An Asian Brazilian is a Brazilian citizen of full or partial Asian ancestry who remains culturally connected to Asia or an Asian-born person permanently residing in Brazil. Brazil received many immigrants from Asia mainly from the Middle East and East Asia. The first Asian immigrants to arrive in Brazil were a small number of Chinese people (3000) during the colonial period as coolie slaves.
