Kosaburo Shimizu was born in Japan in 1893 and immigrated to British Columbia in 1907 where he was employed as a houseboy while attending the Royal City High School. Upon high school graduation in 1913 he taught English at the New Westminster Japanese Methodist Church. Though his father wanted him to join the workforce to help support the family, Kosaburo Shimizu was determined to attend university. Though he debated attending university in Japan, when he learned that he would be subject to conscription if he returned to the country he decided to stay in North America.

Kosaburo Shimizu attended UBC in 1915 and continued his studies with an M.A. in English Literature from Harvard University in 1924. He was later ordained as a United Church minister and became the pastor of the Vancouver Japanese United Church in 1926. Throughout the 20’s and 30’s he worked to increase the Japanese Christian fellowship and bridge rifts between generations and cultures. During the Second World War Shimizu was relocated by the federal government to an internment camp in Kaslo B.C. After the war he moved to Toronto where he met and married his wife Hide Shimizu (née Hyodo) and founded the Japanese United Church’s work in the Church of all Nations.

Hide Shimizu was born in Vancouver on May 11, 1908 to parents Hideichi Hyodo and Toshi Hyodo. Hide completed her grade school education and teacher’s training in Vancouver, B.C. By the age of 18, she was the first and only Japanese Canadian to hold a teaching certificate. From 1926-1944 she taught classes of Japanese Canadian students at Lord Byng school in Steveston, B.C. She was instrumental in organizing the education of Japanese Canadian students in B.C. throughout the Canadian Government’s WWII Japanese internment programme. Following the war, Hide moved to Ontario where she married Rev. Kosaburo Shimizu in 1948. In Ontario, Hide became an active member of several Japanese Canadian interest groups, including the Nisei Church Board, the Nisei Women’s Club, the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC) and the Japanese Canadian Citizen’s Association (JCCA), the Momiji Health Care Society and the Nipponia Home for Japanese Canadian seniors.

Hide would later be recognized by the Canadian Government’s Women’s History Month as the first Japanese Canadian teacher. She was admitted to the Order of Canada in 1982 for her outstanding contributions to early Japanese Canadian education, and awarded the Order of the Precious Crown by the Japanese Government in 1983. Hide was also formally recognized by the NAJC and other Japanese Canadian groups for her lifelong contributions to Japanese Canadian society. She died in 1999 at the age of 91.
