Birthplace
Edward Toru Horikiri. I was born in 1929, November 2nd, in Little Tokyo, at 305 East Second street. That used to be Ex-Tokyo Bank, now it's Union Bank. Used to be over the New York Hotel, and my father was running the New York Hotel, so I was born there. At 18 months old, my parents decided to go back to Japan, so I went with them.
