MIYAHIRA FAMILY
Ryokou was born on April 13, 1938, and Emiko was born on January 5, 1943.  They were married on December 9, 1963, and have five children: Yoshinori 40, Hiroyuki 39, Shikako 37, Hiroko 34,
Noriko 31.  They currently run a local newspaper business in Yomitan, Okinawa.
Noriko parents have accepted me with open arms.  Considering I am the first foreigner to marry within the Miyahira family, I feel very lucky to have had her parents and family accept me into their family so graciously.
