Did Nazi Germany consider the Japanese Aryan, or was that just a myth? In Nazi racial ideology, Aryan referred primarily to Germanic and Nordic Europeans. East Asians, including the Japanese, were not considered part of that racial category.

In the early 1930s, Japanese citizens in Germany even faced discrimination, including harassment by SA members and negative portrayals in the press. But this began to change as Adolf Hitler moved closer to an alliance with Japan.

By the mid-1930s, Nazi Germany started treating the Japanese as privileged exceptions. Anti-Japanese rhetoric was toned down, and practical policies such as visas, education, and mixed marriages were handled carefully to avoid diplomatic conflict.

The term Honorary Aryans did appear in Nazi-era discourse. But it was never a true racial classification. It was a political label designed to justify cooperation between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.

In reality, Nazi ideology still placed Europeans at the top of its racial hierarchy. The Japanese were respected as allies but not considered equals within that system.

So no, the Nazis did not truly see the Japanese as Aryan the label was diplomacy, not belief.
