Born in 1938 in Maehara, Uruma City, as the second son of six siblings. He was seven years old at the time of the war, but has no memory of starting elementary school. When the war began, American naval bombardment rained down from the sea, and he, his father, mother, and siblings—a family of eight—left their home in Uruma City for Onna Village, where relatives lived.
