• On the launch of the new Nichi Bei Foundation — publishers of the first nonprofit ethnic newspaper of its kind in the country, the Nichi Bei Weekly — we are raising much-needed funds in order to keep the Japanese American community connected, informed and empowered.

• We will be watching Japanese American catcher Kurt Suzuki and the Oakland A’s take on Japanese baseball legend Ichiro Suzuki and the Seattle Mariners, which is managed by the Bay Area’s own Don Wakamatsu, the first Asian American manager in Major League Baseball.
