Hoshi Sato, 2154

Hoshi Sato, a Japanese female

The term Japanese refers to anything originating from the nation-state or location of Japan on Earth, including its people and the Japanese language.

During the Second World War, in which the United States of America was at war with Japan, Japanese-Americans were detained in internment camps, such as Manzanar, for "precautionary measures" due to the United States government's perception of them as a potential threat to its security. (ENT: "Detained")

Hoshi Sato and Keiko Ishikawa were also both of Japanese heritage; the former's father and the latter's grandmother both lived in Japan during their lifetimes. Sato herself was born in Kyoto, Japan. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II" personnel record; DS9: "Emissary")

Although they were both born in California, Buck Bokai and Hikaru Sulu's ancestors had their roots in Japan. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; DS9: "If Wishes Were Horses")

A Human-occupied planet in the Delta Quadrant had many Japanese among its population of over a hundred thousand. (VOY: "The 37's")

Before his racquetball match with Julian Bashir in 2370, Keiko O'Brien tied a silk handkerchief, medieval Japanese design, scented with perfume around her husband's head. (DS9: "Rivals")

Regarding his diagnosis of Irumodic Syndrome in 2401, Jack Crusher remarked, "I can either wallow in self-pity, or I can be like those Japanese teacups, which get put back together with melted gold. Or in my case bourbon." (PIC: "The Bounty")

In the script for Star Trek: First Contact, Zefram Cochrane asks Beverly Crusher if her medical tricorder is Japanese, which she hesitatingly affirms. [1]
