==Early life==
Roy Hirabayashi was born in Berkeley, California in 1951.〔http://www.discovernikkei.org/en/interviews/profiles/60/“Roy Hirabayashi” Discover Nikkei: Japanese Migrants and their Descendants. Japanese American National Museum, 2010. Web. 5 May 2010.〕 His parents were also born in the United States (kibei); however, they were sent to Japan as young children where they adopted Japanese culture and traditions.
Roy grew up in east Oakland, California and was active in the Oakland Buddhist Temple where he and his family worshiped. Roy’s first introduction to the taiko drum was at the temple’s summer Obon Festival.〔
Hirabayashi attended San Jose State beginning in 1969.〔 At the time, San Jose State was a mecca for anti-war protests. So much, in fact, that the school was in constant threat of being shut down due to strikes by teachers and students alike.〔http://reocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/2891/Vietnam.html“A Campus In Crisis: The Vietnam Protests at San Jose State University” Retro Cities. Web. 5 May 2010.〕 This inspired Roy to learn more about his roots as a Japanese-American. Hirabayashi became interested in the social sciences and worked in the Asian American studies program at San Jose State.
