In commemoration of the Aug. 15, 1945 Japan surrender in the Pacific War, NHK is presenting a documentary about the Japanese-American interpreters who worked with the American military during and after World War II.
"Nihon to Ta-ttakatta Nikkeijin (Japanese-Americans Who Fought Against Japan)" (BS1, Monday, 10:10 p.m.) focuses on Harry Fukuhara, who moved from Japan with his family to California before WWII.
When his father died, his mother and brother moved back to Japan while Harry remained to continue his education. He was there when the war broke out in 1941.
