...Women. Back in Hiroshima, Kiyoshi Kikawa lies in the hospital for bomb victims. His arms and back are covered with a mass growth of scar tissue called keloids. Said he last week: "Tell them in America that I would have been happy to die, but I am living with this [pointing to his back]. Something good must come of this. I now want to be sent to the U.S. so doctors can experiment with my body. It does not matter if I die so long as I can be of some use to a world of peace...
...played last week in Tokyo.* Nervous, white-haired Michio Ito, who had spent 20 years in the U.S. directing dance productions, had rehearsed the cast for two months. The 49-man Tokyo Philharmonic had been drilled on the tricky rhythms of Sullivan's music. Kiyoshi Takagi, as Ko-Ko, had learned how to sing "teet wiro. teet wiro." The producers had gambled a whopping 1,800,000 yen ($36,000) on the production. Reserved seats went for 80 yen, the highest theater prices in Japanese history...
...something of the siren in her." Explaining her election in a hotly contested Osaka district, the Nippon Times said: "Whatever she lacked in political acumen she made up amply in sex appeal." Last week, Kiyoko was having Dietary troubles: she had fallen in love with a dashing fellow delegate, Kiyoshi Kawani-shi, 28 (heir to the Kawanishi Aircraft fortune).

The flashiest team seen in the U.S. in many years, Sakamoto's boys include the Brothers Nakamo (Kiyoshi and Bunmei), who learned to swim in the irrigation ditches of the sugar plantation where they worked with their Japanese parents. Last year, at the national U.S. meet, Brother Kiyoshi, a University of Hawaii student, outswam mainland topnotchers in the 440-and 880-yd. free-style events, and Brother Bunmei took the mile...
Last week Brother Kiyoshi chalked up another double: the 800-meter and 1,500-meter championships (all events have been changed to metric distances this year). But this year he had more than his kid brother to contend with. In the 400-meter free-style his title was copped by up-&-coming, 17-year-old Bill Smith Jr., a kinky-red-haired fellow Hawaiian (part English), who a few months ago broke the world's records for 200, 300 and 400 meters. Teammate Smith, nicknamed Malolo (flying fish) by his native playmates because he has no Hawaiian name, also...
