Judge’s Order on Homelessness Impacts Little Tokyo Posted On A homeless encampment on Toriumi Plaza in Little Tokyo. Rafu Staff Report Last month in the same week, three homeless men were found dead on the streets of Little Tokyo. There were no flowers, no hymns  only sadness and a crushing feeling of helplessness. One man, who died of a drug overdose, was living in a large encampment of about 25-30 tents on Toriumi Plaza above the Aiso Street Parking Garage on First Street. Until six months ago, that encampment didn’t exist. Merchants and office workers, getting back to business in January and February after sheltering at home during the pandemic, were shocked to find a sea of tents and tarps blanketing a place named for Rev. Howard Toriumi, a man who made saving Little Tokyo his personal mission.
