Kuranosuke Kato
He was born on 01 April 1886. He was a laundryman employed by Kiyoshi Shinmoto. His home address is listed as Campbell River, BC. He was forcibly uprooted to Sandon, BC. He was exiled to Japan on 02 August 1946.
The case file lists the employer as
“Kiyoshi Shimoto”but this is clearly an error based on other casefiles for the Shinmoto family.

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.
