History
The first large group of Japanese settlers moved to Colombia in 1927 to work as farmers. Most of them stayed there. When World War II began, most were discriminated and among them were imprisoned to the United States. After the war ended, Japanese refugees were warmly invited. In the recent decades, many Japanese settlers lived after they were called to populate unpopulated areas of the nation, while others lived as businessmen to invest there.
