She grew up in Brooklyn and later in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. Starting at age 5, she worked as a cashier and hostess for her father’s Nikko restaurants. Her favorite pastimes were going to the “picture shows,” bowling and to Yankee Stadium, where she attended every Ladies’ Day for a nickel. She was active in the Japanese American Shudokai (later Japanese American United) Church, and her first job was as secretary for the National Council of Churches office on Riverside Drive.
