Perry, former Consul of Japan in Los Angeles Yuko
Kaifu bids farewell to about 200 community members
at her retirement party held last Wednesday in Little
Tokyo. She had worked at the position for more than
five years and is leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
of Japan to stay in Los Angeles and spend more time
with her family. Although she doesn’t have immediate
plans to go back to work, Kaifu wishes to continue to
be involved in supporting U.S.-Japan relations.
