Harry Kubo oral history interview, part 4 of 6, January 26, 2003

Kubo continues talking about his experiences in the Pacific Theater, including making sukiyaki in Luzon using meat and K rations. Shortly after, the end of the war would occur and his team would be moved to Fukuoka in Japan. There, he would be able to visit bombed out Hiroshima, seeing the flatness and devastation and looking for his family members. He talks more about the occupation of Japan, and about the Japanese civilians that were resilient and would begin building up a new Japan right away. He also talks about revisiting Japan and reuniting with his mother after the occupation. He would return to the United States, facing discrimination along the way, before re-enlisting into the Army. He would head back to Japan where he would work for another three years before once again returning to California, where he would work at a garage.
