(upbeat guitar music)
- My grandpa would
hang out here in Little Tokyo
before World War Two and then he came back
after World War Two from
the internment camps.
We were disenfranchised
as a cultural group.
So we formed basketball
groups and sports groups,
which really brought our community closer,
which was why we continue
having Japanese-American leagues today.
We're at the Terasaki Budokan,
which is going be a gym
based in Little Tokyo.
My dad fundraised $30 million
to donate to the Budokan.
This is really important
to my family and my roots
and I hope that for the next generation,
it's important to theirs, as well.
Part of who I am is
getting people together
and what the Olympics does really well
is get people together
from around the world.
When people see my 'A' I hope to show
how tight our community is
and how much we support each other.
