passports.

Anyways, it's not so surprising for people to react negatively in Nyororin's case because most Americans cannot imagine giving up American citizenship to get inferior Japanese citizenship or something like that.

I'm sometimes amazed how little people know about Japan.

Many people around me still think Japanese wear kimono and samurais still exist or something.

Lack of knowledge is a scary thing...
