Citizenship?

[edit]

The article erroneously states Krolicki has both American and Japanese passports. This can't be the case because Japan does not allow dual citizenship. An investigation is required to figure his citizenship and how that adjusts we list his nationality on Wikipedia. Though the protocol is to list nationality based on place of birth if a player has yet to appear for a national team, if nationality is surrendered, their listed nationality must reflect their singular citizenship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.228.108.101 (talk) 19:16, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit 7/23/19 3:32: Posting this from an article concerning Japanese nationality as its relevant in this situation (Krolicki is 23) —

″There are still some ways in which a person may have dual citizenship of Japan and another country, including:

- They had dual citizenship prior to January 1, 1985, when the Nationality Law was enacted - They acquire multiple citizenships at birth, such as being born to a non-Japanese citizen parent and acquiring that parent's citizenship as a result of that country's laws or by being born in a jus soli country. However, they must choose one citizenship/nationality before the age of 22 or within two years if the second citizenship is acquired after the age of 20, or they may lose their Japanese nationality (see "Loss of citizenship" above),[12] though this is not enforced.

- The Japanese Ministry of Justice refuses to recognize citizenship of North Korea.[14]″
