Would that 0.1 come from some random trader that got a Japanese slave or something?
I'm curious about that, how did you trace ancestry ?

well, there is a hundreds of year old village of japanese in Spain.
Maybe there?

It could just be an error, it's such a small amount anyway.
Probably some Japanese that went on one of those embassies that Japan had before closing. They went to Spain, usually.

Everything below 0.3-0.4% can be safely disregarded as random noise in most cases. If you get percentages of 0.5% and up then there's most likely something true to it

Maybe I should do this, coming from a family that claims to be 100% Ashkenazi Jew (with a geneology going back a few hundred years), I'd be interested to see where genetic testing places my ancestors.

If the records are accurate, probably mostly Ashkenazi with splatterings of Europeans.
The test also tells you a couple other things like if you carry genetic disorders like Muscular Dystrophy.

Not every Japanese in Spanish empire was a slave. Most of them were exiled Christian Japanese or cunts caught stranded when they were not allowed to come back to Japan by the Tokugawa Sakoku edict.
A majority of them lived in the Philippines and served in the Colonial Military. Much of the "Spanish Army" in 1500's-1600's Colonial Philippines was not European. Only a minority was, with the rest of the colonial forces manned by Japanese Christian soldiers and ex-samurai, exiled/Ex-Pirate and Christianized Chinese sailors and marines, and the majority being converted Filipino warriors.
Spain led a weird army in the 16th and 17th Century Philippines as you had guys with their native equipment but just splattered with Crosses, the reigning Monarch's Coat of Arms, and images of Catholic Saints.
