Only offered limited roles by the Hollywood establishment during certain points of his career, Shimoda persevered on for challenging dramatic roles, such as in the television movie, FAREWELL TO MANZANAR. Shimoda’s journey from Sacramento’s “J-Town,” to his imprisonment in an American concentration camp, and his experiences on Broadway and Hollywood are insightfully explored through interviews and selected clips from his film and television work. Among those interviewed include directors Harold Prince and John Korty; actors Mako, Beulah Quo, Nobu McCarthy, Soon Tek Oh; and agent Guy Lee.\r\n\r\nSee this item in the Densho Resource Guide at: Yuki Shimoda: Asian American Actor (film).\r\n\r\nSee this item in the Digital Library of the Japanese American Incarceration Films at: https://archive.org/details/ddr-densho-1024-87.","extent":"00:31:00","links_children":"ddr-densho-1024-87","creators":[{"role":"Director, Screenwriter, Producer, Editor, Sound Design","namepart":"Esaki, John"},{"role":"Executive Producer","namepart":"Aihara, Douglas"},{"role":"Executive Producer","namepart":"Araki, Nancy"},{"role":"Executive Producer","namepart":"Kikumura, Akemi"},{"role":"Executive Producer","namepart":"Mabalot, Lisa"},{"role":"Executive Producer","namepart":"Tatsukawa, Steve"},{"role":"Co-Producer","namepart":"Kato, Amy E."},{"role":"Composer","namepart":"Kuramoto, Dan"},{"role":"Sound Design","namepart":"Cubos, Gabriel"},{"role":"Sound Design","namepart":"Nakamura, Robert"},{"role":"Actor","namepart":"Prince, Harold"},{"role":"Actor","namepart":"Akemi, Kikumura"},{"role":"Actor","namepart":"McCarthy, Nobu"},{"role":"Actor","namepart":"Quo, Beulah"},{"role":"Actor","namepart":"Yashima, Momo"},{"role":"Actor","namepart":"Oh, Soon Teck"},{"role":"Actor","namepart":"Lee, Guy"},{"role":"Actor","namepart":"Nishijima, Kanji"},{"role":"Actor","namepart":"Osaki, Tad"},{"role":"Actor","namepart":"Matsuhara, Yosh"},{"role":"Actor","namepart":"Tokuno, Mako"},{"role":"Actor","namepart":"Edelstein, Rick"},{"role":"Actor","namepart":"Korty, John"}],"topics":[{"term":"Arts and literature -- Performing arts -- Film","id":"249"}],"format":"av","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Shimoda, Yuki"}],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"motion_picture","facility":[{"term":"Tule Lake","id":"10"}],"creation":"1985","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Esaki, John Director, Screenwriter, Producer, Editor, Sound Design \nAihara, Douglas Executive Producer \nAraki, Nancy Executive Producer \nKikumura, Akemi Executive Producer \nMabalot, Lisa Executive Producer \nTatsukawa, Steve Executive Producer \nKato, Amy E.

(Joseph Yasutake was interviewed together with his sister Mitsuye (Yasutake) Yamada and surviving brother, William Toshio Yasutake, in group sessions on October 8-9, 2002. He was also interviewed individually on October 9, 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":"01:20:38","links_children":"ddr-densho-1000-136","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":130,"namepart":"Joe Yasutake"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Alice Ito"},{"role":"videographer","namepart":"John Pai"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"Seattle, Washington","creation":"October 9, 2002","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Joe Yasutake narrator \nAlice Ito interviewer \nJohn Pai videographer","download_large":"denshovh-yjoe-01-a.jpg"}],"query":{"query":{"query_string":{"query":"Oh, John","fields":["id","model","links_html","links_json","links_img","links_thumb","links_children","status","public","title","description","contributor","creators","creators.namepart","facility","format","genre","geography","label","language","creation","location","persons","rights","topics","image_url","display_name","bio","extent","search_hidden"],"analyze_wildcard":false,"allow_leading_wildcard":false,"default_operator":"AND"}},"aggs":{"facility":{"nested":{"path":"facility"},"aggs":{"facility_ids":{"terms":{"field":"facility.id","size":1000}}}},"format":{"terms":{"field":"format"}},"genre":{"terms":{"field":"genre"}},"rights":{"terms":{"field":"rights"}},"topics":{"nested":{"path":"topics"},"aggs":{"topics_ids":{"terms":{"field":"topics.id","size":1000}}}}},"_source":["id","model","links_html","links_json","links_img","links_thumb","links_children","status","public","title","description","contributor","creators","creators.namepart","facility","format","genre","geography","label","language","creation","location","persons","rights","topics","image_url","display_name","bio","extent","search_hidden"]}}
