Resumo: From a statistical point of view, Buddhism, Shintoism and Japanese New Religious Movements represent only a small portion of the religious landscape in Brazil. Nevertheless, the subfield is relevant in historical terms and - at least for certain segments Brazilian society - as a religious alternative in a traditionally majority Catholic country. The article starts with an overview of the historical development of Shintoism, Buddhism and Japanese New Religious in Brazil. Based on results of the last national census the second part summarizes the current demographic characteristics of the subfield. The last part reflects on possible organizational and socio-religious constellations that might be responsible for the minority status of the religious traditions in question.
