Foreign expatriates in wartime Japan

[MurocFlight]

I would like to know about any of the foreign expatriate communities in Japan in 1940-45, as there were small White Russian and Turkish communities there not to mention the Axis diplomatic-military personnel stationed in Japan. What about any Westerners who chose to stay in wartime Japan? I am sure they may have had difficulties and also being interned.
I even read a titbit that some White Russians were even cast as American soldiers in wartime Japanese propaganda films even though they did not speak English.

German businessmen were relatively free but after the air raid began they refuged from cities to Karuizawa, lake Kawaguchi and around Rokko Mountain, just as othewr foreigners were detained. In a few last months of WWII Germans were also detained.

August Lohmeiyer was a Konigsmarine sailor (served in a river gunboat Tsingtao) in WWI, and opened a wurst shop and restaurant (recently closed). He married with a Japanese and his sons managed them until 2000, and now a Japanese meat wholesaler merged Lohmeiyer's business into their own ones under the name of famous Lohmeiyer. August was living in Hakone area near the end of war.
