2015, Hattori Miki, Taiwan ni umare sodatsu Tai-Nichi kokusaiji no bairingarizumu [Bilingualism in Taiwanese-Japanese children born and raised in Taiwan], page 184:
- ２つの言葉と文化を持って生まれ育ってきたのだから、「ダブル」と呼ぼうという動きに対しても、「ダブル (double)」は英語では「代役」「替玉」という意味もあるので、「国際人」という呼び名が最も適しているのではないかと片岡（2008:53）は述べている。
- Futatsu no kotoba to bunka o motte umare sodatte-kita no dakara, “daburu” to yobō to iu ugoki ni taishite mo, “daburu (double)” wa eigo de wa “daiyaku” “kaedama” to iu imi mo aru no de, “kokusaijin” to iu yobina ga mottomo tekishiteiru no de wa nai ka to Kataoka (2008:53) wa nobeteiru.
- Since they are raised with two languages and cultures, there is a movement to call such people “double”, but in response Kataoka (2008:53) notes that since the English word “double” can also mean “substitute” or “proxy”, the label “global citizen” is better.
2020, Kawabata Kōhei, Haigai shugi to zainichi Korian [Xenophobia and Japanese Koreans], page 194:

- “If I am pressed to say whether I am Japanese or Korean” the word double was indispensable. But recently, “I avoid descriptions like ‘half’ or ‘double’”.
