Japanese takeovers
hit record high
TOKYO. — Corporate take­
overs by Japanese enter­
prises overseas hit a record
404 cases in 1989, up 22 per­
cent over 314 in 1988, Yamaichi Securities reported re­
cently.
Among major deals were a
record $3.4 billion takeover
of Columbia Pictures Enter­
tainment Inc. of the United
States by Sony Corp, and Mit­
subishi Estate's aquisition
of a majority equity in the
Rockefeller Group Inc.
Yamaichi said its survey
showed that Japanese take­
overs of foreign firms in 1989
accounted for 61.3 percent of
the total mergers and acqui­
sitions reported in 1989.
The company said the num­
ber of mergers and acquisi­
tions involving Japanese cor­
porations at home and abroad
in 1989 totaled 659, valued
at 3.074 trillion yen ($212
billion).

Derogatory Japanese
words put to rest
TOKYO. — Two textbooks
and a Japanese-English dic­
tionary published by the Cul­
tural Affairs Agency in 1989
were shelved because they
listed derogatory Japanese
words, it was recently re­
vealed by Eizaburo Maejima,
Upper House member.
The words were haijin (dis­
abled) and mekura (blind).
The former actually means
people who cannot contri­
bute to the world because
they are disabled and the
latter irrational or stupid
people.
Maejima said foreigners
frequently used these terms
without hesitation, some hav­
ing studied Japanese with
government-published texts.
The publishing and broad­
casting circles agreed to
avoid these terms in 1981, the
International Year of Disabl­
ed Persons accord proposed
by the United Nations.

ed in Metropolitan Toronto,
will faciliate the develop­
ment, sharing and application
of knowledge and expertise
to contribute to the elimina­
tion of racism and all forms of
racial discrimination in Cana­
dian society.
The Foundation will receive
an endownment of $24 million
from the government of Ca­
nada. Half of this sum, $12
million is provided on behalf
of the Japanese Canadian
community, as announced by
the Prime Minister on Sept.
22,1988, in the context of the
Japanese Canadian Redress
Agreement.
“The tabling of this legisla­
tion, promised in the Speech
from the Throne, underlines
and strengthens the commit­
ment to equality for all Cana­
dians expressed in the Cana­
dian Charter of Rights and
Freedoms and the Canadian
Multiculturalism Act,” said
Mr. Weiner. “It will play a
vital role in the national
effort to rid our society of the
scourges of racism and racial
discrimination by undertak­
ing research, raising public
awareness, and assisting
business, labor, government,
and public and private institu­
tions in their efforts in this
area.”
“This is in keeping with the
government's commitment
to help counter discrimina­
tion and injustice and to en­
sure that the principles of
justice and equality in Cana­
da are reaffirmed,” he added.

The Foundation will serve
as a national resource for
community groups, research­
ers and the general public to
further understanding of
racism and racial discrimina­
tion in Canadian society and
to develop effective race rela­
tions policies and programs.
The Foundation will ensure
that Canadians in all parts of
the country have access to its
facilities and services.
Mr. Weiner noted that the
Foundation will be managed
by a Board of Directors.
In recommending Board ap­
pointments, Mr. Weiner said
that he will consult widely,
taking into account Canada's
multicultural character, to en­
sure that the Board has the
necessary skills and exper­
tise.

By LYNN NAWATA
(Moshi Moshl)

After a year and a half in
Japan, I must admit that it
strikes me as being some­
what odd that I am still asked
this question. Frequently. I
suppose it shouldn't strike
me as being so odd except
for the fact I am a Japanese
Canadian.
Each year in Japan certain
television stations like to
choose what they consider
to be the so-called “catch­
word” of the year. The year
before, it was “perestroika”.
This past year the catch-word
has been “internationaliza­
tion.” No one — at least, no
one I've talked to — really
seems to have a clear notion
of what the word means, yet
it is constantly being referred
to in speeches and seminars
from the prime minister right
down to school teachers and

