Jim Akutsu, considered by some to be the inspiration for John Okada's No-No Boy, resisted the draft and argued that he had no obligation to serve the US military because he was classified as an enemy alien. Hiroshi Kashiwagi renounced his United States citizenship and refused to fill out the 'loyalty questionnaire' required by the US government. He and his family were segregated by the government and ostracized by the Japanese American community for being 'disloyal.'

These three stories show the devastating effects of the imprisonment, but also how widespread and varied the resistance was"--Provided by publisher.
