Yoshito Yoshino oral history interview, March 24, 2007

Yoshino begins the interview with his family background, being raised by his grandparents on Maui. Growing up on a plantation, he was quite the rascal, and would get into a lot of fights as a child, so he was taken in by the local boxing community…

Yoshino continues his discussion on boxing in the Army and after, including a tryout for the Olympic National Team and traveling through Europe for exhibition fights. Next, he talks about time in the Army, including a friendship with General Mark…

Yoshino shows a picture of himself from the Army and talks a little bit more about his boxing experiences and how that shaped him.
