 note = {Abstract. The author has been conducting research since 2011 into the issue of intercultural communication among Filipino women living in Okinawa. The Filipino women the author met are married to Okinawan men, have had experience of giving birth and rearing children, and have jobs in Okinawa. They have tried to find a way to adjust to Okinawan society while struggling with the language barrier. The aim of this article is to show how these Filipino women have constructed their self-identities in Okinawan society.\
The author conducted semi-structured interviews with six Filipino women living in Okinawa. The data were analyzed by using the modified grounded theory approach. Results indicated that the interviewees were using at least\
three languages in their daily lives, such as Japanese, English, and Tagalog（or local Filipino languages.）Which\
language they used depended on the situation and as a result they have constructed three self-identities.\
When they faced difficulty in speaking Japanese, they tended to experience agitation of their (Japanese) identities. However, they overcame the difficulty by studying Japanese further to try to reconstruct their identities. The development of their language abilities makes their identities more evolved. Their plural self-identities have been integrated in the face of agitation, dissolution and ultimately the renewal of their identities.},
