Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii's mission is to be a vibrant resource, strengthening our diverse community by educating present and future generations in the evolving Japanese American experience in Hawai‘i. We do this through relevant programming, meaningful community service and innovative partnerships that enhance the understanding and celebration of our heritage, culture and love of the land. To guide us in this work we draw from the values found in our Japanese American traditions and the spirit of Aloha.
We aspire to co-create a society where a deeper knowledge of one’s heritage and a profound understanding of oneself will enable enlightened connections among all people.
The Japan-America Society of Hawaii was founded in 1976 to promote understanding and friendship between the people of Japan and the United States through the special and unique perspective of Hawaii.
Our office is located in Honolulu, Hawaii and we serve the people of Hawaii by offering educational-programs for students from K to 12th grade as well as special-interest programs for our members and the general public.
Our educational programs focus on teaching the concept of “Different Perspectives.” There is no right or wrong way to look at things, just different ways to look at things. Our special-interest programs aim to feature different aspects of Japan, America, and Hawaii-related topics in areas such as business, economics, politics, culture, and environmental issues all with the purpose of enhancing understanding.
The Japanese American Citizens League is the nation’s oldest and largest Asian American civil rights organization and was established to challenge racism and bigotry directed against Japanese Americans. Discrimination and intolerance remain the focus of the JACL today and extends to the greater Asian American community and others who are victimized by injustice and prejudice.
The Honolulu Chapter is unique because it draws upon Hawaii’s rich, multi-ethnic society and strong cultural values. The Chapter, a member of the National JACL Northern California, Western Nevada, Pacific District (NWCWNP), was chartered in 1980. It was established under the leadership of the late Earl Nishimura. Over the last 28 years, the Honolulu Chapter has stood out as a leader in civil rights advocacy by supporting for redress for Japanese Americans who were interned unfairly, providing legal and media support for Captain Bruce Yamashita in his fight against the Marine Corps for racial discrimination and harassment, hosting an annual Day of Remembrance to commemorate the anniversary of Executive Order 9066, and supporting Lt. Ehren Watada who refused to be deployed to Iraq for an unlawful war.

I am a trust/wills and probate attorney who can service in Hawaii and California. I was educated in the United States but have experience working in Japan and the United States and can work with both Japan residents and United States residents alike.
I am fully bilingual in Japanese and in English. I also practice in the area of captive insurance (for which Hawaii is a domicile) if you would like help on corporate matters.
I look forward to helping you in your estate planning/estate administration needs!
