Abstract: This collection includes photographs from Ted Tsukiyama's time serving with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the Military
Intelligence Service in World War II. There are also a lot of photographs from his childhood and time before World War II
in Hawaii.
This collection includes an album that depicts Ted Tsukiyama's life from early childhood, adolescence and high school to his
military experiences and higher education. Photographs include everyday life in Hawaii, family photographs, high school class
photographs, photographs depicting both travel and military training and time with the Varsity Victory Volunteers. Two documents
include honorable discharge from Hawaii Territorial Guard and certificate of recognition as a Varsity Victory Volunteer.
Ted Tsukiyama was born December 13, 1920 and grew up in Kaimuki, Oahu, the second youngest in a family of five siblings. A
graduate of Roosevelt High School, Tsukiyama went on to enroll at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1939. His college education
interrupted by the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the United States entry into World War II, Tsukiyama became a founding member
of the first volunteer all-Nisei unit of WWII, the Varsity Victory Volunteers, and went on to join what would become the famed
442nd Regimental Combat Team. Tsukiyama was discharged in 1946 and, thanks to the GI Bill, continued his education, ultimately
graduating from Yale Law School. He lives in Hawaii currently.
