For FY 2016, I was not able to meet of my goals because I terminated my employment with Kyoto University in August. However, I was still able to present a paper on the “reality” of the Yellow Peril at a scholarly conference; acquire secondary works on the subject; and consult with an expert whose knowledge of some primary documents have now given me a new insight and direction for my work on the Yellow Peril. So far I achieved1)Began the examination of some of the materials related to Secretary of Navy Frank Knox;2)Completion of the “reality” of the Yellow Peril-the American-born Japanese who served the Imperial Japanese military during World War II through records found in the National Defense Ministry Archives in Tokyo;3)Acquisition of a few secondary works related to the Yellow Peril’s major proponent in the Fourth Estate, William Randolph Hearst;4)Consultation with Professor John J. Stephan, University of Hawaii-Manoa, regarding primary documents related to the Yellow PerilI changed my plans to exploring the ‘reality” of the Yellow Peril or those Nisei who served in the Imperial Japanese armed forces. The opportunity suddenly afforded itself and a surprise find at the National Defense Ministry Archives in Tokyo further prompted me to change my research plans. From now on, however, I will follow the research plan as outlined in my application even though I have terminated my services with Kyoto University. The project will result in another book, and the Ministry of Education’s generous funding of my research on the Yellow Peril will be acknowledged.

2016财年，我未能实现我的目标，因为我于8月终止了与京都大学的雇佣关系。不过，我还是能够在学术会议上发表一篇关于黄祸“现实”的论文；获得有关该主题的二次著作；并咨询了一位专家，他对一些主要文献的了解现在为我的黄祸工作提供了新的见解和方向。到目前为止，我实现了1）开始审查与海军部长弗兰克·诺克斯有关的一些材料；2）通过东京国防部档案馆中发现的记录，完成了黄祸的“现实”——美国出生的日本人在二战期间为日本帝国军队服务；3）获得了一些与第四等级黄祸主要支持者威廉·伦道夫·赫斯特有关的二手著作；4）咨询了约翰·J·赫斯特教授。斯蒂芬， 夏威夷马诺大学，关于与黄祸有关的主要文件我改变了计划去探索黄祸的“现实”或那些在日本帝国武装部队服役的尼塞伊。机会突然出现，东京国防部档案馆的意外发现进一步促使我改变了我的研究计划。不过，从现在开始，即使我已经终止了在京都大学的服务，我也会遵循我的申请中概述的研究计划。该项目 我将出版另一本书，教育部对我的黄祸研究的慷慨资助将得到承认。
