Summary/Abstract: The present paper discusses the concept of acculturation and the specific problems immigrant children encounter in Japan against the growing and diversifying of immigration population. The author analyzes two cases of immigrant students and their acculturation difficulties in a country whose educational system is equal and accessible for all Japanese children, but which offers little support for immigrants and their unique backgrounds and vulnerabilities.
