         <p>Mary Shizuko Mitsueda Muranishi (1921-1993) was a Japanese American woman in California. She was the daughter of first generation (Japanese: Issei) immigrant parents and truck farmers Mitsuzo Mitsueda (1884-1979) and Sachi Mitsueda (1893-1968). Her other second generation (Japanese: Nisei) siblings included her older brothers Fred Chitoshi Mitsueda (1916-1980), Robert Matao Mitsueda (1917-2011), and Takashi Mitsueda (1919-2005) as well as younger sister Bonnie Haruko Mitsueda Horino (1923-2012). The Mitsueda family lived in San Gabriel in 1920 as well as in Gardena in 1930 and in the Inglewood neighborhood of Los Angeles in 1940. During World War II the United States government incarcerated the family with other Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans at the Rohwer Relocation Center concentration camp in southeastern Arkansas. After World War II, she moved to Chicago, Illinois, and met William Hitoshi Muranishi (1918-1987); they married in March 1945 in Arizona. They lived in Berkeley, California, from approximately 1954 and had two sons, William Hitoshi Muranishi (born 1954) and Leslie Eldon Muranishi (1957-2012).</p>
