By the late 1930s, he was a shop keeper and community leader in the provincial town of Ica, and witnessed outbreaks of riots and looting stemming from anti-Japanese business competition. It is estimated that there were around 26,000 people of Japanese descent in Peru at the beginning of World War II. Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Imperial Japan, Higashide was seized by police and forcibly deported to the United States along with other\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Japanese_Latin_Americans\" title=\"Japanese Latin Americans\">\n Latin American Japanese\n </a>\n .

Following his release, Higashide stayed in the U.S. and eventually became a citizen.
