Joseph Heco (Hikozo Hamada, 1837--1897) was born in Harima town, Hyogo prefecture. He survived a shipwreck in 1851, was taken to the US and became one of the first Japanese to become a US citizen. Returning to Japan, he published the first Japanese newspaper, while Japan was still closed to the outside world.
