Pres. of Japan Sendai Mission - 1981-84
according to LDS Church News
Sam K. Shimabukuro, 55, is a high councilor in the Honolulu Hawaii West Stake.
He was born in Waipahu, Hawaii, a son of Kame and Ushi Nakasone Shimabukuro. He married Amy Hirose Kurosawa Oct. 30, 1957 in Tokyo, Japan. Their only child died in 1974. They are members of the Honolulu Aliamanu Ward.
Pres. Shimabukuro received a bachelor's degree from the University of Hawaii. He currently works for the Hawaii state labor department. His Church service has included assignments as bishop, seventies quorum president and Sunday School president. From 1954-1957 he filled a full-time mission to the Northern Far East Mission.
Born in Hawaii on 7 June 1925, Elder Shimabukuro was the youngest child of Kame and Ushi Nakasone Shimabukuro, migrant laborers from Okinawa, Japan. At the time of Sam’s baptism, his parents were already deceased, and he was living with his older brother.
One of the highlights of Elder Shimabukuro’s life has been his full-time mission to his parents’ homeland. “I served as a missionary for three years, half of that time in Japan proper, and half of the time on the island of Okinawa, where I opened up the area. I had never been there before, and it was a tremendous privilege for me to serve in the land my parents came from.”
There were other blessings that came from his mission. It was in Okinawa that this young elder met his future wife, Amy Michiko Hirose. After finishing his mission, Elder Shimabukuro returned to Okinawa to court her and then to ask the Hiroses’ approval for their daughter to return to Hawaii as his wife. “Fortunately, they consented,” says Elder Shimabukuro, chuckling.

"Obedience is the price, faith is the power, love is the motive, the Spirit is the key, and Christ is the reason." The motto of the Japan Fukuoka Mission can be applied not only to missionary work, but to everyday life. -BYU President Bateman
