Born August 1, 1933, in Ookala, Hawaii. At a young age, sent to Japan to live with grandfather and begin ministry training, but returned to the U.S. just before the onset of World War II. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, father, a prominent Buddhist minister, was picked up and arrested by the FBI. Mother couldn't support the children alone, so the family entered the Jerome concentration camp, Arkansas, where they were reunited with father. Father signed \"no-no\" on the so-called \"loyalty questionnaire,\" and moved the family to the Tule Lake concentration camp, California, in anticipation of repatriating to Japan. Parents changed their minds and did not go to Japan, so the family returned to Hawaii after leaving Tule Lake. After the war, Masamizu established a successful career in airplane mechanics.<p>(This material is based upon work assisted by a grant from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service.

Asked for his feelings on the issue of revision of the Anti-Immigration Act, a topic which has been raised in California, he was frank in his opposition, stating:\r\n\r\n'As you know, the debate over revising the Immigration Act has been rekindled, but given that there is a severe economic depression in the United States and large numbers of unemployed, it would be unwise to allow new immigrants to enter. As for the proposal to at least allow Japanese to enter the country in proportions equal to those from Europe, the Chinese, Indians, and other Asians would not be silent if we did so. So we have no choice but to maintain the current law of permitting Asians to come to the US for study and other reasons, but prohibit laborers from coming.'\r\n\r\nThe congressman also stated that Honolulu, like San Francisco and other coastal ports, was becoming a gateway for the smuggling of illegal drugs and that he was undertaking detailed studies of how to prevent that.

[Left] Alameda Street was a busy street and streetcars were running alongside the street. There was a Japanese school, which was called \"Banguru,\" on the west side of the street. I visited the post office to check my incoming mails. There was nothing for me. I came here, following my uncle, Koichi Naohara, who had been already settled in the United States. Although I came to the U.S. all the way from Japan traveling by a big ship called \"Kamakura-maru,\" there were no jobs available for me because of the Great Depression. I had a decent job in Japan, working for a post office, which was a Japanese government job, near the Hiroshima Station, and it was difficult for me to accept a job which paid me only 30 cents per hour in the U.S. While I was spending time alone and feeling lonely, I met Masukawa family which had eight children. I was pleased to learn that Mrs. Masukawa was Shuzo Myoren's sister who was from Karuga Asa-gun, Hiroshima. Once I met Mitzi, one of the Maskawa family's daughters, I fell in love.
