Description
An account of the resource
Oishi begins the interview with his family background and moving to Hawaii from Hiroshima. He would grow up in Kona, Hawaii working at the family farm and then for his aunt at her grocery store, all while attending school and Japanese language school. He would grow up heavily influenced by Japanese culture, as he grew up Buddhist and spoke Japanese much of his young life in addition to English. He would be working at the store when he first heard of the attacks on Pearl Harbor and would be forced to black out their home and carry gas masks to school. After high school, he would work for Captain Cook Coffee as he had an interest in the accounting field and was given the opportunity to keep their books. Next, he would be drafted by the Army and head to Schofield Barracks for his induction before heading to Camp Blanding for his basic training. As his cousin was working as a language instructor in Minnesota, he was able to get Oishi moved to Fort Snelling for Military Intelligence Service Language School (MIS). During this time, the atomic bombs were dropped and Japan surrendered, so the Army cut his courses short and shipped him to Japan to begin his time translating in occupied Japan.

Description
An account of the resource
Kosaki begins the interview speaking about his childhood and schooling in Hawaii, attending Japanese language school in Waikiki. Next, he jumps into his whereabouts during the attacks on Pearl Harbor. After spending some time at the University of Hawaii, Kosaki decided to volunteer for the Army, and in 1944 was inducted and sent to Fort Snelling for Japanese language training. He would train here until being shipped overseas, first to Manila, then to Atsugi Air Force Base near Tokyo, where he would discover the devastation that the war had brought Japan. He noticed the dispirited looks on civilians, from poverty and food shortages and was amazed at the culture during the military occupation.

Description
An account of the resource
Nishibayashi continues his recollection of his language training at Presidio and his thoughts about what to expect in an occupation. While shipping to Yokohama, he would enjoy a furlough in Hawaii before getting into Japan to begin his time there. When arriving, he would head first to Camp Zama and notice the Japanese civilians buying cigarettes from the soldiers right out of the train. He would arrive in Tokyo and begin to explore, even making friendships with civilians. After about a month, he would get his first assignment in Sendai, translating for the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC). He would work there for over five years, translating documents and other occupational assignments, until he began another stint, which he is unable to speak about. He would revisit Sendai later, and would also end up meeting his wife there.

He would work for a few different companies, programming and displaying data sets in color for the first time. Next, he talks about his family background which now includes very ambitious grandchildren.

Description
An account of the resource
Oshiro begins the interview with a short introduction and talking about his whereabouts during the Japanese surrender during World War Two. Next, he talks about his childhood, growing up in Hawaii and being brought up with a heavy influence of Japanese culture, including Japanese language school every day after regular school. He would grow up on a pineapple plantation, often having nothing to eat and struggling for money. He would jump at the first chance he had to not work on the plantation, by joining the Army, after a recruiter told him about the GI Bill. He would head to Schofield Barracks in Honolulu on his first ever plane ride and have a very fast basic training, sending him over to Yokohama after just six weeks of training. Once he arrived in Japan, he would see the destruction that the war had caused and begin his second stint of training, learning conversational Japanese at the NYK building.

An account of the resource
Nakasone talks about the reactions to the Japanese attacking the Americans at Pearl Harbor and the effect that it had on his family. His parents understood that they would be seen as enemy aliens after the attacks but also understood that their children were Americans and would have to do their duty for their country. At this time, the Japanese language school and regular school would stop and everybody would have to work on the pineapple fields once a week. Next, he talks about receiving his draft notice and his thoughts on going to Japan. He would head to Tokyo and join the Allied Translator and Interpreter Section at the NYK Building. He talks about various experiences, including traveling through Japan and interacting with Japanese civilians. He also talks about what it was like in Japan during the occupation, seeing small food rations for the locals, General MacArthur's leadership and the impact of the Japanese American soldiers.
