Robert "Rusty" Kimura begins the interview talking about how his parents came from Japan and settled in Oroville, California. He would grow up there, getting into a lot of fights as he grew up a small child and people were always picking on him. He would also face discrimination, even being asked to step down from a position in the student body. He talks about the values that his family taught him, such as, not stealing and being honest. In high school, he would be involved in football, basketball and track, even winning some championships.
