Can you live in America after getting Japanese naturalization?
I am born in America from American parents who have US Citizenship, However I eventually want to become a Naturalized Japanese Citizen. If I got Japanese Citizenship, And I wanted to come back to America, how long could I be in the US for? Also, Would I be giving up my US Citizenship? Would that mean I couldn't be in America at all?

Since Japan does not permit dual citizenship, you would have to renounce your US citizenship when you naturalize as a citizen of Japan. Once you do so, you become like any other Japanese and have no legal right to live or work in the US. You would have to apply for a visitor's visa, which would allow you to stay in the US for up to 6 months at a time.

You probably would have to renouce your US citizenship you then could only come to the USA as a tourist with a visa ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Naturalization

That's correct. In real life, however, Uncle Sam doesn't really like people who show him the finger. Therefore, you will most likely not be able to get a B2 in this lifetime, based on the (wrong) assumption that you have immediate family in the US and could apply for AOS. That's hogwash, of course, but reason enough to deny you.

You would definitely have to give up your US citizenship and thus cannot be allowed in the US.US Customs will also give you a VERY difficult time if you managed to gain Japanese citizenship and traveled to the US visa free.
