AMERASIA from page 1
^ Nishikawa, who is Hawaiian-
*' born and American-raised, dis¬
cussed his first visit to Japan and
how hard, it is to reconcile his
American background with his
Japanese ancestry.
the, first of Nishikawa's
sketches was about an Asian
American man who goes to a bar
and meets a woman, then almost
gets into a fight with the woman's
boyfriend.
Another sketch focused on a
rather and son, both Japanese-
American, who visit a sushi bar
and the conflict that ensues be¬
tween them.
The son, a college boy from
California, enjoys visiting sushi
bars. His father, a conservative
man from Texas, does not under¬
stand why his son is so interested
in going to sushi bars.
The son says, "sushi is hip, if s
in and it's high protein" and the
father responds that he hates raw
fish. ^
In a more emotional sketch
titled "UndeBlackie," named after
Nishikawa's uncle who served in
the 442nd Regiment, the all-Japa¬
nese American regiment during
World War H, Nishikawa por¬
trayed a veteran of the 442nd
regiment who is recalling his
wartime experiences.

Nishikawa said that although his
Uncle Blackie survived the war
and moved back to Hawaii with
his family, all was not perfect.
Despite his calm exterior,
Nishikawa said that his uncle "was
having a hard time keeping the
pain in. He drank all the time
because of his memories of the
war."
Nishikawa said that his uncle
finally took his life at Punchbowl
Cemetery in Hawaii, where many
of the 442nd veterans were bur¬
ied.
In Nishikawa's sketch, he
slipped into the role of his uncle
talking with the dead veterans at
the cemetery.

Nishikawa varied his voice, which
ranged from a Texan accent to a
Hawaiian accent.

voicesin the sketches/ Nishikawa
said.

and images," he said. "I like giv¬
ing the audience a perception of

ber of modern Asian American
