In these extended answers to questions about Kanamori's repatriation to Japan and his refusal to pledge allegiance to the United States, he discusses his fear of violence and desire to keep his family together which resulted in his answering of \"no\" to the the Loyalty Questionnaire in Poston. He also discusses his marriage to Grace Kazuko Miyamoto in the Tule Lake camp in March 1944 and briefly explains that his father was  first brought to the Santa Fe Department of Justice Camp, while the rest of his family was first brought to Poston. Eventually they were all moved to the Tule Lake incarceration camp.  Kanamori wanted to apply for \"relocation\" but was coerced by his family and fearful of violence outside of the camp, thus resulting in him remaining in camp with the rest of his family.

As it is thought disrespectful to use someone's real name, people usually use courtesy names when referring to each other. When this custom entered Japan in the Heian era, the registrar of the Monjoin used the courtesy name of each student in its registry when they entered schools. Before long Confucianists came to always use this name and it effectively became their usual name. As Confucianism spread during the Tokugawa period, many came to use them.

After returning to Hiroshima to see his ailing father, Keiko's father found it impossible to return to America as his mother hid his passport to keep him in Japan. Shortly, Keiko's mother joined him in Hiroshima, also her hometown. Unlike her eight older siblings, then, Keiko was born in Japan, in 1936. She recalls the challenge of being sent to the countryside at the age of eight as part of shudan sokai, a wartime program for children aiming to protect the youth from fire bombings in cities. The food shortage and black market called yamiichi that flourished after the war, too, left Keiko a strong impression. She is a nyushi survivor, as she was exposed to radiation by walking through the city of Hiroshima three days after the bombing. She lost one of her older sisters to the bomb. She came to the United States in 1960 with a help of her US-born brother, by then living in Los Angeles. She relearned English from her father who was also back in the United States and in the area at that time. Keiko attended a technical college to study design while working as a \"schoolgirl\" and worked briefly in Beverly Hills as a dressmaker before she married Nisei from Stockton. A former prisoner of the Gila River War Relocation Center, he worked as a mechanic at Chevrolet after the war and became an owner of a car repair shop. Keiko helped the shop's book keeping, while she also raised two children and worked at a grocery store in order to pay for her health insurance. At the time of the interview, Keiko had just joined a biannual medical checkup conducted by Hiroshima physicians in San Francisco for the first time because of the encouragement by another US survivor. After her husband passed away in 1998, she has been enjoying talking with her children, going to a Buddhist church in Stockton, and keeping in touch with her Nisei friends."},{"id":"ddr-one-5-232","model":"entity","index":"17 5842/{'value': 5890, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-one-5-232/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-one-5-232/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-one-5/ddr-one-5-232-mezzanine-cd0ea81f91-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-one-5/ddr-one-5-232-mezzanine-cd0ea81f91-a.jpg"},"title":"Typed and notarized letter from Teru Koyama to Edward J.

This was confirmed by the stowaway's brother who happened to be at the same camp as Keizaburo Koyama. After being transferred to Santa Fe, New Mexico, authorities urged Mr. Koyama to fully detail his story, which he did.

After Executive Order 9066 was issued in 1942, he decided to resist the evacuation orders, and was not removed with his family. He was arrested in May of 1942, taken to jail, and eventually transferred to the Tanforan Assembly Center, California, where his family was being held. He legally challenged the constitutionality of Executive Order 9066, and his case made it to the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld the order in 1944. Following World War II, Mr. Korematsu moved to Detroit, Michigan, where he married and raised a family before returning to California. In the early 1980s, his case was reopened after the discovery of a crucial document indicating that in the original 1944 case, the federal government had lied to the high court. The conviction was vacated by U.S. District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel in 1983, and in 1998, Mr. Korematsu was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.<p>(Due to technical difficulties and conditions at the time of taping, there is loud background noise in this interview.)","extent":"01:21:43","links_children":"ddr-densho-1000-181","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":205,"namepart":"Fred Korematsu"},{"role":"narrator","oh_id":206,"namepart":"Kathryn Korematsu"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Lorraine Bannai"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Tetsuden Kashima"},{"role":"videographer","namepart":"Matt Emery"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"nr_id":"88922/nr008bb3x","namepart":"Korematsu, Fred Toyosaburo"}],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"Seattle, Washington","creation":"May 14, 1996","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Fred Korematsu narrator \nKathryn Korematsu narrator \nLorraine Bannai interviewer \nTetsuden Kashima interviewer \nMatt Emery videographer Korematsu, Fred Toyosaburo 88922nr008bb3x","download_large":"denshovh-kfred_g-01-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-1000-96","model":"entity","index":"22 5847/{'value': 5890, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-1000-96/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-1000-96/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-1000/denshovh-tayame_g-01-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-1000/denshovh-tayame_g-01-a.jpg"},"title":"Ayame Tsutakawa - Mayumi Tsutakawa - Kenzan Tsutakawa-Chinn - Yayoi Tsutakawa-Chinn","description":"This is an intergenerational, group interview of members of the Tsutakawa family.
