The majority of field workers imported by sugar growers in Hawaii were from Japan. Following the initial Chinese laborers, Japanese immigrants began arriving in the 1880s, significantly boosting the workforce on sugar plantations. Their arrival led to cultural and demographic changes in Hawaii that still influence the islands today.
