Original Note:
Islam’s growth in Japan is notable but unverified as fastest. Mosques grew from 15 in 1999 to 113 in 2021 (Tanada, Waseda Univ.), with ~200,000 Muslims now. Consul Takoda reported 48,000 Muslims in 2024. Growth is clear, but "fastest-growing" lacks evidence. Sources: https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASR4X5215R2GPTIL002.html https://voi.id/ja/news/422568
