My wife is a Filipino and a grand daughter of a Japanese national ( soldier),My wife's middle name is KONO.

Is it possible for us to acquire a Japanese working visa or residency using the family roots of my wife?

It depends, you might have grounds for a Long Term Resident visa petition, but I imagine the chances are slim. But how about you? What is your nationality and education level?

Thanks for your input, I am also a Filipino a graduate of BS physical Therapy. Can u pls give us a broader idea on the visa application process. tnx

Basically one of you would need to qualify for one of the resident visa classes. In your case, you might qualify for a long term resident visa if you can procure your wife's grandfather's family register and prove her lineage. However, your degree qualifies you for a work visa, so it would probably be probably easier to go that route instead. See this page for more detailed info on the process:
