He stops the man and asks him why, and the man says that he is \"killing the man who killed my father.\" Taking him back to the station, David Toriyama (James Saito) tells his story, which is illustrated in flashback. He describes an idyllic prewar life in Mānoa with his older brother Kenji (Conrad Keola'ikaika Pratt) and Nisei parents James (Arnold Chun) and Martha (Hira Ambrosino) that is forever changed by the\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/December_7,_1941\" title=\"December 7, 1941\">\n attack on Pearl Harbor\n </a>\n . His father, a history teacher at Punahou School, is arrested while teaching class, while police and armed guards arrest the family. After being held in jail, the family is taken to\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Honouliuli_(detention_facility)\" title=\"Honouliuli (detention facility)\">\n Honouliuli\n </a>\n . Ten year old David's older brother Kenji, joins the\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/442nd_Regimental_Combat_Team\" title=\"442nd Regimental Combat Team\">\n 442nd Regimental Combat Team\n </a>\n and is killed in action. Meanwhile, while playing catch with his father, his father sees someone in their tent and goes to investigate. A gunshot is heard. When David gets to the tent, he sees Clark, a guard at Honouliuli, kneeling over his father holding a gun, with the family's samurai sword missing from its case. Though he had been trying to kill a man, McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin) and crew identify with Toriyama when his story largely checks out and when he turns out to be a decorated Korean War veteran. When McGarrett takes him home and promises to investigate his case, he finds a personal connection: a picture of his grandfather, who had been killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor, in the Toriyama photo album smiling with James Toriyama. Piecing together old records, physical evidence from the seventy year old crime, and an emotional visit to the Honouliuli site with David, the team solves the murder mystery.\n </p>\n <p>\n <i>\n Ho'onani Makuakane\n </i>\n was the tenth episode of the new\n <i>\n Hawaii Five-0'\n </i>\n s fourth season and first aired on December 13, 2013. The title translates to \"Honor Thy Father.\"\n </p>\n </div>\n </div>\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"Background_and_Historical_Accuracy\">\n <h2>\n <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Background_and_Historical_Accuracy\">\n Background and Historical Accuracy\n </span>\n </h2>\n <div class=\"section_content\">\n <p>\n Co-executive producer and co-writer Peter M. Lenkov learned of the Hawai'i internment story while doing background research for the series. \"It’s a powerful story,\" he told Mike Gordon of the\n <i>\n Honolulu Star-Advertiser\n </i>\n . \"And honestly, it’s a story most people don’t know about.\" When\n <i>\n Five-0\n </i>\n co-star sponsored performances of the one-man play\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/Hold These Truths (play)/\" title=\"Hold These Truths (play)\">\n Hold These Truths\n </a>\n </i>\n , about Japanese American exclusion protestor\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Gordon_Hirabayashi\" title=\"Gordon Hirabayashi\">\n Gordon Hirabayashi\n </a>\n , in Honolulu, Lenkov and the\n <i>\n Five-0\n </i>\n team were reminded of the local incarceration story and set out to do the episode. Co-executive producer Ken Solarz felt a special responsibility, \"as someone who had relatives who were lost in the Holocaust, to tell a story about people who were put in a camp.\"\n <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref1_1-0\">\n <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref1-1\">\n [1]\n </a>\n </sup>\n </p>\n <p>\n In addition to recreating the attack Pearl Harbor, the producers recreated the Honouliuli camp in a field in Helemano in central O'ahu, not too far from the actual site. Shooting at the site took place in one day in October 2013. Staff from the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai'i were on set that day.\n <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref2_2-0\">\n <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref2-2\">\n [2]\n </a>\n </sup>\n </p>\n <p>\n While co-producer Peter M. Tassler claimed that \"everything that we showed had to be historically accurate right down to the street signs,\" the writers and producers took a good amount of historical license with the story, essentially conflating the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans in the continental United States with the limited internment under\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Martial_law_in_Hawaii\" title=\"Martial law in Hawaii\">\n martial law\n </a>\n that took place in Hawai'i. Just about everything that happened to the Toriyamas could not have happened as described: women and children were not summarily arrested and detained in Hawai'i, families were not held at Honouliuli, Japanese American internees were not held in tents there, and they could not possibly have brought a samurai sword into Honouliuli. The arresting officers/agents are brutal—one strikes and knocks down Kenji—and give the family minutes to pack what they could carry, with the house and whatever they can't carry reverting to government. The implication is that these events took place soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor; however, Honouliuli did not open until March of 1943. In an early scene, David Toriyama concludes his impassioned plea about the wrongness of the internment by stating, \"We were looked upon as traitors in our own country, but let me tell you something: during the entire war, there was not one single incident of treason ever committed by Japanese-Americans—not a one!\" In fact two Japanese Americans were convicted of treason the three more of conspiracy to commit treason.

CBS screened the episode for Japanese American community representatives in Los Angeles on December 2, all of whom commented positively on it. It was also previewed for visitors to the\n <i>\n USS Missouri\n </i>\n in the week prior to its TV airing. Asian American media critic Guy Aoki called \"this special episode was very moving\" (though he also qualified his review by stating that he \"can't vouch for the historical accuracy of everything that supposedly happened in World War II in this episode\") and popular blogger Gil Asakawa called the show \"profoundly moving.\" Verne Gay of\n <i>\n Newsday\n </i>\n called it \"melodramatic, a bit manipulative and far too conveniently wrapped in the allotted 44 minutes, [but] this is still a hell of an episode.\"\n <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref4_4-0\">\n <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref4-4\">\n [4]\n </a>\n </sup>\n </p>\n <div id=\"authorByline\">\n <b>\n Authored by\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Brian_Niiya\" title=\"Brian Niiya\">\n Brian Niiya\n </a>\n , Densho\n </b>\n </div>\n <div id=\"citationAuthor\" style=\"display:none;\">\n Niiya, Brian\n </div>\n <p>\n Might also like\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/%22Forty_Years_from_Sand_Island%22_(film)\" title='\"Forty Years from Sand Island\" (film)'>\n <i>\n Forty Years from Sand Island\n </i>\n </a>\n (1983);\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/The_Untold_Story:_Internment_of_Japanese_Americans_in_Hawai%27i_(film)\" title=\"The Untold Story: Internment of Japanese Americans in Hawai'i (film)\">\n The Untold Story: Internment of Japanese Americans in Hawai'i\n </a>\n </i>\n (2012);\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/Justice Betrayed (film)/\" title=\"Justice Betrayed (film)\">\n Justice Betrayed\n </a>\n </i>\n (1992)\n </p>\n </div>\n </div>\n</div>\n",
