Biographical history
Richard Hiroji Yamanaka was born in Prince Rupert in 1921. In 1941 he left to attend Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario as he had received a three year scholarship. His father, H.K. Yamanaka, arrived in Prince Rupert in 1907 while working for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. He returned to Japan in 1913 to marry Isao and the couple settled in Prince Rupert. The family of eight lived in the downtown core and ran a general store at 815 3rd Avenue West. H.K. was also an employment agent. When the Japanese were evacuated from the North Coast in March 1942, the rest of the Yamanaka family left Prince Rupert. Richard, after graduating from Queens University, was hired by Canadian General Electric to design x-ray machines. After retirement, he was kept on as a salesman.
