Her father was a dictator who dissolved congress, sent out death squads, and implemented a eugenics campaign in which indigenous women were sterilized. He spent the last years of his life in prison for human rights abuses, but was pardoned by multiple presidents and then on his death he was given a state funeral. *SIGH*
People always have nostalgia for dictators so people vote for their progenitors. See Italy with Meloni being the granddaughter of Mussolini, and Philippines with Marcos family being back in power after twenty years of pillaging the country.
She's Peruvian-born, so she's Peruvian. That's how civic citizenship works in the Americas, at least for now. On another note, Japan never was fond of migration, but did encourage migration to south America and particularly Brazil for some reason.

There has been a lot of Japanese immigration to Peru in the past. Probably more than anywhere else save maybe for Hawaii and Brazil.

It was a prophecy that Brazilian Ju Jitsu become a thing.

Her father, of Japanese decent, was a previous president of Peru. He had to flee the country when he lost power to avoid prison.
