>short answer
Brazilians – by a wide margin.
Why Brazil tops the list
Size of the original diaspora
• Brazil received the largest wave of Japanese emigration in the early-to-mid 20th century.
• Today an estimated 1.5–2 million people in Brazil have Japanese ancestry (the world’s biggest Nikkei population).
“Return” migration policies
• In 1990 Japan introduced the “long-term resident” visa (定住者) for 2nd- and 3rd-generation descendants of Japanese emigrants.
• This automatically applied to many Brazilian Nikkei, making work/residence in Japan much easier than for non-descendants.

The numbers
Latest Ministry of Justice figures (2023):
• Brazilians: ≈ 210 000
• Peruvians: ≈ 49 000
• Colombians: ≈ 12 000
• Bolivians: ≈ 7 000
• All other Latin American nationalities combined: < 10 000
So a random Latin American you meet in Japan is roughly four times more likely to be Brazilian than all other Latin American nationalities combined.
Cultural visibility
• Brazilian festivals (e.g., in Oizumi, Nagoya, Hamamatsu), capoeira groups, samba parades, and Brazilian food products are common sights in areas with auto-parts and electronics factories.
Bottom line
Historical migration ties, preferential visa rules for descendants, and established communities make Brazil by far the most likely Latin-American nationality you’ll encounter living in Japan, with Peruvians a distant second.
