- Amy Watanabe is a cute, Japanese-American college-coed whose father and grandfather are both Japanese. While she has never been to Japan herself, she holds a deep love for the country and has dreamed of going there to study. As fate would have it, that chance comes and she excitedly goes to Japan to stay with a distant relative, "Uncle Ken". When she arrives, there is quite the "culture shock" as the Japan of her grandfather's stories is so much more different than what she was expecting. Yet despite her difficulties adapting and some of the prejudice she encounters she begins to win the hearts of those around her and re-instills the virtues of "Yamato Damashi" (Japanese Spirit) and "Nihon No Wa" (Japanese Harmony) in the small community she lives in. Isn't it ironic that it takes a foreigner to show the Japanese how to "be Japanese".—James Maruyama
