If we are to follow the britannian system then the best course of action is to give them all honorary britannian status to bring them closer and more tolerable to the britannians and go from there.
Though how they want to run this SAR is up to spectulation.

That is what I am saying. How will they do it?
You've given Britannian status to all Japanese, fine. Will that make everything better? They may be "equal" in name, but in reality, are they really equal? Just because a Japanese has honorary Britannian status, are they really much more tolerable to real Britannians?
Does this mean that Japanese are superior in status to other ethnic groups from other conquered countries, or is it just within Japan alone?
Do the Japanese ghettos become more of an economic "prison" instead of a social one? More importantly, will they move out?
Can they govern themselves? Can they govern other Britannians?
Ideally? Realistically?
It's very naive to go into such a deep social and political maneuvering with just that thought alone (SAZ or KoO Territory), no matter how good the intentions are.
There are very very few colonies that haven't gotten independence yet from their former territorial masters. Especially if that colony has an indigenous population unlike that of the conquering nation's. It just doesn't work well without military might.
And it is especially hard to change a culture when the head of the Empire spews out his "The strong survives, and the weak perishes" speeches that will only embolden a Britannian's feeling of superiority.
