Hiroji “Hiro” Inokuma was born March 19, 1933 in Kobe, Japan. He graduated from the University of Kobe with a degree in Economics. He married his loving wife of 58 years, Yukiko, in 1962. He immigrated his family to Southern California in 1979 for its beautiful weather. He enjoyed fishing, playing golf, and watching sumo. He was highly ranked in the game of go and shogi. Above all, he loved his wife and children and sacrificed many hard-working years with no golf, fishing or other fun so his family could succeed in the new country to which we immigrated. Hiro passed peacefully in his sleep on June 24, 2020 at his home in Mission Viejo, California. He is survived by his wife, Yukiko, his son and wife, Ichiro and Kumiko, his daughter and husband, Yoko and Erik Bulman, and his grandchildren Aiden and Cole Bulman.
