I bet they brought a couple of Japanese words to Brazilian Portuguese too.

Other words are used in management, like in English (kaizen, kaban).
And in games & sports, besides jokenpo, there's also kendama that's sometimes used (bilboque in portuguese? That toy Chaves & Kiko always fight for :). Judogi, sensei, most judo moves are not translated as in English and we use the Japanese version in Portuguese too. Some in anime and tech, like mecha, otaku, manga, anime, mangaka.
And in the Brazilin-Japanese community it's common to switch to a version of Portuguese that mixes some words that were widely used: benjo (bathroom), kusai (smelly), gohan (food, rice), kitanai (dirty), se-no (ready-set). That varies in each region and community, but it's common to switch to use these old-fashion words like benjo, which is how all my family spoke in the countrysde of Sao Paulo, but sounds redneck/wrong if you say that to a Japanese nowadays.
Also, we call soy-sauce "shoyu", which is the japanese for soy.
Because of Japanese immigration, there’s a lot of people in the Southeast with Japanese last names.
