Questions

How many Chinese-speaking lawyers are there in Japan?
We list 22, in 5 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?
Tokyo, with 15 of the 22.
Is Chinese unusual for lawyers in Japan?
5% of the 432 lawyers we hold in Japan are recorded as working in Chinese. Most of them come from the Japan Federation of Bar Associations' lawyer search, a register that records the languages each provider offers, so the figure reflects who that register covers, not only who speaks what.
