Biography
Mankichi Goto was an Issei Honolulu resident and owner of a building contracting company. The visible JCCH biography gives his birth year as 1875, while embedded source metadata gives 1876; this discrepancy remains unresolved. His individual record documents December 1941 arrest, Sand Island detention, March 1942 mainland transfer, Angel Island March-April 1942, Fort Sill April-May 1942, Camp Livingston June 1942-June 1943, Fort Missoula June 1943-April 1944 and Santa Fe April 1944-October 1945. He returned to Hawaii aboard Yarmouth in November 1945. This was administrative US wartime civilian detention in the context of Japanese ancestry. No individual criminal conviction, imposed judicial sentence or exact arrest or release day is established. Source: https://incarceration.jcchawaii.org/internees/goto-mankichi
