The Rima Nippō (Lima Nippo) was born in Lima in 1929 out of a three-way merger among the Andesu Jihō (Andes Jiho), the Dai Nanbeishi, which was renamed from the Perū Nichinichi Shinbun, and the Nippi Shinpō. However, the monopoly by the Rima Nippō did not last long since the Perū Jihō was published in the same year. The Japanese-language newspapers, including the Perū Hōchi, Rima Nippō, and Perū Jihō, were shut down after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Subsequently, many of the Japanese newspapermen were deported from Peru during WWII.

『リマ日報』は『アンデス時報』と『秘露日日新聞』から改題された『大南米紙』と『日秘新報』とが合併、1929年に発刊された。しかし、『秘露時報』が同年に創刊され、『リマ日報』の独占状態は長続きしなかった。日米開戦後、『秘露報知』、『リマ日報』、『秘露時報』を含む邦字新聞各紙は発行停止、その後、邦字新聞関係者の多くが国外追放された。
