U.S.-japan council

Dear Friends,
On behalf of the U.S.-Japan Council (USJC), we are pleased to share with you the highlightsof the Council’s work in 2014. We thank our generous supporters, dedicated Board members, active
and engaged Council Members, Associate Members and Friends, and a talented and hard-working
staff for another successful year. We accomplished much in 2014 through our work together.
TOMODACHI, which invests in the next generation of leaders, is the Council’s largest program
initiative. During the year, we supported over 50 programs in the United States and Japan, enabling
more than 1,300 young people to participate in cross-cultural exchanges.
We supported women’s leadership through a Womenomics event in March and another successful
Women in Business Summit in May. In July, we furthered state-prefecture economic collaboration
through the Governors’ Circle, welcoming six Japanese governors and their delegations of businessleaders to Silicon Valley.
At our Annual Conference in October, we took full advantage of Hawaii’s historical, cultural andstrategic significance in the Asia Pacific, bringing in leaders from all regions. The Conference
featured a unique culinary festival, bringing together renowned chefs from Hawaii and Japan tocollaborate. In November, with the vision to diversify the composition of American leaders connectedto the U.S.-Japan relationship, we invited Asian American state legislators to Japan. We also launcheda Business Advisory Board in Japan, expanding our circle of Japanese business leaders interested in
U.S.-Japan relations.
We are pleased to present the 2014 Annual Report in both English and Japanese. We will continue toexpand our programs in Japan, including hosting our Annual Conference in Tokyo for the first timeon November 9 and 10, 2015.
The uniqueness of USJC is in bringing together dedicated leaders from the United States andJapan across all sectors, to develop new opportunities and initiatives that will ensure the long-term
relevance and impact of the U.S.-Japan relationship.
We express our sincere appreciation to retiring Chairman of the Board Tom Iino, who served
from USJC’s inception in late 2008 until December 2014. Tom was bestowed the title Founding
Chairman by the Board of Directors, and will continue to serve as Board Member. We look forward
to continuing to work with members and supporters, each one of whom enables us to further
strengthen U.S.-Japan relations.

Sincerely,

Irene Hirano Inouye

If they see that, I don’t think it’s going to be thatdifficult— but they’d have to change their mindset.”—Ms. Kaoriko Kuge, Senior Anchor
and Correspondent, Fujisankei
Communications International, Inc.

This Summit, co-hosted by USJC and the American Chamber ofCommerce in Japan (ACCJ), was held in May. More than 700 attendees

necessary to support women in society. She also spoke at a related eventwith the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

“The recruitment of women must be increased and sustained at all levels. This must take hold in society; it is not enough for
only some women to shine.”—Prime Minister Shinzo Abe“We can all become architects of change in our own lives. Each time we stand up for ourselves, ask our husbands to help us alittle more, or pitch in for a colleague at work who has a sick child at home, we change the world around us—and those tinychanges add up.”
—Ambassador Caroline Kennedy

In Memoriam
The U.S.-Japan Council lost several dear friends in 2014. Please join us in remembering
these leaders in our community who promoted strong U.S.-Japan relations.
Howard H. BAKER, Jr.

Ambassador Baker was the United States Ambassador to Japan from 2001

to 2005. He formerly served as a U.S. Senator from Tennessee for 18 years, during
which time he was Senate Minority Leader (1977-81), then Senate Majority
Leader (1981-85). He later became the White House Chief of Staff to President
Ronald Reagan (1987-88). His awards include the Presidential Medal of Freedom(1984) and the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Paulownia Flowers, awarded
by the Government of Japan (2008). He was a member of the USJC Board of
Councilors.

Calvin K. MANSHIO
1947–2014
Mr. Manshio was a key figure in the Japanese American community. A

long-time, active USJC Council Member, Mr. Manshio had also served as the
President of both the Chicago Japanese American Council and the Japanese
Mutual Aid Society of Chicago. In 2009, he received a commendation from theJapanese Foreign Minister for his contributions to the U.S.-Japan relationship.
Mr. Manshio was a participant in the Japanese American Leadership Delegation
program and the Annual Consuls General and Japanese American Leaders
Meeting.

Betty J. OGAWA
1944–2014
Ms. Ogawa was an active member of the USJC community along withher husband, Mr. Hiromitsu Ogawa, who is a member of the USJC Board of
Councilors. The Ogawas resided in Tokyo for 20 years, where she was a crosscultural consultant specializing in Japan-U.S. orientations. The family has resided
more recently in Silicon Valley, where Ms. Ogawa was a Partner at Quest VenturePartners and served on the board of the Japan Society of Northern California.
In 2011, she and her husband were honored by the Association of Fundraising
Professionals, Silicon Valley for the over one million dollars they raised for theJapanese earthquake and tsunami relief. They hosted a Northern California
Members’ reception for USJC at their Atherton residence in 2013, and Mr. Ogawa
extended this generosity in July 2014 in honor of Ms. Ogawa.
The U.S.-Japan Council bids a fond farewell to the friends and supporters we’ve lost and will remember their
many enduring contributions.
