	Hirumi Ishikawa was born in 1930 and spent her teenage years in a Japanese interment camp with her family. It was in the camp that she Changed, her parents trying hard to guide her through it despite their lack of first-hand experience, but eventually she made contact with other Japanese Uratha and joined them on their release. She learned all she could and then returned to San Francisco and fought to get back the property that her grandfather had owned, increasing awareness of the injustice of the interment and making friends within the struggling remains of Japantown. Once she had the locus back, she tended it on her own for many years with only the occasional assistance of other members of her lodge in the Bay Area. She married another refugee from the interment who started a restaurant and they had several children. Her husband died in the eighties of a stroke and none of her children seemed to inherit the wolf-blood. At about the same time, she found two new Uratha and formed a pack. One Changed in the neighborhood and Hirumi helped her through it. The other had Changed in Japan and she found him through his frequent visits to the Buddhist temple. The pack claimed an actual territory centered on Japantown immediately after. Toward the end of the century, her granddaughter unexpectedly Changed and she brought her into the pack. She still runs her husband's restaurant (called Okasan, or "mother") and is well-known in the city for her fine traditional rustic Japanese cuisine.

One Changed in the neighborhood and Hirumi helped her through it. The other had Changed in Japan and she found him through his frequent visits to the Buddhist temple. The pack claimed an actual territory centered on Japantown immediately after. Toward the end of the century, her granddaughter unexpectedly Changed and she brought her into the pack.
