Hiroshi Kashiwagi

Playwright, poet & actor

"For Kashiwagi, the consequences of decisions he made when he was 19 -- he resisted answering a loyalty questionnaire administered by camp officials out of protest and even renounced his citizenship for a time before getting it back -- indelibly altered his life and shaped his artistic expression."
Kashiwagi's testimony before the Commission on Wartime Relocation & Internment of Civilians, San Francisco, 1981. Reprinted from his book, Swimming in the American.
