Where is my father?
Yovichi (Yoichi?) Perez is "Japinoy," meaning of Filipino-Japanese ancestry. He saw a letter from a Japinoy like himself, also looking for his father, so he thought he would try his luck with us.
Y was abandoned by his Japanese father 16 years ago. He tried to find him through a foundation in the Philippines, but his mother does not have his father's koseki tohon, or family registration. This is not surprising as koseki tohon are filed officially in Japanese hometowns.
However, Y remains hopeful.
