Biography
George Takao Matsuda was a Nisei Japanese American from Wailuku, Maui, and a child of Ryugen and Yoshiko Matsuda. JCCH records the birth year as 1926 without an exact date. The individual record documents January 1943 mainland transfer aboard Kota Agoeng, confinement at Jerome February 1943-May 1944 and Tule Lake May 1944-November 1945, and return to Honolulu aboard Shawnee in December 1945. This was administrative wartime family confinement in the context of Japanese ancestry; the archive establishes no individual criminal conviction. This timeline is distinct from the December 1941 arrest of the father. Source: https://incarceration.jcchawaii.org/internees/matsuda-george-takao
