Re: New American Pro in Japan
http://test.agagd.usgo.org/player/18117/ Too bad he never played against any US professionals.
My understanding is that he was born in North Carolina, lived much of his youth in Japan where he was in the top class of insei, and returned to the US for college.

The second page is an interview of him by someone else in his Japanese college go club.
