At random: The first Japanese prisoner of war captured by the Americans was Kazuo Sakamaki, an ensign in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was captured on the morning of December 7, 1941. Sakamaki had set an explosive charge to destroy his disabled submarine, which had been trapped on Waimanalo Beach. When the explosives failed to go off, he swam to the bottom of the submarine to investigate the cause of the failure and became unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Sakamaki was found by a Hawaiian soldier, David Akui, and was taken into military custody. When he awoke, he found himself in a hospital under American armed guard. After the war he returned to Japan and found work with the Toyota Motor Corporation before retiring in 1987. Sakamaki died on November 29, 1999, aged 81.

Yes, she's my Granddaughter. She's 5 years old.

I shot the pic at a recent picnic. I almost always have my trusty Nikon with me.

I had the camera at table level waiting for the right moment. Brianna happened to turn her head. She wasn't ready for the shot. In the next moment she realized the camera was there and "posed" and smiled.

I cropped out almost all of the background and enlarged her face for the full effect.

Brianna's eyes are her best feature.

I don't know about that grandpa, they seem to go well with the rest of her face...she is very pretty.