Ryan Kuwabara of Ottawa 67s: better every time out

Ryan Kuwabara tagged
ninth best player in
Canada for NHL draft

HAMILTON, Ont.-Scouts

ing him perform for Ottawa
67s. Agents get dizzy just
thinking about the possibili­
ties.
For 17-year-old Hamilton
native Ryan Kuwabara, the
future looks pretty good in­
deed.
When his grandfather, Will,
first strapped a pair of ice
skates on the restless feet of
the Westmount high school
product, he initially display­
ed only a modest amount of
potential.
But over the last few years,
Kuwabara has undergone
quite the change.
“I don't know, I guess
something got into me,” says
the affable teenager of Japa­

nese and Scottish heritage. “I
just feel a little better every
time out.”
“A little better” is a gra­
cious but gross understate­
ment. Kuwabara's develop­
ment as a hockey player and
as a person has leapfrogged
as of late.
A solid two-way right wing­
er with Hamilton Kilty B's
last season (13-25-38 in 42
games), Kuwabara was rated
the 25th pick overall in the
Ontario Hockey League's
draft last May. The Ottawa
67s saw something in him
and scooped him up in the
first round — eight overall.
Smart team, the 67s.
With Ottawa this season,

I was hired by Odate City in
Akita Prefecture as an Eng­
lish teacher of the JET (Japan
Exchange and Teaching) Pro­
gramme in 1988.
Although the primary ob­
jective of the JET Programme
is to assist in the work
towards the improvement of
English education in Japan,
an equally important aim of
the programme is contribut­
ing to internationalization in

Japan.
Before coming to Japan, I
don't think many of us had
given internationalization
much thought — at least, I
hadn't.
Within the first month,
however, it soon became ap­
parent that especially in
small “inaka”-type cities like
Odate, the fact that there
were two (myself and an Am­
erican) foreign English teach­
ers living and working there
was providing more interna­
tionalization than the city had
ever known.
I teach at the nine city
junior high schools and,
almost without exception, I
am the first foreigner any of
my students ever met. And
— something I found and
still find interesting — even
though I am Japanese Cana­
dian, the Japanese consider
me to be 100% “gaijin”.
The question of my “gaijinness” has been the topic of,

A tribute to Noboru Yamamoto
Dear Noboru-san:
A few weeks ago, I attended the premiere stage production of your new
comedy, “Kaette koi yo”. Seated on rock hard chairs and contorting my body
out of shape in Oder to see at least the top half of the performers on stage was
agonizing, redeemed only by the very enjoyable comedy you presented.
Over the years, our community has been favoured by a number of your
musings with each offering progressively more entertaining than the pre*
vious. You have developed into a commendable playwrite. Your light-hearted

and tongue-in-cheek scripts, your directing and acting is a delight. The saving

grace of your ability to ad lib in tense, moments of forgetfulness by members
of the cast was wonderful to behold. Of the able cast, I applaud the sup­

porting actor, Chris Nomura, whose natural and perceptive performance cer­
tainly added to the hilarious situations.
I note a marked improvement in your English language pronunciation.
When I watch Japanese video tapes, I hear an alarming infusion of English
words creeping into the language. Their pronouciation is at times difficult
to comprehend and I wish their good intentions could merit a little more study
in elocution. However, in your instance, Noboru, please do not lose that char­

ming Japanese-accented English. I believe it is a partial key to the success

of your plays.
That you should devote so much of your time bringing us this entertain­
ment is highly commendable and appreciated, so I thank you for this enjoy­
able respite from our daily drudgery of chasing the almighty dollar.
Sincerely yours,

Kazuo Hamasaki

several conversations. The
conversations
usually go
something like this:
“Your
name
(Nawata)
sounds Japanese.”
“Yes — it is Japanese.”
“Oh, really? Is your father a
nikkei?”
“Yes, and so is my mother.”
“Your mother, too?!!”
“Yes. Both my mother and
my father are nikkei.”
“What about your grand­
parents?”
“Yes. All of my grandpar­
ents are nihon-jin.”
“You mean you're 100%
Japanese blood??!!”
At first I thought the reason
they had such a hard time
believing I really was of Ja­
panese blood was because I
spoke, dressed and behaved
like a westerner. After a year
and a half, however, I still
have these types of conversa­
tions — even when I'm
speaking only in Japanese

two countries could even be
counter-productive — in the
sense that it reinforces the
often-held Japanese view
that Japan is so unique that
no other country could pos­
sibly be like it and therefore
they must be completely dif­
ferent.
(Another favorite story of
mine is that of the American
woman who was asked by a
Japanese lady: “In Japan,
women are pregnant for nine
months. How about in Amer­
ica?”) Obviously, some peo­
ple are convinced that more
differences exist than one
would expect.

