Jikai Yamazato was individually listed as a civilian enemy-alien internee held at Camp McCoy, Wisconsin, in the camp roster observed at 6:00 a.m. on May 1, 1942. The roster documents actual wartime administrative confinement; it does not establish a criminal conviction or a complete custody duration. The roster labels the administrative internment classification “Permanently”; this is not a life sentence or a measurement of time served. May 1, 1942 is the roster observation, not an admission date. Initial admission, actual physical release, and final custody duration are unstated. No ethnicity, ideology, criminal offense or present custody status is inferred.
