Nakasone, Kiyoshi

In the summer of 1945, five young prisoners at the Honouliuli camp (Kiyoshi Nakasone, Ichiro Oshima, Hatsuo Oshiro, Susumu Tokuhara, and George Uehara) were involved in an altercation with an elderly Issei internee (Goro Yoshida) over the latter's assertion that Japan was losing the ongoing war. The five young men were sent to Tule Lake within a few weeks of the event, making theirs the last group of Hawaii internees to be transferred to the Mainland before the end of the war.
