ABOUT AFROJAPAN
AfroJapan isn't trying to define who is African enough, Black enough, or Japanese enough. It creates a space where Africa, the African diaspora and Japan discover one another.
Not simply Africans in Japan. Not simply Japanese people interested in Africa. Not simply African culture in Japan. AfroJapan is the people, ideas, businesses, cultures and opportunities connecting Africa and Japan — in both directions.
WHO BELONGS HERE
You might be African, Japanese, African-Japanese, African-American, Afro-British, Afro-Caribbean, part of the wider diaspora, Japanese with a connection to Africa, a business working between both worlds, or simply someone curious about the relationship between the two. The bridge is the common ground.

THE PHILOSOPHY
Not just celebrities. Not just established corporations. Not just influencers — builders. Someone starting a restaurant. Someone launching a fashion label. Someone freelancing as a designer. Someone importing African products. Someone opening a Japanese business in Lagos. Someone building software. Someone making music. Someone creating a career outside the traditional 9-to-5.
