From the mid-seventies, Bangladeshis migrated from their homeland to different countries of the world, leaving their families and loved ones in search of a living. Bangladeshis arrived in Japan in the 1980s in significant numbers. Upon arriving, the expatriates engaged in various social and cultural activities. Although various social, cultural, and regional organizations were formed at that time, most organizations disappeared due to a lack of specific events and strong leadership. Khulna is a vast city but the most neglected region of the country. The area is home to the world-famous poet Rabindranath Tagore's Kuthi Bari, the emperor of Baul, Lalon Shah, and the father of modern Bengali poetry, Michael Madhusudan Dutta. The region also boasts one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Sundarbans, known for the Royal Bengal Tiger. Despite being the birthplace of the Royal Bengal Tiger, Khulna remains relatively unknown to the outside world. In this context, it is the duty and responsibility of the Japanese expatriates from the Khulna region to bring the features and traditions of this great region to Japan and the rest of the world. It is regrettable that even though South Bengal was severely damaged by Cyclone SIDR in 2007, the Japanese expatriates from the greater Khulna region could not unite to perform any relief efforts. However, this event sparked a desire among the Japanese expatriates from the Khulna region to unite. Despite being warm and peace-loving, and generally avoiding factionalism and confrontation, the expatriates began to come together. Some entrepreneurs took the initiative to unite the Japanese expatriates from Khulna, realizing that inaction would cause the region to fall further behind. On November 2, 2008, an open general meeting was held in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, to form a non-political and non-profit organization for expatriates from the greater Khulna region. With the public and formal announcement at the meeting, the 'Greater Khulna Community Japan' was established.
