Mas Kawaguchi wasn’t a big storyteller.
So, he rarely brought up his remarkable journey.
Not even his family members heard much about how he was born in British Columbia in 1935, sent to an internment camp for four years in his native country at age 7 because of his ethnicity, moved across the Pacific Ocean to a foreign country at age 12, worked overnight to help support the family as a young teenager, moved back overseas alone at age 17 to the country that once interned him and worked full time saving money to bring the rest of his family back to Canada one by one.
