As of the 2000 U.S. Census, 5,500 people of Japanese descent lived in the city of Chicago, and 17,500 people of Japanese descent lived in Chicago suburbs such as Arlington Heights, Evanston, Hoffman Estates, Lincolnwood, and Skokie. Most Japanese within the City of Chicago live in lakefront areas in the North Side, including Edgewater, Lake View, Near North Side, Uptown, and West Ridge.

^Well those of Japanese descent and those that are foreign-born are two different metrics. The ethnic Japanese population in the U.S. is much larger than those that were born in Japan because the Japanese have been in the U.S. for a very long time (migration started as early as the late 1800s) -- so I'd say that it is plausible.
