Questions

How many Portuguese-speaking doctors are there in Japan?
We list 39, in 13 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Nagoya, with 10 of the 39.
Is Portuguese unusual for doctors in Japan?
0% of the 8136 doctors we hold in Japan are recorded as working in Portuguese. Most of them come from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, a register that records the languages each provider offers, so the figure reflects who that register covers, not only who speaks what.
