Kenneth Inada begins the interview talking about his childhood home and what it was like to grow up in Honolulu. He would be immersed in Japanese culture and ethics, watching Japanese movies and attending Japanese language school after his normal schooling. After this, he talks about his family background, his father coming from Yamaguchi prefecture in Japan and his mother coming from Iwakuni in Japan as a picture bride. Settling in Hawaii, his father would open a tofu factory and be very successful, not having to worry much during the Great Depression.
