Muranaka goes through his work in the Army after the end of World War Two, where he served in the Korean War. Next, he discusses the importance of Nisei soldiers during the occupation of Japan, and how big of an impact communication is in order to keep everyone on the same page. With many differences in culture, language and upbringing, Muranaka worked hard to make Japanese soldiers feel at ease while interrogating them. As many Nisei soldiers were also doing similar work, it became key to have skilled linguists in occupied Japan.

Konoshima begins by speaking about his time in occupied Japan. After spending time in the American concentration camps, he would be shipped to Tokyo as part of the Headquarters team. When arriving in Tokyo, he would remember the destruction of buildings but as it was around 1950, much was changing. He would also be able to visit family that was in Gifu and see the black market. After about a year in Tokyo, he would be assigned to be an interrogator in Korea. In his experience, he did not notice any animosity from the civilians or the prisoners of war that he interrogated. Next he discusses the military occupation as a whole and how the implementation of Constitution and democracy would shape Japan's government. He also talks about the timing of American soldiers needing to be moved out of Japan after a certain point so that Japan would be able to reconcile themselves in due time. In later years, he would return to Japan as a writer for a newspaper and note the changes that he saw each time he came back.

Yoshimura begins the interview discussing how he came to be on the USS Missouri with General MacArthur when the emperor of Japan was announcing his surrender. As a child, Yoshimura had moved from America to Japan to begin his education and to learn the Japanese culture. He would attend high school, but would feel that he didn't believe in the teachings of the Japanese teachers, so after graduation, moved back to the United States to begin his life anew. As he had always seen himself as an American, he would head back with one hundred yen given by his mother, and he would begin working on a farm. Next, he talks about the pressures to become Japanese and conform to the Japanese ways while living there. Once he had joined the Army, he was given an assignment to be part of the public relations team, interpreting for General Headquarters. He would talk to many Japanese civilians during the occupation, treating them as he would a close friend. He discusses the importance of understanding Japanese culture when being a part of occupation for the winning side.

Fumio Ralph Fujimoto oral history interview, part 2 of 3, November 22, 2008
Fujimoto continues his recollection of Pearl Harbor and the aftermath of the attacks, including curfews and getting rid of all illegal contraband. Shortly after, they would get notification of Executive Order 9066, which would force them to be moved to an American concentration camp in Arizona. He and his family would be transported there with only the personal belongings they could carry. Once arrived at Poston concentration camp, he would see the poor living conditions including dusty barracks, no privacy and creatures all over the place. He talks about the recreational activities they had there as well, and the loyalty questions that were given to all men. He would end up being drafted into the Army and would be inducted at Fort Sheridan, followed by basic training at Camp Maxey. However, during this time, Victory over Europe occurred and he would be moved to Fort Snelling to begin Military Intelligence Service. While there, Japan surrendered and the war ended. Unfortunately, he was called back home with urgency as his mother was sick and would pass away shortly after. He would be discharged from the Army, so he could take care of his little sisters.

Murakami continues his recollection of the Marysville Temporary Detention Center and the living conditions there. Shortly after that, he and his family were moved to Tule Lake Concentration Camp where tensions were high and at one point they were tear gassed as hostility ran high. Once the war had ended, Murakami was accepted into UC Berkeley and would attend that until he decided to join the Army. It was then that he would head overseas to Japan to work as an interpreter with the 21st Infantry Regiment and the Quartermaster Corps. After about a year he headed back to California to meet up with his wife and attend UCLA where he would complete his dental degree. Next, he would head to Howard University and he would end up staying in the Washington DC area. It was there that he became involved with social activism and continuing to spread the Japanese American legacy, including helping with the Japanese American Memorial to Patriotism During World War II.

Masato Eddy Kurushima oral history interview, part 7 of 8, February 23, 2002
Masato "Eddy" Kurushima discusses why the natives in the Pacific did not like anyone with Japanese ancestry. Eddy recalled an encounter with the Filipino natives and was mistaken for Japanese soldiers. Eddy says there was always a guard with the linguists for protection. Overall, linguists are treated well in the Pacific.
In the Pacific, there were cases of Japanese soldiers impersonating Nisei soldiers. Therefore, remembering the password is vital. Eddy also discussed acts of heroism in the Pacific. He recalls a Kibei on the frontline rescuing a Japanese soldier.
At the end of the war, Eddy processed the prisoners and civilians at the POW Camp. He shares the difficult part of being an MIS. After the Pacific Theater, Eddy goes to occupation Japan.
Going to Japan post-war, Eddy sees the destruction of the cities and the suffering of the locals. Prewar, you associate the Japanese people and the country with beauty. However, that has changed because of the devastation. Eddy was assigned to Sugamo Prison and the Zama Replacement Depot.

Ishizaki begins the interview with his outlook on the surrender of Japan. As he had previously volunteered for the Army, he was already in Manila, awaiting his shipment to Japan. Once arrived at Atsugi Air Base, he immediately noticed the flat devastation of the country. He would be assigned to a general, interpreting but mostly just relaxing. He again would notice the hardships going on throughout the country, especially those in need of food. He would also go and visit his family in Fukuoka and visit various parts of Japan with a famous actress. After this, he was assigned to inspect Piers for Japanese citizens looking for repatriation. Following this, he was sent back to Tokyo, where he would mostly have free time, hanging out in Shinjuku and traveling some more.

