UCLA RESEARCHER'S PIONEERING TRANSPLANT WORK SAVED COUNTLESS LIVES
Watch the video: http://abc7.com/1232016/

He and his family were interred at Japanese Relocation Center during WWII.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, his father was forced to sell his successful cake shop for a pittance, and, along with all other West Coast Japanese Americans, the Terasakis were sent to concentration camps

Terasaki donated big money to UCLA and other philanthropic groups.
