Born in Kobe city of the Hyogo prefecture, she has lived in Los Angeles since 1997. Works as an editor for a Nikkei Community paper, and also writes articles based on local happenings. When she was in Japan, she had never even heard of the word “Nikkei-jin,” let alone the existence of internment camps during World War II. She is participating in the Discover Nikkei site in hopes that the readers can “keep the existence of Nikkei people close to their hearts and minds.”
