NikkeiWest was established in 1992 for the estimated 120,000 (2000 census figures) English-speaking Japanese American community of Northern California. NikkeiWest was created so Nikkei readers can be informed of current events, news, sports, and articles of interest that are directly related to their Japanese American culture and heritage. Because mainstream news often chooses not to print ethnic news, we try and provide as much coverage as allowable.
