Mitsuko Ikeda
She is also listed as Dorothy Ikeda. She was born on 22 September 1922. She was a student at Fairview School of Commerce. Her family includes Somatsu Hoskino (father), and Teruko Hoskino (mother; nee Teruko Ikeda). (However, the name "Hoskino" is probably not correct, and both parents probably had the surname Ikeda.) Her home address is listed as 437 Powell Street, Vancouver, BC. She was forcibly uprooted to Slocan, BC.
Motherʼs casefile states that her husband was adopted into
the Ikeda family, and his death registration in the BC Archives states his name as
Somatsu Ikeda.

Terminology
Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
