Excerpt from an Interview with George Sakoguchi in 1976:
"My wife's house is practically across the street from my father's house in Japan. The parents used to talk, 'Well, I have a daughter in America and your son is in America...why not let them get married?
In those days, you always depended on the parents to match your spouse. That's how we got married. We didn't have any love affair or anything like that."
[George Sakoguchi]
