Japanese residents in prewar Hong Kong played an important role in promoting Sino-Japanese and Anglo-Japanese political, economic and cultural interaction. Japanese investment in Hong Kong and Japan-Hong Kong bilateral trade strengthened Hong Kong' s position as leading trading port in Asia as well as a business and industrial base in South China. The Japanese also introduced new cultures to Hong Kong. Using Japanese primary sources as the main references, this paper examines the formation of the Japanese community in prewar Hong Kong from historical and social perspectives.
