What is the population of Japan?

As of July 2003, Japan had a population of 127.7 million, eighth largest in the world after China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Russia and Pakistan.
Small in size, Japan has a high population density of 336 people per km².
Compared with the United States, where population density stands at only 29 people per km², it may seem that there are too many people in Japan wherever one goes.
