William Toshio Yasutake was interviewed together with his sister Mitsuye (Yasutake) Yamada and surviving brother, Joseph Yasutake, in group sessions on October 8-9, 2002. He was interviewed individually on November 14, 2002.
Before being contacted by Densho, the Yasutake siblings had planned to conduct their own family history interviews. Individually and jointly, they and other family members had written and gathered material documenting their family history. They shared much of this with me to assist with research and preparation for the Densho interview. Mitsuye's daughter Jeni had coordinated much of the family history work. Jeni participated as a secondary interviewer during the group sessions, October 8-9, 2002.The group interview sessions were conducted in Seattle at the home of Tom Ikeda, executive director of Densho. The oldest Yasutake sibling, Reverend Seiichi Michael Yasutake, had passed away less than a year before the Densho interviewing, in December, 2001. The remaining siblings emphasized that his absence left a gap in their discussion of family history. In addition to Jeni Yamada and videographers Dana Hoshide and John Pai, also present during some portions of the group interview were Tom Ikeda, and Mitsuye Yamada's son Kai Yamada.","extent":"00:05:51","links_children":"ddr-densho-1000-138-11","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":131,"namepart":"Tosh Yasutake"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Alice Ito"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Tom Ikeda"},{"role":"videographer","namepart":"Dana Hoshide"}],"topics":[{"term":"World War II -- Military service -- 442nd Regimental Combat Team","id":"89"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","geography":[{"term":"Mississippi","id":"\"http://vocab.getty.edu/tgn/7007522\""}],"rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"Seattle, Washington","creation":"November 14, 2002","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Tosh Yasutake narrator \nAlice Ito interviewer \nTom Ikeda interviewer \nDana Hoshide videographer","download_large":"denshovh-ytosh-01-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-1007","model":"collection","index":"23 5923/{'value': 6865, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-1007/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-1007/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-1007/denshovh-fhoward-01-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-1007/denshovh-fhoward-01-a.jpg"},"title":"Loni Ding Oral History and Film Research Collection","description":"The Loni Ding Oral History and Film Research Collection contains documents, correspondences, periodicals, testimonies, newspaper clippings, interview transcriptions, ephemera, speeches, booklets and programs, book reviews, press releases, and photographs.
