Here's a fascinating article:

"The first documentation of Japanese people crossing the Pacific Ocean has been discovered by researchers amongst the Inquisition records in the General Archives of the Nation in Mexico. Three names were found in the document, not written in Japanese but with the word “xapon” (Japan) written after their names."
I wonder if we'll start finding Japanese DNA signatures among the people of Mexico, now that we know to look for it.
