I was born in Tokyo. I work as a tour guide for Brazilian and Portuguese customers. I love flowers, especially the beautiful Jacaranda flowers. My dream is to go to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Of course, I'll be rooting for Samurai Japan!

@Matsugen

I have established NAC-J, a non profit organization, and are engaged in communicating the history of Japanese Americans. As part of that, I made a movie "Go for Broke! Memorie of Hawaii Japanese Niseis". This movie was premiered at the 2012 Maui Film Festival. And, produced the movie "Okagesama de ~Hawaii Nikkei Women's Trajectory". This movie has been officially selected for the 2021 Hawaii International Film Festival. The revenue of the activity will be used to support Kansha Preschool run by Nisei Veterans Memorial Center of Maui. This Kansha Preschool is a preschool that conveys pride and value as a Nikkei and gratitude to Nisei.

My long-held hobby of receiving shortwave broadcasts has led me to research the history of Japanese language radio broadcasting in Japanese communities.

Nima of the Month Learn about some of our favorite Nima and what they like about Discover Nikkei.

@Hiro_Ramos

Hiro Ramos Nako is a Peruvian writer with a bachelor’s degree in Communication from the Universidad de Lima. Having attended two different Japanese school in Lima growing up, Hiro is very familiar with Lima’s Nikkei community. He hopes to continue working on his Japanese skills now that his Japanese has gotten a bit rusty.

Hiro began volunteering as a writer for Discover Nikkei in 2024, and has written several stories about the Nikkei community in Lima. Hiro enjoys covering Peru’s cultural landscape and sharing stories about the Peruvian Nikkei community. He strives to use his writing as a tool to promote diversity and fight against social injustice. Check out some of Hiro’s stories on Discover Nikkei to learn more about Nikkei in Peru.

What do you like most about Discover Nikkei?

What I like the most about Discover Nikkei is all the opportunities I am given to explore the diversity of the Nikkei community. From writing chronicles to interviewing fellow Peruvian Nikkei people, I believe all these different stories have taught me different things about myself and my community and have made me closer to it. Even though I feel like I haven’t been here for too long, I believe that Discover Nikkei has made me experience writing in a different way, which makes me feel more fulfilled. For a few articles I’ve written, I’ve reconnected with people I hadn’t reached out to in years, and I’ve also met new people whose life stories have made me see a wider scope of the history of both Japanese immigration and the Nikkei community worldwide.

How do you connect to your Nikkei identity?

Responding to this question used to be something that I struggled with. Despite being heavily connected to the community from having Nikkei friends, studying in Nikkei schools, and participating in events, I often didn’t feel as connected as others. This is something I’ve heard a few other people my age say they have experienced, since the further we get from the initial immigration generation, the more some traditions get lost. However, now I’ve realized that I connect to my identity in different ways. The shared experiences I have with others from my generation might not be similar to the ones our parents or grandparents had, but we still have a lot in common and that makes us feel connected. I also feel connected with my identity by learning more about other people’s life stories, because they often make me realize I’m not the only one with some experiences.
