This paper investigates the immigration of Japanese people in to the Northern Region of Brazil and the variables that lead to the establishment of agricultural colonies in the State of Pará. It analyses the mobility of agriculture colonies from other regions, with particular attention given to the Tome-Açu (Pará) and the Amapá colonies, where the former colony is considered a successful case and the latter, the opposite. To achieve this, the thesis addresses current immigration theory, the international migration context between Brazil and Japan and national context of Japanese immigration. On the local approach, it discusses questions related to negotiations between the Brazilian Government and Japanese immigration promoting companies that occurred in the Amazon, Pará and Amapá states; In addition the paper covers the public policies aimed at establishing immigrants before and after the Second World War and the difficulties of different Japanese colonies that established in the Northern Region. The research is based on the bibliographical information and interviews with Japanese immigrants. From the data analysis, it was concluded, the planned migration model established in previously selected places by the Japanese representatives on the present Tome-Açu city in the beginning of immigration (1920‘s) and the following investments of private Japanese companies, and of the Japanese Government after Second World War were determining to the establishment of the immigrants in Tome-Açu. On the directioned immigration model (post WWII) on the colonies of Amapá land proceeded without proper planning of agricultural planting and research, hindered the planting and transport of goods. In addition, the health of many immigrants was compromised by endemic diseases in the region. These factors contributed to exodus of the majority of immigrants who searched other alternatives for their survival.

Os Koutakusseis e os ideais do expansionismo japonês na Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-11-30) MUTO, Reiko; ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2713210031909963
The main purpose of this thesis is to analyze the migratory process of the koutakusseis and its relationship with the Japanese expansionist policy. It also approaches the demographic and socioeconomic profile of the koutaku group tha remained in the Brazilian Amazon and the socioeconomic and cultural contributions of these immigrants and their descendants. This research presents the demographic history of a group of Japanese immigrants composed of more than 500 people who settled in Parintins – municipality of Amazonas state – in the 1930s. This case study intends to provide an explanation for the motivation underlying the decision of such group in coming to the Amazon and the causal connection with the political intervention in the geopolitics, marked by xenophobia and institutional racism. It is also focused in explaining the reasons why they failed to establish themselves as an agricultural colony in the state of Amazonas, unlike what happened in Tomé-Açu colony in Pará state. In this process, we adopted the inductive method in the theoretical and empirical interpretations to investigate the facts as well as a theoretical-methodological instrument in interdisciplinary approach. The data analysis concludes that the colonization idealism headed by the politician Tsukasa Uyetsuka, the Kotaro Tuji’s dream of the jute cultivation and the koutakusseis saga are related to the historical context of Japan’s feudal system transition into an economic and territorial connection with the Japanese military expansionism that took place in Manchuria, China. The former may be considered a commercial expansionism, since it was an agricultural colonization enterprise, forested by the spontaneous grating of lands by the Amazonian government, seeking for alternatives to overcome the economic stagnation span after the rubber crisis.
