history

Taizo's parents got married in an economic high-growth period of Japan. And Taizo Nabekura had come into the world as their first child in 1975.

Taizo's father Meiichi Nabekura was born in Manchuria in 1943.
Taizo's paternal grandfather Mitsushi Nabekura was born in Kagoshima. He was employed in South Manchuria Railways Co. then. And he got married Taizo's grandmother Sei in Manchukuo in prewar days. In 1945, Japan was defeated and grandfather was repatriated with his family -- his wife and Taizo's father, aunt -- from Manchuria.

Taizo's mother Akiko was born in Kagoshima in 1947 just immediately after the end of the war. Her maiden name is Fujita. And both grandmothers are first cousins. Taizo's maternal grandmother Isa brought up her four daughters including his mother without husband in postwar Japan, because his maternal grandfather Noboru Fujita had passed away in his youth.
