In 1974, George R. Ariyoshi became the first person of Japanese ancestry in United States history to assume office of state governor. In his autobiography, he writes in his own passionate words about his life as a second generation Japanese living in Hawaii, his childhood memories with his impoverished but tight-knit family, how he became the governor of Hawaii, and his experiences in office.
Larry Greenberg, CEO of Urban Connections, a Tokyo-based custom publishing and communication services firm, states that George Ariyoshi exhibits both Japanese pride and American generosity. Governor Ariyoshi's spirit as a pioneer, the first state governor of Japanese ancestry, resonates with Mr. Greenberg. This year, 2010, marks Urban Connections' 20th anniversary, and it is the same year in which Governor Ariyoshi has realized his lifelong dream: to publish his autobiography in Japanese.
"I hope this becomes a great opportunity for Japanese people to learn about the remarkable achievements of Governor Ariyoshi." (Larry Greenberg)
