163 pages of photocopied documents obtained via the Freedom of Information Act request in November of 2016. The documents are mostly from the Department of Justice and the FBI. -------------------- Photocopy of a declassified report on Keizaburo Koyama. This page further elaborates that Confidential Informant SE N-1 had on several occasions mis-translated Japanese names. In this case, he mistook the name "Iwao Oyama" for Keizaburo Koyama. The informant said that his original source for the names, a Japanese newspaper, had since been destroyed. The informant stated that Koyama came to the United States in 1915, that Kei's wife Teru followed in 1918, and that Kei's son was born in Oregon in 1928. The informant said that Koyama was on the executive committee of the Japanese Association of Portland in 1938-39, worked as a dentist in Portland (Nihonmachi), and resided in southeast Portland. The informant advised the FBI that newspaper articles in the G.N. Daily News and the N.S. Times, both dated January 28, 1941, indicated that "drastic changes" were taking place in the Portland Japanese Association's internal structure, that Koyama was appointed as a member of the research committee, and that he was one of the consuls for the Japanese Golf Club for Portland. |
