I remember reading somewhere that if you were born before a certain year, Japan would automatically assume that you relinquished your other citizenship.

I have dozens of Japanese Canadian friends (in their late 20's and 30's) who have both a Japanese and Canadian passport and they have no problems leaving and entering Japan. Some of them even got caught but they simply received a slap on the wrist before they were able to walk away with both passports.
