We catalog artifacts from the greater Japanfornia cultural diaspora. For the most part we are most interested in things originating in either Japan or California and make appearances in the other area of the country. | |||
Honestly, it's mainly a wiki for stuff that we find Japanesey, Cool Japan, Nikkei AF like [[:Category:Japanese Comic Book Characters|Japanese Comic Book Characters]] and [[Japanese in Pop Culture|Japanese in American Pop Culture]]. | |||
We tend to follow rabbit holes for Japanese and Japanese American character actors from the 70s and 80s. | |||
===Japanifornia Icons=== | |||
* [[Miyoshi Umeki]] the first Eastr-Asian actor to win an Academy Award for her role in Sayonara in 1957. | |||
* [[Larry Shinoda]], a Japanese American car designer who designed the Chevrolet Corvette and the Ford Mustang. | |||
* [[Yuri Kochiyama]] an American Civil Rights activist who worked with Malcom X in Harlem. | |||
* [[Hiroshi Fujiwara]], the Godfather of Streetwear from Japan, who collaborated with Tinker Hatfield and Mark Parker at Nike to produce the HTM sub-brand. | |||
* [[Steve Yano]], who with Dr. Dre and Tony A. Da Wizard, produced and sold the Roadium Mixed Tapes at Roadium Swap Meet in Gardena, California in the early 1980s. | |||
* [[Wataru Misaka]] broke the color barrier in professional basketball when he played three games for the New York Knicks in 1947. | |||
