Tsukiyama was born on December 13, 1920, in Kaimuki , a neighborhood in Honolulu, Hawaii . He was raised in Japan until he was 6 years old, when he moved back to Hawaii. He graduated from Roosevelt High School .[2]
When Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941, he was a student at the University of Hawaiʻi and a member of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps . After the attack, he was a member of the Hawaii Territorial Guard , until all Japanese Americans in the Guard were dismissed from service because of their ancestry. He joined the newly-formed Varsity Victory Volunteers , then the 442nd Regimental Combat Team . Once he entered the military, he was assigned to the Military Intelligence Service , where he was ordered to serve in Burma , listening in on radio transmissions from the Japanese Air Force .[3]
When World War II ended, Tsukiyama returned to his studies, transferring to Indiana University . He then attended Yale Law School , and was the first Japanese American to do so.[4] [5]
