The BACCF proudly hosted the 2026 Celebration of Japanese Immigration to Brazil, an evening honoring the history, cultural legacy, and enduring friendship between the Japanese and Brazilian communities.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ambassador Junya Nakano for graciously welcoming us and contributing to this memorable occasion.

Our appreciation goes to JBAM – the Japan Business Association of Miami, especially Erich Ahorner and Luke Nakano, for their exceptional partnership. We also thank TAP, represented by Pedro Uchoa, for their continued support, and Sirena Media LLC, represented by Silvia Santilli and Nestor Hidalgo‑Gato, for enriching the evening with their presence.

We acknowledge the Consulate‑General of Brazil in Miami, represented by Consul General Cristiano Berbet, for their ongoing support.

To the Japanese community, thank you for the remarkable legacy you have built.

To the Brazilian community, thank you for preserving this history with pride.