ask what they want me to talk

invariably: “We'd like you to
talk about the differences be­

Fair enough, I figure, and
for the first year that's what
I did do — trying to dispel
notions such as: Westeners
eat bread for all three meals
every day, the pine tree is
unique to Japan, and the big
shocker: Japan is the only
country that has seasons.
(One Japanese man informed
me with undisguised pride
that, “Japan has four distinct
seasons: spring, summer, fall
and winter.”)
Entering my second year,
however, I decided to change
my strategy. Informing a rural
Japanese audience about the
differences between Japan­
ese culture and Canadian cul­
ture may serve to correct
some cultural misconcep­
tions, but I'm not sure if it
qualifies as being interna­

to make it easier for foreign
companies to acquire Japan­

The planned easing of
foreign investment rules here
come after a stinging attack

• A foreign concern won't
have to register his bid with
the ministry 10 days before it
is made; instead, the bidder
will be required to place an
advertisement in the paper
and register the bid with the
ministry the day it is made.
• The bidder will be able to
buy shares directly rather
than through a representative
under the current rules.
• The number of days over
which the bid can take place
will be extended from the cur­
rent 30-day maximum.
However, a foreign com­
pany will still be required to
make the bid through a
Japanese representative,
although this could be a
lawyer rather than
a
securities firm or bank.
Japan has been stung in recenrrn’onffis by charges that
it is scooping up overseas
firms while slamming the
door shut on foreign acquisi­
tion of companies here.

game, notching 21 goals and
28 assists in 50 outings. His
stock is on the upswing at
such a speed that he's been
tagged by the National
League's central scouting
body as the fifth-best player
available in Ontario — ninth
in Canada — • for the upcom­
ing NHL draft in June.
All of that is enough to ex­
pand — even explode — the
head of any impressionable
youngster, but Kuwabara re­
mains calm, cool and remark­
ably collected.
“It's a matter of growing
up a bit and dealing with it,”
he says. “Sometimes I think,
‘All of a sudden I'm here al­
ready,’ but you just have to
keep proving yourself.”
Kuwabara says he “would­
n't be anywhere” without the
guidance of his grandfather,
who chose all of his grand­
son's hockey schools and
still offers tips to help im­
prove Ryan' s game.
An exceptional student
through high school, one
would think the distraction of
a new city, a heavier schedule
and a different school would
take its toll on the academic
portion of his swirling life.
It has. Kuwabara's 90 per
cent average at Westmount
high school last year has
plunged to 89 per cent at Ot­

tawa's Hillcrest high school
this term.
“The way he learns things
on the ice, you can see why
he's such a great student,”
says coach Brian Kilrea,
among the longest-serving
and most respected mentors
at the junior level in Canada.
“In my mind, there's no
doubt he's a (NHL) first

Students have what it takes

possible without our support.
Invest in Canada's future workforce by
providing a student with practical on-the-job work
experience.
Become a Challenge '90 employer — it's
good for students and it's good for business.

rounder for sure. He is what
every team is looking for, a
character player.”
Blessed with the right
amount of toughness, rea­
sonable speed and “tremen­
dously soft” hands, Kuwa­
bara has benefited from the
increased ice-time he's get­
ting at the major junior level,
said Kilrea.
“He's strong along the
boards, and very tough in
front of the net,” Kilrea says.
“I see nothing but good
things for him.”
Kuwabara, who is eyeing a
career on orthodonistry after
he hangs up the blades, has
no preference regarding
where he ends up on the NHL
map, but hints that he wouldn't mind teaming up with
Wayne Gretzky in Los Ange­
les. “As long as I can work to­

ward my schooling wherever I
go, it doesn 't matter at all.”
