Wailua County Jail, Kauai Island


Sand Island Internment Camp, Honolulu, Oahu Island


This internee was among 39 men (mostly Issei) who were sent on the fourth transfer ship for internment in U.S. Army and Justice Department camps on the Mainland. These men were sent together from camp to camp, with some paroled to War Relocation Authority camps to reunite with family or transferred for repatriation to Japan. 

Also sent on the same ship were six Issei women internees: Kiku Horibe, Miyuki Kawasaki, Yoshie Miyao, Yuki Miyao, Haru Tanaka, and Tsuta Yamane. The women were kept apart from the men and had a different internment sequence from them.

Mankichi Miura immigrated from his native Yamaguchi Prefecture to the Hawaiian Islands in 1900. He settled on Kauai Island and before long was a successful shopkeeper in the town of Kapa'a. 

Throughout Miura's internment, son David Masao Miura served in the U.S. Army as a staff sergeant with the 100th Infantry Battalion. During the April 1945 Italian campaign, David Miura sustained severe injuries while fighting and was awarded the silver star and the bronze star for heroism. 

Mankichi Miura died on Kauai in 1948, three years after his return from internment. His store continues today as the surf shop Deja Vu Hawaii, managed by his fourth-generation descendants.
