She expresses a wish to never go to Japan. She wanted to have adventures and worry about settling down further in the future.

The files in the Multnomah County Jail did not show any information on Koyama's arrest or warrant on the matter. A report from the Credit Reporting Company from Rose Zurbuchen showed that Koyama had been sued twice and that his credit score was \"very slow\" due to his long history of not paying back loans in a time manner as some of his debt was dated back to 1932. The report also notes that Koyama paid $5 in 1940 and 1941 for dues to the Japanese Association of Portland, $2 above the usual fee of $3. A review of the Japanese Association of Japan, along with its Japanese Chamber of Commerce, found it to be dominated by native born Japanese members and that many of its activities indicated sympathies towards Japan. Due to this, the report states that these sympathies has a \"retarding effect on the Americanization of second generation Japanese\" as the officers of the organization were \"very pro-Japanese.\"","extent":"1 photocopy: 8.50 W x 14 H","links_children":"ddr-one-5-103","creators":[{"role":"author","namepart":"Quinn, Vincent M."}],"topics":[{"term":"World War II -- Pearl Harbor and aftermath -- Arrest, searches, and seizures","id":"50"}],"format":"doc","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Zurbuchen, Rose"},{"namepart":"Jordan, I."},{"namepart":"Portland Japanese Chamber of Commerce"},{"namepart":"Multnomah County Jail"},{"namepart":"Japanese Association of Portland"}],"contributor":"Japanese American Museum of Oregon; Portland, Oregon","geography":[{"term":"Portland","id":"289"}],"rights":"cc","genre":"misc_document","creation":"January 14, 1942","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Quinn, Vincent M. author Zurbuchen, Rose \nJordan, I. \nPortland Japanese Chamber of Commerce \nMultnomah County Jail \nJapanese Association of Portland","download_large":"ddr-one-5-103-mezzanine-acae86b71a-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-299-247","model":"entity","index":"18 5268/{'value': 5904, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-299-247/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-299-247/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-299/ddr-densho-299-247-mezzanine-4da001751a-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-299/ddr-densho-299-247-mezzanine-4da001751a-a.jpg"},"title":"Ted Akimoto's Army Photographer patch","description":"Caption: \"At the end of WWII I was fortunate enough to be Photo Assignment Officer for the Signal Photo / division of the Supreme Command Allied Powers (SCAP) in Tokyo, Japan.
