In Japan, religion is something to respect but most people are either Shinto or Buddhist and both aren't such demanding religions like Christianity is. You get a visit to the temple once a year to give donations and pay respects to the Gods, you join in with festivals and adopt ideals of that religion... But... Its not like there is a Buddhist or Shinto Bible in every home they preach and recall every day like some western families. So Christianity in Japan has had to adapt itself into a culture like this in a modest way.

There are incidents as you get the odd Christain Preacher who has to be one of those "I must save all the souls" type. And to be honest... In a non-Christian country I mean what do you expect. Japan once was very anti-Christian so most are sensible enough to know better and the church in Japan has had to adapt to learn to live in a country that isn't that religiously obsessed.

So yes, he is a Christian, he visits church, his in the choir it seems. But thats it, its just background details. Its not going to be a big part of the way he thinks or part of his life in total, its just *there*. You may see a bible in his home and a cross, but he isn't going around trying to convert everyone.
