              <text>Dale Sato interviewed Toshiko Kubota on March 31, 2004 at her home in Gardena, California. Yoko Okunishi monitored the recording equipment and both Okunishi and Sato took notes during the interview. Toshiko Kubota was born in Wilmington but spent most of her life in Gardena, California where she was a single career woman. She describes a comfortable life in a close-knit family of three daughters. Kubota's father worked as a car salesman in Los Angeles while her mother worked as a seamstress. In 1942, the family volunteered for early incarceration at an incarceration camp at Manzanar, California. While incarcerated, Kubota graduated from Manzanar High School. When Manzanar was closed, she moved to Seabrook Farms in New Jersey to join her parents and worked there. Her family returned to Los Angeles in March 1946. Kubota retired as a financial analyst after working 46 years for the Los Angeles Unified School District. Kubota was interviewed as part of the South Bay History Project created by the South Bay Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League.</text>
