Born in 1904 in Tokyo, Japan, his family moved to the United States in 1908, where his father became the dean of Japanese Christian ministers in Los Angeles. He was educated at Stanford University in California, where he graduated with an A.B. in 1926 and a Masters degree in 1928. He received his Ph.D. in history from the same institution in 1938.
In 1932 he began lecturing in history and geography at the University of California in Los Angeles, bringing the “East to the West” for almost ten years. He left in 1941 and moved to Japan to become an editor of the Tokyo Nippon Times. He remained there throughout the World War II years, and returned to the United States in 1949. He joined the Political Science department staff at Stanford University in California in 1951 as a visiting lecturer, became an associate professor in 1953, and a full professor in 1959.
