==Early life==
Mr. Shiomi's parents were among the many Canadians of Japanese descent who were forced into internment camps during World War II. They had previously lived in Vancouver, British Columbia; however, they moved to Toronto after their release and soon thereafter gave birth to their son, Rickey Allan Shiomi, in 1947. Shiomi was raised there and graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in history in 1970.〔An inventory of his papers in The Library of the University of British Columbia Special Collections Division.〕
After graduation he continued his education in British Columbia, receiving a teaching diploma from Simon Fraser University. He then went on to travel the world, teaching in Japan and Hong Kong for one year before returning home to Canada where he became a prominent member of the Japanese Canadian community. One of the projects he was involved with was organizing the Powell Street Festival, and he edited a film titled ''The First 100 Years'' which was based upon a slide show, and designed to teach children about Japanese Canadian history. An active member of the Japanese Canadian Citizen's Association, Shiomi helped edit ''Inalienable Rice: A Chinese & Japanese Canadian Anthology.''〔
During his time in Vancouver, Shiomi met up with playwrights David Henry Hwang and Philip Kan Gotanda.〔Royce, Graydon. "Theater Mu fishes for bigger things; 'The Walleye Kid' represents a watershed moment for an Asian-American troupe that is growing in size and influence.(ENTERTAINMENT)." Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN) (Jan 13, 2008): 01F. General Reference Center Gold. Gale.〕 Gotanda read one of Shiomi's short stories about a Japanese Canadian detective and suggested he submit the story for adaptation to the stage to the Asian American Theater Workshop in San Francisco. Shiomi followed Gotanda's advice and wrote ''Yellow Fever''.〔
