The word literally translates as "explosion-affected people" and is used, often derogatorily, to refer to people who were exposed to [[ionizing radiation|radiation]] from the bombings. ==Official recognition== The Atomic Bomb Survivors Relief Law defines ''hibakusha'' as people who fall into one or more of the following categories: within a few kilometers of the [[hypocenter]]s of the bombs; within 2&nbsp;km of the hypocenters within two weeks of the bombings; exposed to radiation from [[Nuclear fallout|fallout]]; or not yet born but carried by pregnant women in any of these categories.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.pref.nagasaki.jp/gentai/zaigai/e/survivor.html |title=Overseas Atomic Bomb Survivors Support Program |publisher=Atomic Bomb Survivors Affairs Division Health And Welfare Department Nagasaki prefectural Government |accessdate=2007-08-25}}</ref> The Japanese government has recognized about 650,000 people as ''hibakusha''. {{As of|2016|alt=As of March 31, 2016}}, 174,080 are still alive, mostly in Japan.<ref>{{cite news| url= http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/08/09/national/nagasaki-mayor-urges-world-use-collective-wisdom-abolish-nuclear-weapons/ | title= Nagasaki mayor urges world to use collective wisdom to abolish nuclear arms |last= |first= | date= August 9, 2016 | work= [[The Japan Times]] |accessdate= 2016-08-09}}</ref> The government of Japan recognizes about 1% of these as having illnesses caused by radiation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/ed20070815a2.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011123702/http://search.japantimes.co.jp:80/cgi-bin/ed20070815a2.html |dead-url=yes |archive-date=2007-10-11 |title=Relief for A-bomb victims |date=2007-08-15 |work=[[The Japan Times]] |accessdate=2007-10-02 }}</ref> ''Hibakusha'' are entitled to government support.

During the 1970s, non-Japanese hibakusha who suffered from those atomic attacks began to demand the right for free medical care and the right to stay in Japan for that purpose. In 1978 the Japanese Supreme Court ruled that such persons were entitled to free medical care while staying in Japan.<ref>[http://aad.archives.gov/aad/createpdf?rid=92137&dt=2694&dl=2009 US diplomatic cable reporting the ruling]</ref><ref>[http://www.hiroshimapeacemedia.jp/?p=23426 My Life: Interview with former Hiroshima Mayor Takashi Hiraoka], Part 10, ''Chugoku Shimbun''</ref> ===Korean survivors=== During the war, Japan brought many Korean conscripts to both Hiroshima and Nagasaki to work as slaves. According to recent estimates, about 20,000 Koreans were killed in Hiroshima and about 2,000 died in Nagasaki. It is estimated that one in seven of the Hiroshima victims was of Korean ancestry.<ref name="ModernJapan"> {{cite book | author=Mikiso Hane | title=Modern Japan: A Historical Survey | publisher= Westview Press | year=2001 |isbn=0-8133-3756-9 }}</ref> For many years, Koreans had a difficult time fighting for recognition as atomic bomb victims and were denied health benefits.

May 9, 2008.</ref> ===Japanese American survivors=== It was a common practice before the war for American [[Issei]], or first-generation immigrants, to send their children on extended trips to Japan to study or visit relatives. More Japanese immigrated to the U.S. from Hiroshima than from any other prefecture, and Nagasaki also sent a high number of immigrants to Hawai'i and the mainland. There was, therefore, a sizable population of American-born [[Nisei]] and [[Kibei]] living in their parents' hometowns of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the time of the atomic bombings. The actual number of [[Japanese American]]s affected by the bombings is unknown — although estimates put approximately 11,000 in Hiroshima city alone — but some 3,000 of them are known to have survived and returned to the U.S. after the war.<ref name=Wake>Wake, Naoko. "[http://encyclopedia.densho.org/Japanese%20American%20Hibakusha/ Japanese American Hibakusha]," ''Densho Encyclopedia''. Retrieved Aug 5, 2014.</ref> A second group of ''hibakusha'' counted among Japanese American survivors are those who came to the U.S. in a later wave of Japanese immigration during the 1950s and 1960s. Most in this group were born in Japan and migrated to the U.S. in search of educational and work opportunities that were scarce in post-war Japan. Many were "war brides," or Japanese women who had married American men related to the U.S. military's occupation of Japan.<ref name=Wake/> As of 2014, there are about 1,000 recorded Japanese American ''hibakusha'' living in the United States. They receive monetary support from the Japanese government and biannual medical checkups with Hiroshima and Nagasaki doctors familiar with the particular concerns of atomic bomb survivors.
