Sono Osato
Sono Osato (born August 29, 1919 in Omaha, Nebraska) is an American dancer and actress of Japanese and European descent.〔''Distant Dances'' (1980), autobiography by Sono Osato〕
==Early life==
Her Japanese father, Shoji Osato (1885-1955), and her Irish-French Canadian mother, Frances Fitzpatrick (1897-1954), were the caretakers of the Phoenix Pavilion and its Japanese garden, both of which had been built for World's Columbian Exposition in 1893 from 1935 to 1941. Japanese-Americans were forbidden from traveling east of Chicago during World War II; as a result, her father was interned in Chicago under the United States Government's Japanese American Internment policy.〔(Old New York Stories: "Victor Elmaleh Interview - FOUNDER OF WORLDWIDE VOLKSWAGEN, SUCCESSFUL ARTIST PIANIST AND NATIONAL SQUASH AND HANDBALL CHAMPION- TALKS OF HANDBALL IN BRIGHTON BEACH IN THE 1930S" ) June 26, 2009〕
Sono Osato was the oldest of three siblings; her given name is Japanese for "garden".〔The Garden of the Phoenix:

Karr, Jr. Published in The Journal of the The North American Japanese Garden Association, Issue No. 1, 2013〕 She had two siblings. Teru, her younger sister, married a U.S. naval officer and started a family in Norfolk, Virginia. Timothy, her younger brother, upon turning eighteen years-old in 1943, joined the 442nd Regimental Combat Team of the United States Army to fight on the front lines in Europe.〔
