The Clippers introduced their Community Heroes of the game. Waving is veteran Ed Nakamura, who served during World War II as a staff sergeant with the Military Intelligence Service, after being drafted out of the Minidoka camp in Idaho. In high school, he was a star on his high school basketball team.
Also recognized was Brian Kito, the third-generation operator of Fugetsu-Do confectionery. Established in 1903 in Little Tokyo, the business is believed to be the oldest Japanese-American-owned store in the U.S.
The Eberly family bundled up and made the trip from Pasadena to catch the game.
