THE
Blasts
Japan in American society
and gives an impression that
there is an unbreachable gap
between Japanese and Japa
nese Americans.
The ad, placed by “Japa
nese who emigrated here
after the war, those who are
here on a temporary basis
and those who are engaged in
business here from Japan,”
stressed their gratitude for
U.S; assistance in aiding the
economic recovery of Japan
following World War II and
“the hardships experienced
by the Issei immigrant before
the war arid the trust that they
had built up in American
society by their industry and
perseverance.”
Koshiro Torii, president of
the local Japanese Chamber
of Commerce, said that the
three organizations which
sponsored the ads are in
agreement that “We don't
like official persons speaking
like this.”
Tori, an importer of Japa
nese clothing, said, “This is
just our note to Mr. Fukai that
he should be more careful
about what he says. It is not a
personal attack; but he should
be more aware of our situ
ation.”
Asked if he felt there was
“a gap” of any nature between
the Japanese American and
Japanese national communi
ties in the Southland, Torii
commented: “My feelings is
no, I don't think so. Every-_
thing is going good. Every
thing is good . . .” '
However, Nisei attorney
Kenji Ito, who chairs a special
Japanese Chamber of Com
merce committee on discri
mination in employment, differed in his opinion about the
existence of a “gap” between
American-born Japanese and
the foreign-born.
“Definitely, there is a gap.
There is a lack of understand
ing between those from Japan
and Japanese American na
tives. Both groups keep to
themselves. It's a natural in-
Cent. from page 1
clination.”
Ito stated that he felt the
ads' effect was positive. “It
was a good statement vis-a-vis
Mas Fukai's alleged comments,” the lawyer said.
Fukai, who also is a highranking deputy to Los Ange
les County Supervisor Ken
neth Hahn, said none of the
three groups contacted him
about his remarks in Trie
Times article or about the advertisements.
“But perhaps some good
can come from all of this,”
Fukai said. “I didn 't mean
that everybody who comes
here is arrogant, but there is a
gap, ho question about it. I've
talked to people here and
from Japan and they agree
with me.”
The leading vote-getter in
the April 6 Gardena municipal
election, Fukai also took is
sue with the inference in the
ads that Japanese nationals
are contributing generously
to “community causes.”
“They're confusing Japa
nese businessmen in America
and Japanese Americans,”
said Fukai. “Are they giving a
lot of money to the communi
ty or to Yale University. How
much have they given to the
Keiro Homes, Japanese Cul
tural Institute and the hospi
tals? What, ‘community’ are
they talking about?
“It seems they' re using me
to protect themselves or
make themselves look good.
They talk about the hardships
of the Issei. What have they
(Japanese businessmen) done
for the Issei? How about the
Nisei? They'Ye bringing these
issues on themselves,” he
said.
Suggested Fukai: “Maybe
they should spend their
money to defend those Hita
chi and Mitsubishi employees arrested Tn that industrial
espionage scandal, instead.”
As it stands now, Fukai is
of the feeling.that the money
spent for the ads way have
widened the gap in the com
munity.

THE
Young Japanese exiles
give up Japan for L.A.
By DAVID SMOLLAR
LOS ANGELES — He arriv
ed in Los Angeles as a 26year-old tourist. A cook in his
owti country, he soon found
a job as a kitchen helper and
stayed as an illegal alien.
Now, three-and-a-half years
later, hard work has made
him the assistant manager of
a downtown restaurant and
part-owner of a fast-food
shop in Orange County.
Not an unusual immigrant
success story in Los Ange
les, except that this new
comer is not from Mexico or
any other Latin American
countries that provide most .
of the area's recent immig
rants.'
His name is Shojiro and
he is from Japan, one of an
estimated 10,000 Japanese,
most of them youngand from
middle - class backgrounds,
living illegally in the Los An
geles area.
Most come as tourists or
students and remain for mon
ths or years after their visas
expire until they can get
green cards.
