Biography

Tomohide Tsukayama was a Honolulu bartender and US-born Japanese American. JCCH documents June 1942 arrest and US Immigration Station detention, Sand Island July 1942-March 1943, transfer to the mainland aboard Kota Agoeng March 1943, Topaz March-September 1943 and Tule Lake September 1943-November 1945. He returned to Honolulu aboard Shawnee in December 1945. His sisters Ruby Chiyo Harrison and Rose Mitsuko Tsukayama were separately confined at Honouliuli in 1944. This was US wartime civilian incarceration; the archive does not establish an individual criminal conviction. Source: https://incarceration.jcchawaii.org/internees/tsukayama-tomohide