Okumura begins the interview talking about his whereabouts when the war ended and Japan surrendered and his thoughts on the atomic bomb. At the time, he was already in the Army and had gone through his training, so he was sent overseas to begin his work in occupied Japan. He would stop off at a few islands before getting to Okinawa, helping to talk with Japanese civilians that were hiding out in caves. Next, he talks about how he came to learn Japanese as a sansei. After this, he talks more about his time in Japan, including the reconstruction and talking with Japanese civilians to understand their lives better. Okumura also discusses the harsh living conditions that the American soldiers dealt with in Okinawa, sleeping in a tent that would get soaked during the typhoons. He would spend more time in Okinawa, interpreting and helping when needed with the reconstruction, before getting discharged and heading back to the mainland. He would end up Hawaii and start a family, which now includes 10 grandchildren.

After joining the Air Force, Aki would ask to be sent to occupied Japan, instead of having to serve in the Korean War. He talks about coming into Japan for the first time since his time as a prisoner of war, and comparing the destruction he saw when he was leaving compared to the destruction that was seen in Tokyo. He would get his first assignment at Misawa Air Base, where he would end up meeting his wife while there was a parade. He discusses the intricacies of that relationship, since he was an American and she was a Japanese citizen and the long process of finalizing that marriage. He talks more about the occupation, speaking with civilians, including seeing riots and demonstrations by communists against the American government. Finally, he talks about the sharing the history of the Nisei soldiers and shares a message for future generations that they should support their families.

Aki continues to talk about his experiences as a prisoner of war while in Japan. Towards the end of the war, he noticed that a lot of weird things were happening with the Japanese Army guards and that the POWs were taken out of work. He overheard that Japan had surrendered and that there would be an airlift available in Kagoshima. He would escape the camp and make his way to Kagoshima, taking trains that were packed and noticing that Japanese civilians seemed scared of them, and seeing the devastation of Japan from the bombings. Once he made it there, he would have a spoon of ice cream and a Coca-Cola and get ready for his journey back to the United States. They would stop first in Okinawa, getting repatriated and then getting on another boat headed for San Francisco before finally making it back to Hawaii. Once returned to Kauai, he would begin working at a police station as a clerk typist. He would be forced to enter the draft and would end up joining the Air Force. In order to avoid being in the Korean War, he would end up going to occupied Japan.

George Matsunaga oral history interview, part 2 of 3, October 9, 2010
George Mitsuru Matsunaga completed training at Camp Ritchie CIC School. In 1945, he went overseas for occupation and was part of the 187th paratroopers. Briefly, George had guard duty at Camp Kuwae. Later he went to Morioka and worked for the CIC. George's duties included being an interpreter for the CIC personnel, investigating complaints, getting supplies, and managing Japanese nationalist CIC workers.
He explains he used diplomacy to treat everyone fairly. George gave an example of using diplomacy when he interpreted for a Colonel in Morioka for rice rationing. George learned to treat others equally from his mother. He recalls the situations with the Koreans being oppressed. George tried to help them and acted as the middle man to make peace.
During the occupation, George saw the effects of war from starvation and death. One thing that upset George was seeing two to three funerals every day for soldiers killed in action (KIA). Overall, George felt the occupation was a success in rebuilding Japan.
After the occupation, George returned to Hawaii and graduated from the University of Hawaii on his GI Bill. In 1950, George worked in Okinawa for the Department of Army Civilians as a court interpreter for a Judge and collect property deeds in Naha.
George recalls in 1945 a plane crashed with 12 linguists aboard the flight. George knew some of the men well because they were from Hawaii and Mainland -Joe Kuwada, Motokane, Ueoka, and the Inouye brothers.

Ishimoto continues his discussion on the importance of Nisei linguists during the military occupation of Japan. He talks about the various campaigns and things that the MIS had to deal with, that were much more than just interpreting and translating. Next, he talks about what made the occupation successful and how that can be translated into future occupations, the most important piece being that you need to understand the culture from their perspective. He also talks about some of what he saw from the Japanese citizens, as far as food was concerned, taking the trash from the Army mess halls and presumably eating the scraps. He finishes with some experiences he had in Japan, including seeing General MacArthur, and dealing with discrimination.

Ishimoto begins the interview talking about his whereabouts when he first heard of the surrender of Japan. At this time, he was already beginning preparations to move into Japan for scheduled invasions, and therefore, when shipped to Japan, he would begin his time working for the occupational forces. When arriving, he immediately noticed the pure destruction of buildings, and was given an assignment to head to Okinawa. While there, he would speak to Japanese civilians, who would tell him that they had planned to fight until the end for their country and had makeshift weapons ready. After this, he was given an assignment to teach Japanese translations to students. Next, he talks about his various friends that were involved in the Military Intelligence Service (MIS) and the campaigns that they were involved with. He talks about how the synergy and contribution of the Nisei is much broader than most people realize. After this, he talks about the difference in seeing Atsugi Air Base at the beginning of the occupation and at the end when he would be sent back home. Ishimoto also talks about Japan's defensive positions before the war ended and his personal identity of being American.

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.

During his freshmen year of high school, the attacks on Pearl Harbor occurred and though he didn't see much discrimination, he did feel the effects of the war as he saw teachers being incarcerated and digging trenches behind the high school in case an invasion were to occur. Next, he talks about when he joined the Army and was sent to basic training in Honolulu. As the Army needed interpreters and translators, he was sent to Fort Snelling in Minnesota to begin language training. Shortly after, he was re-routed to Presidio, California where he was given the option to discharge, however, he decided he would stay in the Army. He would be sent to Tokyo to begin his assignment with the defense language section.

Nakamura discusses arriving in Japan and exploring Tokyo before joining the 11th Airborne in Sendai. Once in Sendai, he was sent to Shiogama to join the 188th regiment where they would patrol around and investigate for weapons that could be used against them. He tells a story of a tip-off and sequential raid on a house in which they had no weapons as part of the duty they had to do. After this, he was sent back to Sendai to work at the Headquarters, where he would be a translator and interpreter. Next, he talks about taking leave and seeing different parts of Japan, including visiting his half-sister in Hiroshima.
