Government saw fit. after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. to send him to a Japanese American detention camp in Nebraska. he retained his faith in the ultimate Justice of America. He wrote in 1969: It Is indeed a privilege to live and work in such a country. In pursuance of this belief he was one of the first to apply and qualify for American citizenship when the naturalization bar against Orientals was lifted by the WalterMcCarran Act in 1963. He then founded the Naturalization Encouragement Association of Honolulu and the Citizen Study Club of Oahu. to encourage other alien residents to become American citizens. I had the great privilege of serving with Mr. Toyama on both of these worthy organizations and was thoroughly impressed by his boundless energy and exceptional organizational ability.
