Usage notes[edit]
Used during Japan’s annexation of Korea (1910 to 1945) to describe Korean Imperial subjects living in Japan who were accused or suspected of criminal acts. The word may be less inflammatory than 不逞鮮人 (futeisenjin, “insubordinate Korean”), as the latter is seen as suggesting that all Korean subjects in Japan were suspicious.
