		Arudou Debito (æé“ åºäºº ArudÅ Debito), a naturalized Japanese citizen born in the United States, is a teacher, author and controversial activist.
		Arudou has written a book about a particular incident of discrimination he faced, in which he went with his family and some friends to an onsen (hot spring) in the Hokkaido town of Otaru in 1999.
		Arudou's tactics have been seen by some as unnecessarily confrontational with supporting research that is sometimes poorly substantiated, spurious or exaggerated in its claims.

	Reviews Japanese Only
		Debito Arudou (né David Christopher Aldwinckle) and Saori Oguri both tackle similar issues in their books: racial integration and tolerance in Japan.
		Arudou’s argument that racism is wrong, especially for non-ethic Japanese citizens, is presented clearly: both ethic and non-ethnic Japanese carry the same burdens of citizenship.
		Arudou, of course, thinks that his case is important: “For the first time, even disenfranchised non-native speakers of Japanese could turn the domestic media into a fulcrum, getting the word out so effectively we could influence public policy, even alter the very perception of a ‘foreigner’ in Japan” (Arudou, pp.

		Arudou assumed that when he returned in 2000 as a naturalized Japanese citizen, he would not be refused; but the manager, although accepting that he was Japanese, refused him anyway on the grounds that his foreign appearance could cause existing Japanese customers to assume the onsen was admitting foreigners and take their business elsewhere.
		His detractors argue that Arudou's actions, including suing one bathhouse, Yunohana Onsen, and the City of Otaru, only serve to enhance the image of foreigners as trouble makers in the eyes of the Japanese.
		Arudou's counter argument is that for more than a year he tried all other means, including several direct negotations with the onsens, to get the exclusionary signs down, which left him and two other plaintiffs no other option but to sue.

	Interviews (Arudou Debito)
		Arudou Debito (né David Aldwinckle) is a controversial figure.
		Arudou is perhaps best known for his lawsuit against Yunohana Hot Spring and the Otaru municipal government in Hokkaido on the grounds of "racial discrimination and violation of the UN Convention against Racial Discrimination"—a case that has attracted him worldwide media exposure.
		Arudou holds a B.A. in government from Cornell University and an M.P.I.A. in international relations with a Japan concentration from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).

	Letters
		Arudou and his family should not have been excluded from the onsen in Otaru, but I suspect I am not alone in objecting to the way this unpleasant, but essentially trivial incident has been parlayed into a career opportunity.
		Arudou appears to be a sincere and energetic individual with a flair for public relations.
		Arudou was perhaps right to sue the onsen, but his failure to present a convincing, well-supported case for the supposed urgency of legislation and court judgment against the Japanese Government's official policy is a shame, since the topic is an interesting one that should be addressed in an intelligent manner.

	Arudou Debito - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arudou and two of his friends, Kenneth Sutherland and Olaf Karthaus, then sued.
		Arudou's tactics have been seen by some as unnecessarily confrontational with supporting research that is sometimes inadequately substantiated, spurious or exaggerated in its claims.
		Nevertheless, Arudou created the Blacklist of Japanese Universities [1] in 1997 to raise the issue of discriminatory hiring practices in Japanese universities, and has also written about and linked to other activists dealing with issues such as child custody and divorce.

		Arudou Debito, a naturalised Japanese, has been repeatedly refused entry to his local public hot spring and bathhouse because he looks foreign.
		Describing how he was first refused, Professor Arudou said he arrived at the bathhouse as one of a group of 17, including four families.
		He told Professor Arudou and his Japanese wife that one of their daughters would be allowed in while she was small but not once she grew up.

		I’ve been in contact with Debito for several years, ever since I wrote my undergraduate senior thesis on the perception of westerners in the Japanese media.
		Arudou Debito—formerly David Aldwinckle—naturalized as a Japanese citizen in 2000.
		We picked up Debito at Newark International Airport, bought a dinner of Kennedy Fried Chicken, sandwiches, and ale, and proceeded to spend 10 hours (count ‘em!) talking politics, Japan, lawsuits, travel, and women long into the night.

		At the Tokyo Shigoto Center on June 25, Nick Wood of NUGW Tokyo Nambu University Teachers Branch welcomed NUGW Tokyo Nambu organizer Louis Carlet and activist Debito Arudou to discuss matters of interest to university teachers at the UTU Forum.
		Messrs Arudou and Carlet, in complementary addresses, discussed the falling curve of workers’ job security as courts and the legal system fail to guarantee legal rights of foreign workers and employers reduce the lifetime employment system to temp worker status.
		Arudou documented the cynical ingenuity of employers in finding loopholes to circumvent protection in labor law, and Carlet described the introduction of temp worker status to foreigners and Japanese women, with the condition becoming more and more common among all former regular employees.

	Tokyo Tales: Japan Times interview with Alex Kerr, Dogs and Demons author (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Anyway, the Japan Times has a recent interview with Kerr where he talks about September's election and postal reform (promising), the Aichi Expo (pointless), Hello Kitty (distressing) and Debito Arudou (too combative).
		I fear that his activities might tend to just confirm conservative Japanese in their belief that gaijin are difficult to deal with.
		It's a good point, and he may be right, but I'd like to think that Arudou's directly confrontational methods might eventually bear at least some fruit, even if it's only disabusing Japan-panglossists of their misplaced notions that this place is some kind of postmodern paradise.
