Fujimura, Masako

Born on Kauai Island, Masako Fujimura left for Japan with her parents when she was six years old. She lived in Yamaguchi Prefecture for the next 20 years, before returning to Hawaii in the spring of 1941. In Honolulu, Fujimura worked as a maid for the family of a U.S. military intelligence officer until her arrest in April 1942. Along with Fujimura, only five other Japanese women from Hawaii were ever interned at Honouliuli. They were Irene Umeno Harada, Helen Shizuko Nakagawa, Haruko Takahashi, Yasue Takahashi, and Ryuto Tsuda.
