Toshiko D'Elia
Toshiko D'Elia (''née'' Kishimoto) (January 2, 1930 – February 19, 2014) was an American Masters athletics long distance running legend. She was a member of the 1996 inaugural class of the Masters division of the USATF National Track and Field Hall of Fame.〔(USATF - Masters Hall of Fame )〕 She holds numerous American long distance running records, primarily in the W75 age division.〔(USATF - Statistics - Records )〕
==Early life==
D'Elia was born in Kyoto, Japan. As a child she suffered through near starvation food rationing and a controlling male dominated Japanese society. For example, when she received a Fulbright Scholarship to study in the United States and asked her father to pay for the trip he said that he would rather spend the money on a new horse than waste it on an education for a female.〔
Encouraged by her mother's wishes for a better life and through determination she went after her own independence.〔(First Marathons: Personal Encounters with the 26.2-Mile Monster By Gail Kislevitz P90 )〕 She met an orphaned deaf boy at a Catholic convent in Kyoto and from that developed a passion for educating the deaf. After graduating from Tsuda College in Tokyo, she could find no Special Education training available in post World War II Japan and came to Syracuse University in 1951 as a Fulbright Scholar. She had a brief marriage to an American, that left her as a single mother in 1955. When she tried to return to Japan with her child her father said that she had disgraced the family and must put her daughter up for adoption, but her mother gave her money to return to the U.S. and start a new life.〔 Staying in the U.S. she met and married Italian-American pianist Manfred D'Elia, who had a passion for mountain climbing, and settled in Ridgewood, New Jersey.
