Story<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in America, Nisei Kenji Amoh (Shun Oguri) grew up in Japan, studied at UCLA, and worked as a journalist for Kashu Shinpo, a Japanese-language newspaper in Los Angeles.
\nIn his editorial, he had written \u201cTo be an upstanding American citizen, one must make an effort to be a good Japanese,\u201d and had lived his life to uphold that belief.
\nHowever, once the Pacific War started, Kenji\u2019s environment takes a drastic change. His family and other Nikkei families are sent to the Manzanar internment camp, forced into a confined life. The Niseis are pressured in choosing which country to be loyal to America or Japan. His younger brother (Mackenyu) volunteers to be part of the 442nd Regiment, while Kenji joins the Military Intelligence Service as a linguist in hopes to end the war early with information warfare.
\nMeanwhile, his other younger brother (Kengo Kora) who had been studying in Japan when the war broke out is drafted in the Japanese military and sent to the Philippines.
\nKenji himself is also sent there as the leader of the linguist soldiers\u2026
\nWhat is the fate of Kenji, forced in-between his two homelands\u2014Japan and America!?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”17494″ img_size=”275 x 183″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”17495″ img_size=”275 x 183″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”4\/6″][vc_single_image image=”17488″ img_size=”large”][vc_btn title=”Official Website” style=”3d” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tv-tokyo.co.jp%2Ffutatsunosokoku%2F|||”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
