For dual citizens I know which passport to show at which step when travelling between the two.

But now I'm adding a new complication.

Let's say I have citizenship in the Us and Canada and (born in US, live in Canada).

Travelling from Canada to Japan with a layover in the US. Who sees what passport? When I enter the US they'll want to see my US passport but what do I show to enter Japan? I'm assuming the Canadian passport since its where I actually live (and what matches the passport of my travelling companion).

And what about the return trip?

(edited for specific countries)

Go to the check in counter in Canada: tell the check in person that you want to use your Canadian passport to leave Canada and to enter Japan, and that that you will use your US passport to enter and leave the US. The check in person will probably need to capture this in your travel records, so the info that will be sent to US and Japan will be corrected.

You may want to head to the airport a littler earlier to get this sorted out.
