Takao Ozawa v. United States 260 U.S. 178 (1922) was a case in which the United States Supreme Court found Takao Ozawa a Japanese man ineligible for naturalization. In 1922 Takao Ozawa filed for United States citizenship under the Naturalization Act of 1906 which allowed white persons and persons of African descent or African nativity to naturalize. He did not challenge the constitutionality of the racial restrictions. Instead he attempted to have Japanese people classified as white.
