Overview	"What if you want to go all the way and become a citizen of Japan? Just so you know, in most cases this means giving up your present citizenship. Children born with dual citizenship don’t legally have to give up one or the other, although the Japanese government would like them to do so. At the Immigration Bureau, there are posters of people standing on a globe, cheerfully saying, “Let’s all choose just one citizenship.” If I didn’t have to give up my U.S. citizenship and could just add Japanese to the list, I’d do it in a heartbeat."