They are drawn to Los An
geles by its pleasant weather
and beaches, its Hollywood
image and North America's
largest Japanese - American
population, but it is a strong
er attraction that holds them
here, y
Japan's economic prow
ess, social cohesion and
political stability have made
it the envy of the world. Yet a
growing number of Japan's
young, unwilling or unable to
tolerate that nation's rigid
social system, are choosing
to live abroad indefinitely.
They are refugees from a
tightly structured system of
school and job examinations
that guide lifetime careers by
determining who enters the
nation' s top schools and cor
porations and who settles for
less. They are rebels from un
written but elaborate codes
of social behavior that gov
ern interpersonal relationship
through a lifetime bond of ob
ligations with fellow employ
ees, family and neighbours.
“America is easier than Ja
pan,” Shojiro said. “Here you
have the freedom to do what
ever you want to and succeed.
In Japan, that is the excep
tion rather than the rule.”
Other young exiles share
Shojiro's views. “We young
Japanese have the idea of
America as a place where
'there are no 'must situations,’
where you don't have to do
things according to custom,
without thinking,” a 24-yearold student and tour guide
said.
Coming from a country
where there are dozens of
ways for people to address
each other, depending on
whether they are superior,
inferior or equal in job or
social classification, many
find American informality re
freshing.
Their numbers have bur
geoned during the last five
years, paralleling the finan
cial ability of Japanese to
travel as tourists or students.
Many find work among the
shops, restaurants^ bars and
travel agencies that cater to
Japanese tourists, and those
in the tour groups who, like
themselves, eventually choo
se to stay.

Young Japanese exiles
give up Japan for L.A.
By DAVID SMOLLAR
LOS ANGELES — He arriv
ed in Los Angeles as a 26year-old tourist. A cook in his
owti country, he soon found
a job as a kitchen helper and
stayed as an illegal alien.
Now, three-and-a-half years
later, hard work has made
him the assistant manager of
a downtown restaurant and
part-owner of a fast-food
shop in Orange County.
Not an unusual immigrant
success story in Los Ange
les, except that this new
comer is not from Mexico or
any other Latin American
countries that provide most .
of the area's recent immig
rants.'
His name is Shojiro and
he is from Japan, one of an
estimated 10,000 Japanese,
most of them youngand from
middle - class backgrounds,
living illegally in the Los An
geles area.
Most come as tourists or
students and remain for mon
ths or years after their visas
expire until they can get
green cards.
They are drawn to Los An
geles by its pleasant weather
and beaches, its Hollywood
image and North America's
largest Japanese - American
population, but it is a strong
er attraction that holds them
here, y
Japan's economic prow
ess, social cohesion and
political stability have made
it the envy of the world. Yet a
growing number of Japan's
young, unwilling or unable to
tolerate that nation's rigid
social system, are choosing
to live abroad indefinitely.
They are refugees from a
tightly structured system of
school and job examinations
that guide lifetime careers by
determining who enters the
nation' s top schools and cor
porations and who settles for
less. They are rebels from un
written but elaborate codes
of social behavior that gov
ern interpersonal relationship
through a lifetime bond of ob
ligations with fellow employ
ees, family and neighbours.
“America is easier than Ja
pan,” Shojiro said. “Here you
have the freedom to do what
ever you want to and succeed.
In Japan, that is the excep
tion rather than the rule.”
Other young exiles share
Shojiro's views. “We young
Japanese have the idea of
America as a place where
'there are no 'must situations,’
where you don't have to do
things according to custom,
without thinking,” a 24-yearold student and tour guide
said.
Coming from a country
where there are dozens of
ways for people to address
each other, depending on
whether they are superior,
inferior or equal in job or
social classification, many
find American informality re
freshing.
Their numbers have bur
geoned during the last five
years, paralleling the finan
cial ability of Japanese to
travel as tourists or students.
Many find work among the
shops, restaurants^ bars and
travel agencies that cater to
Japanese tourists, and those
in the tour groups who, like
themselves, eventually choo
se to stay.
